Rip Curl Caps

A cap is the fastest sun protection there is, and the only one you can put on with one hand. Rip Curl's caps cover the trucker, flexfit and adjustable styles that have followed surfers around car parks and coastlines for decades, shading your eyes and face with the brand's logo work sitting where it always has.

Rip Curl caps and trucker hats

Between glare off the water and sun on your face, a cap does more work on a beach day than most of what you packed.

Peaks that kill the glare

A structured peak shades your eyes from direct sun and the glare bouncing off water and sand, which is the difference between squinting all afternoon and actually seeing what you came to look at.

Trucker panels keep your head cool

Mesh rear panels on trucker styles let heat escape from your head, which makes them far more comfortable than a solid cap when it is genuinely hot and you are moving around.

Adjustable and flexfit for a proper fit

Snapback and adjustable strap styles let you set the size exactly, while flexfit caps stretch to hold a close, secure fit without a strap, which suits anyone who dislikes the band across the back.

Classic surf logo styling

The logo work is the same as it has been for years, which is precisely the point. A surf cap that looks new is a surf cap that looks wrong.

Frequently asked questions

What is a trucker cap?

A trucker cap has a structured foam or fabric front panel and mesh rear panels, originally so it stayed cool and cheap to make. The mesh means it breathes far better than a full fabric cap in hot weather.

What is the difference between flexfit and adjustable?

An adjustable cap has a strap, snap or buckle at the back and fits a wide range of heads. A flexfit cap has an elasticated band and no strap, so it stretches to your head for a cleaner look but comes in fixed size ranges.

Does a cap protect my face from the sun?

It shades your eyes, forehead and nose well, but leaves your ears and the back of your neck exposed, which is where people most often burn. On a long day in strong sun, a broad-brimmed hat covers considerably more.

How do I wash a cap?

By hand, in cool water with a little mild detergent, then reshape it and let it air dry over something round. Never put a structured cap in the washing machine or the dishwasher, both of which will destroy the peak.
