Lightweight, breathable, and designed for long efforts in warm conditions.
Inov8 says:
Keep a cool head with the ACTIVE CAP. Featuring a soft and moisture wicking headband, the cap’s side panels also have laser cut ventilation to keep you cool and comfortable during longer runs. The ACTIVE CAP has reflective detailing on the front logo as well as the brim of the cap’s peak, for safety when running on or near roads at night. Find your perfect fit with the cap’s hook and loop adjustable strap at the rear, with any excess strap tucking neatly into a pocket in the hat. The ACTIVE CAP’s peak is machine washable, and we recommend washing at 30oC, without using fabric softener for best results.
Our Verdict
Weighing 48g (Medium), the Inov8 Active Cap offers a minimalist fit that sits securely without pressure points. The hook-and-loop strap allows easy adjustment, with excess fabric tucked neatly away to avoid distraction. Ventilation is strong, with laser-cut side panels helping airflow on sustained climbs or runs. The internal headband effectively manages moisture, keeping sweat under control and maintaining comfort over time.
With UPF 50+ protection and reflective detailing, it works equally well in exposed sun and low-light road sections. The peak retains its shape in use but may require a quick reshape if packed flat. Made from recycled polyester, it dries quickly and handles regular washing without issue. For those wanting a simple, dependable running or hiking cap that prioritises ventilation and fit, this is a reliable choice.
