Buying Running Caps at 21RUN

An important running accessory is the running cap. A running cap can protect you from bright sunlight and heat in summer, and provides warmth in winter. Whether you want to keep your head cool in hot conditions or nice and warm in cold temperatures, there are running caps for every season and for every runner. Running caps come in many shapes and sizes, and are offered by a wide variety of brands. But what should you look out for when purchasing a running cap?

Benefits of a Running Cap

At 21RUN you will find running caps for men and running caps for women. As a runner you want to be able to go out for your run no matter the season or the conditions. There are many different brands that offer caps and therefore many different factors should be taken into account when buying a running cap. Below we’ve listed a few important characteristics that we think a running cap should possess:

Summer

• Protects you from the sun
• Regulates body temperature
• Has ventilation holes
• Keeps the sun out of your eyes
• Prevents heat stroke

Winter

• Keeps your head warm
• Features reflective elements
• Regulates body temperature
• Is water repellent

A running cap protects both the face as the top of the head. However, there are also running visors, which are open on top. These are running caps that mainly wick away sweat and protect your eyes from bright sunlight. If you run with glasses, a visor can also be very useful as a sun screen. A visor protects your glasses and prevents sweat from dripping down. At temperatures below zero, a running hat can offer more comfort and warmth than a cap.

Running Cap Brands

At 21RUN you will find different running caps of different brands. Major brands such as Nike, adidas and ASICS, of course, also make running caps. Brands such as Buff, Ciele and Compressport, however, have specialized themselves in running caps as well as other headwear. Ciele caps are straightforward, but very functional. The Ciele company has been around for several years now and has lived by the slogan “we started at the top" from the very beginning of the company. If you want an eye-catching cap, then a Buff cap is the cap for you. If you want to wrapped yourself up completely during a cold winter run, you can also opt for Buff neck warmers. At 21RUN you will find a wide range of running caps and running caps from various top brands.
