Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Stay-Dri sweatband perform during active wear?
The Stay-Dri sweatband actively wicks moisture away from the forehead, keeping wearers dry and comfortable during running, cycling, hiking, and other active pursuits. The moisture-wicking technology works continuously to manage perspiration and enhance comfort.

Is the Richardson 224RE suitable for embroidery and decoration?

How does the relaxed unstructured fit compare to structured caps?
The relaxed unstructured profile has no stiff front panels, creating a soft, broken-in feel that conforms to the head naturally. This provides a more casual, comfortable fit compared to structured caps while maintaining enough shape for decoration and everyday wear.

How should I care for recycled polyester performance caps?
Machine wash cold on gentle cycle and air dry to preserve the recycled polyester fabric and maintain the cap's performance features. Avoid high heat and harsh detergents, which can affect the moisture-wicking properties and fabric integrity over time.
