- What people are saying
- Hosts consistently praise the lightweight feel, sweat-wicking, airflow, and durability across multi-year, multi-terrain use. One caveat: the rear adjuster slips out frequently, making it awkward to wear backwards.

Grant Colligan's review
The Trail Team classic logo on a white Ciele GoCap is the perfect combo. Hat is great in the heat, the large size is rather deep allowing for a lot of ice to stay on your head without flying out.

I’m using an earlier, discontinued version, called the ALZ cap, but they seem very comparable to the new, smaller version of the Go cap.
