Product Description
You've grabbed a "lightweight" running hat before that still felt like a brick by mile 6, soaked through and holding onto every bit of heat your body's trying to shed. Here's what most athletes don't realize — a cap can shield you from the sun without adding a single gram you'll notice.
The Ciele GOCap Icon is the classic five-panel running cap built with ceramic ripstop fabric and embedded carbon fibers, so it reflects heat instead of holding onto it.
Ceramic Ripstop That Reflects the Sun The main fabric uses a ceramic ripstop weave designed to shield and bounce back the sun's rays, so your head stays cooler from the outside in, not just from sweat evaporating.
Carbon-Regulated Top and Sides The knit panels on top and along the sides are built with embedded carbon fibers that help regulate temperature as you generate heat, so the cooling works from both directions — outside and in.
42 Grams, Packable Brim At 42 grams, this is one of the lightest caps in the lineup. The soft, flat brim folds down easily, so it disappears into a pocket or vest when you're not wearing it.
This cap works on two fronts. The ceramic fabric on the outside is engineered to shield and reflect sunlight before it ever turns into heat on your scalp. Meanwhile, the carbon-embedded knit on the inside pulls moisture and heat away from your skin as you sweat, so you're not trapping warmth under the fabric. Add sweatbands built into the same carbon-knit material, and sweat gets managed before it ever reaches your eyes.
Sizing: This listing runs M/L (fits heads around 58cm). Check Ciele's fit guide if you're between sizes. Wear it: Anywhere sun exposure and packability both matter — long runs in direct light, travel races where bag space is tight, or any run where you want a cap you forget you're wearing. Wash it: Machine wash cold with like colors, skip the fabric softener and bleach, and hang to dry. Skip the dryer entirely to protect the technical fabric.
This Icon edition brings the same fabric technology Ciele uses in its Elite line down into the everyday Performance Run category, and it's backed by Ciele's Million Miles Guarantee. It's the go-to for runners who want race-level sun protection without race-level price or weight.
Stop settling for a cap that just sits there soaking up heat. Get one built to bounce it back.
