Basic Cap

RIDGE MOUNTAIN GEAR is a manufacturer of tools for spending time in the mountains, and for simplifying the daily life leading up to that time.
RIDGE MOUNTAIN GEAR has an atelier in Zushi City, Kanagawa Prefecture, and uses the idea of making mountain gear for one's own use as a starting point to carefully create simple, long-lasting tools one by one.

The "Basic Cap" was created by Mr. Kurosawa himself, who has a slightly large head circumference, with the aim of creating a cap that can be worn with ease and without stress. For this reason, the head size (head circumference) is a little looser than most caps.
The design of the main body is a basic 6-piece graft. In contrast to cycle caps, which have a shallow body and short braces, this cap has a loose and deep body, and the braces are just the right length to provide shade from the sun without being affected by the wind too much.
The main body is made of Toray's Stunner®, a 100% nylon material that is water repellent, windproof, and permeable. It prevents discomfort caused by perspiration while protecting against wind and rain.
The sweatband is made of COOLMAX® fabric. COOLMAX® fabric is a 100% moss-stitched polyester material that absorbs water, dries quickly, and provides UV protection (UPF 40+).
It is a "Basic Cap" with a design and texture that can be used comfortably in the mountains and also in the city.
