Next up, the Basic Cap...
The Basic Cap is a model that has been chosen by many at RIDGE MOUNTAIN GEAR. The
"Basic Cap Punching" retains the same shape, depth, and brim length—the reasons why it has been so popular—while enhancing breathability.
Laser punching is applied only where and how much is needed. It has
the same appearance as the original Basic Cap, but when viewed up close, you can see the fine texture.
Heat and moisture can escape more easily from inside the hat, reducing sweat buildup and stuffiness. The punching is designed to reduce discomfort inside the hat, even in hot and humid wooded areas or during periods of little wind.
We aimed for a "crossroads of technology and simplicity." The added functionality is to improve the quality of use, not just decoration. We have made minimal updates to the classic shape while balancing usability, appearance, and durability.
It should feel natural to both those who love the Basic Cap and those who are choosing a cap for the first time. The
Basic Cap Punching maintains the same comfortable fit while taking comfort in hot weather to the next level.

Material
The cap's body is made from Toray's Stunner®, a 100% nylon material that combines water repellency, wind resistance, and excellent breathability. This high-performance material provides robust protection from natural threats such as rain and wind, while reducing stuffiness and discomfort caused by perspiration, ensuring lasting comfort. Stunner®'s greatest feature
is its superior durable water-repellent function. It can handle not only light rain but also sudden weather changes, and its water-repellent performance lasts, allowing for long-term use. Furthermore, its excellent wind resistance prevents cold air from entering, keeping you warm even on chilly days. On the other hand, its high breathability allows excess moisture to escape, maintaining comfort even during strenuous activities.
This material, while being a synthetic fiber, boasts a natural and elegant appearance reminiscent of a cotton blend. Its natural look allows it to maintain high functionality as outdoor wear while seamlessly blending into everyday life and urban styling.
Furthermore, a special coating applied to the reverse side creates a texture with just the right amount of firmness and body. This processing ensures that the lightweight material maintains its shape well and resists wrinkles during use, which is another major advantage.
The sweatband uses COOLMAX® fabric.
This 100% polyester material with a pique knit offers both moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties, as well as UV protection (UPF 40+).
