Port Authority C949 Wholesale Outdoor UV Sun Shade Cap — Blank UPF 30+ Insect Repellent Neck Cape Headwear for Outdoor & Safety Programs
The Port Authority C949 Outdoor UV Sun Shade Cap is the most technically advanced sun protection cap in the wholesale blank Port Authority headwear lineup — combining UPF 30+ sun protection, No Fly Zone® insect repellent technology, a moisture-wicking sweatband, an elongated bill for additional sun protection, and a 9.875” x 19.125” back neck sun cape into a single cap designed for maximum outdoor protection. Constructed from 75/25 poly/nylon ripstop with an adjustable cord and toggle at the crown, the C949 is purpose-built for outdoor workers, agricultural programs, landscaping crews, fishing guides, and any program where extended sun and insect exposure is a genuine occupational hazard. Available in three practical colorways — Olive Leaf, Sterling Grey, and Stone — the C949 covers the core earth-tone and neutral palette for outdoor work and lifestyle programs. The No Fly Zone® insect repellent treatment is EPA-registered and provides effective protection against mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers, and midges — a meaningful safety feature for outdoor workers in insect-heavy environments. Buyers building outdoor workwear headwear programs will find the C949 a unique specialty option that delivers genuine occupational safety value beyond standard sun caps.
Joe’s USA stocks the Port Authority C949 across our Texas and California warehouses for fast nationwide fulfillment on bulk Port Authority outdoor headwear orders. The C949 ships blank and undecorated. Note: Specially treated products may be subject to additional requirements — check with local authorities for any applicable regulations.

Fabric and Construction Overview
The Port Authority C949 uses 75/25 poly/nylon ripstop — a lightweight, durable fabric that resists tearing and provides the base for the UPF 30+ sun protection treatment. The ripstop weave reinforces the fabric against tearing in field conditions, while the poly/nylon blend provides quick-dry performance for active outdoor use. The No Fly Zone® insect repellent treatment is bonded to the fabric fibers rather than applied as a surface coating — it remains effective through multiple wash cycles and provides consistent protection throughout the life of the cap. The elongated bill provides additional shade for the face and eyes beyond standard cap bills, and the back neck sun cape — nearly 10 inches tall and 19 inches wide — provides substantial coverage for the neck and upper back in direct sun. The adjustable cord and toggle at the crown allows wearers to customize the fit without a traditional closure mechanism.
Decoration Compatibility
The C949’s unstructured ripstop construction accepts embroidery with backing stabilizer on the front panel. Low stitch count designs work best. Heat transfer is not recommended on the treated ripstop fabric. Buyers sourcing bulk blank outdoor performance caps for sun protection programs should also consider the Port Authority C995 All-Day Performance UPF Perforated Cap for a more standard cap silhouette with UPF protection alongside the C949’s full sun shade construction.
Wholesale and Program Buying Advantages
Joe’s USA has been supplying wholesale blank Port Authority headwear since 1986. The C949 is a strong performer for agricultural programs, landscaping crews, fishing guides, outdoor education programs, and any account where sun and insect protection are genuine occupational requirements.
