Patagonia Duckbill Cap

The Patagonia Duckbill Cap is an ultralight, breathable running cap designed for trail running, hiking and high-intensity outdoor adventures. With its distinctive short brim, ventilated mesh construction and packable design, it's an excellent choice for runners who want reliable sun protection without overheating or carrying unnecessary weight.

The front panel and brim are made from NetPlus recycled nylon, produced using discarded fishing nets, while the recycled polyester mesh crown allows heat and moisture to escape during demanding activity. A lightweight internal sweatband helps manage perspiration, keeping you comfortable on warm days and longer runs.

The flexible foam brim can be folded into a pocket and springs back into shape when needed, making the Duckbill Cap particularly convenient for trail running and travel. A dark underbill helps reduce glare, while the adjustable rear closure provides a secure, personalised fit.
