Sealskinz Foldable Peak Caps

Designed to make keeping a cap in your pack or car a breeze. 100% waterproof and foldable - a fresh take on the classic cap.

What are the benefits of foldable caps?

Foldable peak caps offer a unique combination of protection and portability that is especially useful for outdoor adventurers. Because the peak (visor) can be bent, folded, or flexed, these caps collapse down and slip easily into pockets or tight spaces, making them ideal when you want sun protection but need to stow your headwear without deforming it. Sealskinz’s foldable caps, which often pair a foldable peak with our Aquasealz™ , give you rain, wind, and UV protection in a compact, travel-friendly form. The soft but structured materials rebound back into shape when unpacked, so you get full functionality without worrying about a permanently bent brim.

Are foldable caps suitable for hiking?

Yes, foldable caps are excellent for hiking, especially in variable weather conditions and terrain. A foldable cap combines the sun-shielding ability of a standard peak cap with the convenience of being extremely packable. On the trail, you can tuck it into a pocket when you're not using it, or pull it out quickly when the sun comes out. In wet conditions, Sealskinz’s foldable peak caps have a practical waterproof membrane to help keep rain off your face while maintaining breathability. The flexibility of the design means you always have protection close at hand, even when you’re changing layers or route conditions shift.

How do I pack a foldable cap without damaging it?

Packing a foldable cap carefully ensures it retains its shape and performance for the long haul. Begin by ensuring the cap is fully dry: never pack it wet or damp. Then, fold the peak along the fold lines. Place the folded cap inside a soft pouch or back pocket where heavier items won’t press on it. These practices help Sealskinz foldable peak caps bounce back to original form and preserve waterproofing and fit.
