Adams Headwear Extreme Conditions Neck Cap - Adams Headwear 13108

Adams Headwear 13108 Extreme Conditions Neck Cap with UPF 45+ Sun Veil for Outdoor Work and Fishing Crews

The Adams Headwear Extreme Conditions Neck Cap (13108) is purpose-built sun armor: a four-panel, low-profile cap in 70/30 cotton/nylon that adds an 8 1/2 inch veil to shield the neck and ears, with UPF 45+ protection rated into the fabric. Mesh side panels and the Adams exclusive Cool-Crown comfort mesh lining move air through the crown, and a patented zipper pocket hides in the veil. It is the most protective silhouette in the Adams Headwear outdoor group and one of the more specialized pieces across our wholesale hat selection.

Specifications at a Glance

Quick Answer: When the 13108 Is the Right Call

Specify the 13108 when wearers spend full shifts under open sky and a standard cap leaves ears and neck exposed: guide services, landscaping crews, surveyors, and anglers all fit the profile. For crews who want the same outdoor fabric package without the veil, the Extreme Outdoor cap handles the lighter half of the same job.

Construction Built for Full Sun

The 70/30 cotton/nylon shell balances natural comfort with the durability nylon brings, and the fabric carries a UPF 45+ rating so the protection is measured rather than assumed. Adams vents the crown three ways at once: open mesh on the two side panels, large metal eyelets, and the Cool-Crown comfort mesh lining that holds the fabric off the scalp. The foam covered visor keeps weight down, and the 8 1/2 inch veil drops from the rear of the crown to cover neck and ears, with a patented zipper pocket sewn into it for a key or card.

Fit and Field Wear

The four-panel, low-profile crown sits close to the head, which matters when a veil is involved: a taller crown would catch wind and shift. Worn with the veil down, coverage extends across the ears and the back of the neck, the zones field workers burn first. The mesh siding earns its keep in humid conditions, letting the cap stay on through a full shift instead of coming off at the first break.

Decoration Guidance

Decoration goes on the front panels above the visor, where the low-profile crown presents a clean, moderate logo zone; keep artwork compact and bold rather than wide. Left-side placement is not available in the usual way because of the mesh siding, so plan front-and-center. Crews standardizing across formats often match art with the Extreme Performance cap so office and field staff carry one identity.

Field Settings Where the 13108 Earns Its Keep

Wholesale and Program Buying

Sun-protective headwear is usually specified rather than merely liked: someone in safety or operations decides crews need coverage, and the 13108 answers with a printed UPF 45+ rating they can cite in policy documents. Buyers outfitting mixed field programs often run this style for the exposed roles and draw everyday coverage from the Extreme Conditions neck cap ACXM101 listing or the broader outdoor caps when veils are optional.

Buyer and Reorder Workflow

Programs typically start by fitting a handful of field staff for a trial period, since veil styles live or die on whether crews actually wear them. This one tends to survive the trial: the venting is real and the veil does not flap badly thanks to the low crown. After approval, art files stay on record with your decorator and repeat runs before each summer season become routine.

Who Specifies the 13108 and Why

Safety-minded operations managers are the core buyer, protecting crews and reducing sunburn-related complaints in one purchase. Guide services and outfitters buy it because clients notice when staff wear serious sun gear. Agricultural and municipal supervisors buy it because it survives sweat, dust, and daily wear while keeping a rated barrier between sun and skin. In every case the veil plus UPF rating is the deciding pair.

Choosing Between the 13108 and Its Companions

Our Recommendation

When the requirement reads all-day sun with neck coverage, specify the 13108 first and treat unveiled outdoor caps as the supporting cast for shorter-exposure roles. Between the rated fabric, triple-path venting, and the veil pocket, it solves the whole exposure problem in one piece of headwear rather than asking crews to layer bandanas under standard caps.

Alternatives and Replacement Styles

If field feedback favors a brim over a veil, the guide-style Extreme Adventurer floatable-brim bucket hat XP101 delivers wraparound shade in a different silhouette. Programs replacing an older discontinued flap cap will find the 13108 covers the same duty with more ventilation than most legacy designs offered.

What Sets the 13108 Apart

Many sun caps bolt a fabric flap onto an ordinary crown. The 13108 was engineered as a system: rated UPF 45+ cloth, mesh siding and eyelets working with the Cool-Crown lining to dump heat, a foam visor that keeps the whole assembly light, and a veil that carries its own patented zipper pocket. It is field equipment first and headwear second, which is exactly what its buyers want.

Care and Durability

Rinse or hand wash cold after sweaty field days, especially where salt spray is involved, and air dry. Keep the zipper track clear of grit so the veil pocket stays smooth, and avoid high heat, which is harder on blended fabric and embroidery than sun exposure ever will be. The metal eyelets and foam visor need no special attention beyond drying fully before storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sun protection rating does the Adams 13108 carry?
The fabric is rated UPF 45+, giving crews a measurable level of ultraviolet protection across the crown and veil rather than an unrated cloth barrier.

How long is the neck veil on the Extreme Conditions cap?
The veil measures 8 1/2 inches, dropping from the rear of the crown to cover the ears and the back of the neck.

What is the zipper pocket on the 13108 for?
A patented zipper pocket is sewn into the veil, sized for small essentials like a key or a card so field staff can leave a bag behind.

What fabric is the 13108 made of?
The shell is a 70/30 cotton/nylon blend with open mesh on the two side panels for airflow, backed by the Cool-Crown comfort mesh lining.

Does this cap run hot with the veil on?
It is designed not to: mesh side panels, large metal eyelets, and the Cool-Crown lining vent the crown from three directions while the veil shades the neck.

Where should logos be embroidered on the 13108?
Front and center above the visor. The mesh side panels rule out side placements, so compact front artwork is the standard approach.

What kind of visor does the Extreme Conditions cap use?
A foam covered visor, which keeps the overall weight low so the cap stays comfortable through full shifts.

Is the 13108 suitable for fishing charters?
Yes. Reflected glare off water burns necks quickly, and the veil plus UPF 45+ fabric is exactly the coverage guides and clients need on deck.

How does the 13108 differ from the Adams Extreme Outdoor cap?
The 13108 wears a fixed 8 1/2 inch veil, while the Extreme Outdoor style uses a stowable neck cape with a cord adjustment for crews who want coverage only sometimes.

How should this sun cap be maintained?
Hand wash cold, rinse out salt and sweat regularly, air dry fully, and keep grit out of the veil zipper so the pocket keeps working season after season.
