Ciele TRKCap SC
Ciele has reworked the classic trucker cap and their TRKCAP SC features the super-comfy SOFTcurve brim, a pinched crown, a front panel backed by a 3D air mesh structure for easy packability and a racer mesh for breathability. And unexpectedly, they’ve added a low-profile emergency whistle built into the back clip just in case you get separated from your crew. www.cieleathletics.com
