Port Authority C988 Wholesale Flexfit NU Cap — Blank Premium Performance Stretch Fit Headwear for Athletic & Corporate Programs
The Port Authority C988 Flexfit NU Cap is the most technically advanced Flexfit cap in the Port Authority lineup — featuring a tri-layer front panel with minimal stitching technique and interior seam-sealed taping for ease of decoration, ActiveGuard™ technology to diffuse sweat through the undervisor more effectively, Cool & Dry moisture-wicking technology, a moisture-wicking sweatband, and a Permacurv® bill. Constructed from 79/18/3 polyester/rayon/spandex in a structured mid-profile stretch fit construction, the C988 delivers a premium performance cap that combines advanced sweat management, decoration-optimized construction, and the comfortable stretch fit of Flexfit technology. Available in three colorways — Deep Black, River Blue Navy, and Storm Grey — in S/M and L/XL sizing, the C988 covers the core neutral palette for premium athletic and corporate programs. The tri-layer front panel with interior seam-sealed taping is a standout decoration feature — the sealed interior seams create a smooth, flat inner surface that prevents embroidery backing from showing through the front panel, resulting in cleaner, more professional embroidery results than standard single-layer performance caps. Buyers who also stock the Port Authority C865 Flexfit Cap for standard stretch programs will find the C988 a natural premium performance companion for accounts that need the most advanced Flexfit performance technology available.
Joe’s USA stocks the Port Authority C988 across our Texas and California warehouses for fast nationwide fulfillment on bulk Port Authority premium performance headwear orders. The C988 ships blank and undecorated — ready to move directly into your embroidery or heat transfer workflow.

Technology and Construction Overview
The Port Authority C988 stacks multiple performance technologies into a single cap. ActiveGuard™ technology diffuses sweat through the undervisor more effectively than standard cap constructions — reducing the sweat buildup that causes discomfort and staining during intense athletic activity. Cool & Dry technology wicks perspiration away from the skin and accelerates evaporation, keeping wearers cool and dry during extended wear. The moisture-wicking sweatband provides an additional layer of sweat management at the forehead. The tri-layer front panel with interior seam-sealed taping is engineered specifically for decoration — the sealed interior seams prevent embroidery backing from showing through the front panel, and the tri-layer construction provides a stable, firm needle surface for clean embroidery stitch-out. Decorators running wholesale blank Flexfit caps for premium athletic embroidery programs will find the C988’s decoration-optimized construction delivers the cleanest embroidery results of any performance cap in the Port Authority lineup.
Decoration Compatibility
The C988’s tri-layer front panel with seam-sealed taping is purpose-built for embroidery — providing a stable, clean decoration surface that delivers professional results without backing show-through. Heat transfer and DTF applications work on the poly/rayon/spandex construction with appropriate settings. Buyers sourcing bulk blank premium performance caps for athletic and corporate decoration programs will find the C988’s three neutral colorways work across premium athletic and corporate brand color systems.
