Loosing its elasticity: becomes too large
I really liked this cap at first, but over time it became too large, and the adjustment strap went completely slack even at its tightest setting. The stretchy softshell fabric lost its elasticity, and the adjustment band at the back did the same. Now I can’t wear it when it’s even slightly windy—I’ve had to chase after it many times! There’s no adjustment left, and the strap is always sticking out, which bothers me because it constantly touches the back of my neck. That ribbon should never have been made from a stretch material that loses its elasticity.

Hello Benoît, thank you for sharing your experience with the Gamma 5 Panel Cap. We’re glad to hear it was a good fit at first, but we’re sorry that the adjustment strap and softshell fabric lost their elasticity over time, making the cap uncomfortable and less functional in windy conditions. We understand how frustrating it is when design details like the back strap don’t hold up, especially when they affect both comfort and usability. Your feedback about the choice of materials and the strap design is valuable, and we’ll ensure it’s passed along to our product team as we continue to refine future iterations.

Hello there, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Gamma 5 Panel Cap. It’s great to hear that the comfort and breathability are working well for you. At the same time, it’s completely understandable to feel surprised when the color doesn’t match what you expected, especially when ordering a specific shade like light purple. The note about it appearing more grey is genuinely appreciated and will be shared with the team, as accurate color representation is important for helping guests choose the right piece. Your feedback truly helps us improve.
