Lightweight cap

The first samples have just arrived and we just wanted to give you a quick update and show you where we are heading in the project.

Last updated we asked for your input on colors and it was quite clear that solid was the way forward.

This first production run will we make it in a dark blue color.

Even though it’s just a cap are we making a few details different, details that we think we make all the difference.

 
- We are making it light weight. You want it protected you from the sun not be heavy on your head. Around 50 gram.

- It dries quite fast. We are not just playing on dry land, sometimes we need sun protection in the water too.

- You can easily open up the adjustment and attach the cap to something else, like your backpack if you just want it off your head for a while.

- The whole thing is flexible. This means it can easily be stored away in a pocket.

- It’s stretchy, even the adjustment is stretchy! This we make for a great fit.

- Have a kid that needs to borrow it, the flexible back adjustment makes it possible to really compress and the size smaller.

Follow along for the next update as we open up for pre-orders.

As always our starting point is to make a really good products but in this case we figure we also could make use of something that is way too often left behind.

This is probably nothing new to anyone but the textile industry keeps on over producing things and especially fabrics. In an ever faster changing world where a strange desire to exchange clothes have unfortunately become a norm, fabric often gets over produced. Even the really good qualities get overproduced. The good thing when your are a smaller company with some good contacts is that you can get your hands on some of the very best fabrics.

We have found some really nice, super lightweight and stretchy fabrics from South Korea that we will use in this project.

In this specific case have we found two really nice shades, one dark blue and one summer light beige. Very similar in color with what we have on the Lind pants.

What do you think, should we go mixed or solid when we color them?

Follow along for the next update.

Probably one of most asked for products by you has been a cap. Well let’s make one!

We figured, as this will for sure be a summer product let's make it real lightweight, borderline ultra light and flexible. A cap that you can get good sun protection from no matter if you are hiking slow or running fast.
