Arc’teryx Paltz Cap: first impressions
At first glance, this cap appears like just another hiking hat or running hat, but once we got it out on the trail, we discovered a lot to like about it. The softshell fabric repels wind and moisture well, yet is really comfortable thanks to its breathability, stretch, and a moisture-wicking panel that sits against your forehead. An adjustment at the back allows you to cinch it tighter on a breezy day, and it manages to stay put in most conditions without giving you a headache or leaving a red mark.
