Running Caps

Fractel's running caps are cut for airflow, sun coverage and a fit that holds up over long, exposed runs.

Find Your Running Cap

Start with the classic M-Series for our original everyday fit. The CP-Series goes fitted and structured for race day, while the R-Series trims the weight down even further. If you want a high ponytail opening, the C-Series and E-Series both have a wide rear opening, sized standard and smaller. The T-Series brings a trucker shape into the mix for something more casual, and the A-Series adds a tuck-away neck cape if you're heading off-road into full sun.

Head on the smaller or larger side? We've got dedicated ranges for smaller heads and larger heads too. And if a cap alone isn't enough coverage, our legionnaire hats add a full neck cape, or try our visors for an open top and extra airflow.

FAQs

What sizes do Fractel running hats come in?

Many of our hats are one-size with an adjustable closure, while others come in specific circumferences (for example 56.5 - 60 - 62 cm in select series). Check the Size Guide or “Find Your Fit” link on each product page for measurement ranges and fit notes, especially if you prefer a deeper or more relaxed crown.

How should I care for my hat?

We recommend a cold machine wash on a gentle cycle, ideally in a wash bag, then hang to dry out of direct heat. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and ironing - the technical fabrics and internal sweatband are designed to perform best with simple care.

Why choose running caps over a regular cotton cap?

Cotton absorbs sweat and gets heavy, and it doesn't dry out between wears. Our running caps use lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics that pull sweat away from your head and dry fast, so the hat stays light and comfortable from the first kilometre to the last.

What should I actually look for in running caps?

A lightweight, quick-drying fabric, a wide sweatband to keep sweat out of your eyes, and a brim long enough to cut glare without blocking your view. Everything else is a bonus.

How do I stop running caps from blowing off in the wind?

A snug adjustable strap does most of the work, so start there before you blame the cap. Beyond that, a lower profile and a shorter brim catch less wind than a deep crown or an oversized peak.
