Ultra-lightweight outdoor Cap that can handle rain and strong winds>> ● Outdoor Cap that makes the most of merino wool's moisture control, heat retention, breathability, and odor resistance ● Waterproof fabric X-Pac™ is resistant to rain and can withstand strong winds ● Cap that fits gently on the surprisingly ultra-light head and can be worn with a knit hat << there are hats for mountaineering and hiking>> ☑️ I'm worried about the smell of the cap due to sweat, etc. ☑️ If it's a synthetic fiber, your head will get stuffy. ☑️ The cap itself is heavy ☑️ If it's raining, the eaves will get wet. ☑️ If the sweat removal part is made of synthetic fibers, the forehead will be rashed. ☑️ Cap blown away by the wind ☑️ The cap is bulky In fact, all of these are things that I have always thought about wearing off-the-shelf caps in the outdoor field. Even if I could solve one of them, I couldn't solve another problem, and I couldn't find a cap that met my ideal. The project we are delivering this time is the [U.L. Merino X Cap], which can solve the problem of caps for mountaineering and hiking at once with a collaboration of unique materials, and can be comfortably worn in various outdoor fields such as mountaineering and hiking, as well as camping. <<What is U.L. Merino X Cap>> 【Selected materials】 1. Merino wool The cap body is made of 80% merino wool yarn, a natural fiber that has excellent moisture control, heat retention, breathability, and odor resistance. The remaining 20% is the polyester yarn of the thermo, which is necessary to form the shape of the cap. By fine-tuning this formula, we have created a supple cap that fits gently on the head. Merino wool reacts to changes in body temperature, keeping you cool in hot weather and warm and comfortable in cold weather. Merino wool can be said to be a sustainable material for the SDGs. 2.　X-Pac™ The eaves are made of X-Pac™, a waterproof fabric, so that even if it rains during mountain climbing or hiking, the eaves that come out of the hood of the rainwear do not get wet and are resistant to rain. * Waterproof fabric is used, but the seams (seams) are not waterproofed, so it is not completely waterproof. * This product has not been tested for waterproofing, and is a feature of X-Pac™ material. 3. Loans For the inner sweat removal part, I avoided synthetic fibers with an emphasis on texture and feel because it is the part that comes into contact with the skin, and used a lawn (type of fabric) that is a mixture of cotton and linen. Lawn is a plain weave of thin count yarn that is soft and smooth to the touch. Even if it is in contact with the skin for a long time, it is made of natural fiber cotton and linen, so it is less likely to cause rashes and less stress. In addition, because it contains hemp, it is easy to dry even if it gets wet, and bacteria are less likely to grow. 4. Buckle The removable buckle on the back of the head is as light and easy to handle as possible, and the cap can be worn even with the hair tied. The size of the head circumference is about 54.5 to 62 cm, and it can be adjusted steplessly. 【Special Functions】 1. High odor resistance Because it is made of deodorant merino wool, it prevents odors caused by sweat, scalp, and hair stains even if you sweat for a long time in the summer or wear it for many days. * This is a characteristic of the merino wool material itself. 2. Rain-resistant eaves Even if it suddenly rains during mountain climbing, hiking, camping, etc., the eaves are made of waterproof fabric X-Pac™, so the eaves that come out of the hood of the rainwear are resistant to rain and rain. * Waterproof fabric is used, but the seams (seams) are not waterproofed, so it is not completely waterproof. * This product has not been tested for waterproofing, and is a feature of X-Pac™ material. 3. Resistant to wind Normally, the material that will be the core is placed in the eaves, but by eliminating the core and forming only the tension of the X-Pac™ fabric itself, the shape of the eaves can be maintained while being flexibly bent, so if the eaves are raised upward, it will be less likely to be blown away by the wind. * Actual measurement. Depending on the usage environment, the durable wind speed may vary. 13 m/s is only a guide. 4. Ultra light It is so light that you can't help but say "It's light!" when you hold it, and it weighs about 50 to 60 g (there are individual differences depending on the material. ）。 Even if you wear it for a long time, you will not feel stress. * There are individual differences in how you feel, so it does not apply to all people. 5. Compactness When not in use, it is compact to the size of the palm of your hand and can be stored in a pocket, backpack, sacoche, or even a bag on a daily basis. Both Merino wool and X-Pac™ are less likely to remain after folding, so wrinkles are not a concern. 6. Pair it with a knitted hat and have an eaves Because it is soft and gentle to wear, there is no discomfort even if you wear a knit hat over the top as it is, and you can equip the knit hat with eaves. Few knitted hats have eaves, but if knitted hats also have eaves, you can avoid the sun that gets directly into your eyes. If you have a [ U.L. Merino X Cap ] and a knit hat, you can spend a comfortable time in the outdoor field all year round. [Particular design] 1. Cap body The prototype sample was repeatedly used for mountain climbing and hiking to confirm the actual feel, and in pursuit of a sense of stability when worn, as well as coolness when viewed in appearance and images, the main body was designed to be longer from the top of the head to the sides and slightly deeper. 2. Longer eaves The length of the eaves is designed to be slightly longer at about 7 cm so that direct sunlight can be avoided as much as possible. 3. Straps For the strap for adjusting the size, we used the same X-Pac™ fabric and color as the eaves to create a sense of unity and a simple design that does not get tired. ＜＜SPEC＞＞ ● Product name U.L.
