Why Choose the Calvus Cap?
The Arc'teryx Calvus Cap is designed for hiking and trail running, and has quickly become my go-to for sun protection. It's made from an ultralight technical polyester fabric that ensures breathability and moisture management. The Spacermesh band and Delta knit back panels provide superior ventilation, odor resistance, and keep the sweat out of my eyes. It features an adjustable strap that locks into a secure fit and is treated with DWR for protection against light rain.

How I Use the Arc'teryx Calvus Cap
This Arc'teryx cap is the only thing between me and skin cancer, as I run in the Dallas Sun.
- Running and Hiking: I usually wear the Calvus Cap on sunny hikes and runs. The brim shields my eyes perfectly, and the DWR finish handles any drizzle. The breathable mesh panels and Spacermesh band keep me cool and do an amazing job keeping the sweat out of my eyes.. I read online that it can feel warm in extreme heat, but I found it comfortable. If it's a scorcher of a day, I hike in the Sinsolo. Durability and packability are other strong points worth mentioning. It still looks pristine after multiple washes, and the brim retains its shape after being packed flat. All in all, this cap takes a beating and asks for more.
