1. Handle with Care

CAPS LOCK ORIGINAL Drip-X hats are built to withstand outdoor conditions, but treating them gently is still vital. When handling your hat, do so with care, avoiding unnecessary tugging or bending. By maintaining a gentle touch, you'll prolong the life of your CAPS LOCK ORIGINAL hat.

2. Washing Your CAPS LOCK ORIGINAL Drip-X Hat

Regular cleaning is essential to keep your CAPS LOCK ORIGINAL water-repellent hat looking fresh and ready for adventure. While we recommend using a hat cage when washing your hat in a washing machine, there are alternative methods that have proven effective.

Using hat cage vs. not using hat cage

- Using a Hat Cage: To ensure the best results and protect your hat's shape, place it in a hat cage before tossing it in the washing machine. This prevents deformation and maintains the integrity of the hat's construction.

- Small Load Approach: If you don't have a hat cage, you can still wash your CAPS LOCK ORIGINAL water-repellent hat in a washing machine. However, it's crucial to wash it as part of a small load to prevent excessive agitation. Use a gentle cycle and cold water to minimize the risk of damage.

3. Drying Techniques

After washing, proper drying is essential to maintain your CAPS LOCK ORIGINAL water-repellent hat's water-resistant properties. Avoid using direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as these can compromise the hat's performance.

- Air Drying: The best way to dry your CAPS LOCK ORIGINAL water-repellent hat is to air dry it. Gently reshape the hat to its original form and allow it to dry naturally at room temperature. Placing it on a clean, flat surface is ideal.

We advise just air drying your hat but decided to test the air dry feature on our dryer and this is the result. Still maintained shape with no damage to hat. If you don't have air dry feature on dryer it is best to just let it air dry. If you have one of our tactical hats the care for the hook and loop is important and should never use high heat on these so it does not ruin the hook and loop (velcro).



4. Limited Exposure to the Elements

While CAPS LOCK ORIGINAL hats are designed to withstand the outdoors, minimizing extended exposure to harsh elements is still advisable. Protecting your hat from extreme conditions can extend its lifespan and keep it looking its best.
