Motivational Cotton Dad Cap - Adjustable & Embroidered with Vintage Look

📐 What size is this dad cap, and how does it fit?

This vintage cotton dad cap features an adjustable strap for a custom fit that works well for most adult head sizes from small to large. The quick-hook closure makes it easy to adjust on the go during transitions or travel. Unlike some technical caps, it doesn't offer compression or tailored racing fit — just comfortable, casual positioning.

🟢 Is this dad cap suitable for my first triathlon?

Absolutely — this is a perfect starter hat for your first sprint or Olympic distance triathlon. It's affordable, stylish, and great for pre-race warm-ups, transition zones, and post-race photos without the need for expensive technical gear. Just keep it for cooler conditions or short efforts, as cotton can hold sweat.

🧼 How should I care for this cotton dad cap?

Wash by hand in cold water or toss it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle, then air dry flat — no dryer heat. The vintage cotton holds up well with regular use but will soften over time. Avoid ironing the brim to keep its shape, and store it flat in your transition bag.

🏊‍♂️ Can I wear this cap during my triathlon race?

It's best for transitions and travel rather than race performance. Use it for sprint races in mild weather or as a backup on the bike/run if you forget your technical hat. For Half or Full IRONMAN in hot conditions, stick to moisture-wicking caps to avoid discomfort from sweat-holding cotton. Always check your race rules for headwear requirements.

Pro Tip: For longer races, pair it with a sweatband for better moisture control under your triathlon cap.

🔗 Does this cap fit under a cycling helmet?

Yes, the low-profile design fits under most cycling helmets for warm-weather rides or helmet-off moments. Test it with your specific helmet beforehand to ensure good ventilation and comfort — it provides sun protection without interfering with safety gear.
