Product Insights
The North Face Breathable Ripstop Cap combines a lightweight WWII-origin ripstop weave that arrests tears at 5–8mm intervals, turning snags into pinholes, with open zones for air circulation. Its rigid front panel keeps the logo flat and distortion-free, a detail typical of higher-quality caps, while the adjustable snapback fits 55–61 cm. At 19.99 CAD — about 60% below the brand's average cap price — it offers the same ripstop fabric and construction as pricier TNF caps, but trades off dedicated wicking for basic moisture management via inner sweatband and breathable fabric.
