TECHNICAL INFORMATION

What standards must a cap meet to be labelled "anti-UV"?

Anti-UV standards for hats are very specific: the fabric must of course be anti-UV (UPF index greater than 50), but this is not enough to claim that the finished product is anti-UV. The cap must also have a panel width that fully protects the face and nape of the neck.
This Trek 900 cap complies with the standard, so you can hike with complete peace of mind: you're perfectly protected!

Why is the inside of the visor darker?

When you're walking in the sand, the sun's rays reverberate on the inside of the visor and can dazzle you. To prevent this, we've chosen a darker color that avoids this unpleasant reverberation.

Why hide your face in the desert?

Those who have already experienced it will be able to testify: sandstorms are frequent in the desert. You'll need to cover your face if you don't want to eat sand for the rest of your trek!
Our cap has 2 snap fasteners to hold the flap of the cap in front of your face.
This feature also protects your face and neck from UV rays.

Why protect the neck?

You may not know it, but sunstroke isn't just caused by exposure to UV rays on the skull. You can also get sunstroke if your neck is exposed. To prevent this, our Desert 900 cap features long panels that cover the nape of the neck, right up to the shoulders.
