Is it okay to fold the hat small and put it in a pocket when taking it off while running?
When sweating or body temperature rises while running, there are times you need to take off your hat and put it in your pocket. With regular hats, one hesitates to fold and stuff them carelessly out of fear that the brim might bend or get ruined.
It is designed so you can fold the hat small and carry it conveniently, by making the brim thin and short and adding flexible material and a string.
For a runner, the weight and volume of a hat when held in the hand after taking it off are just as important as when wearing it on the head. This is because when body temperature rises during a run, it is common to quickly shove the hat into a running belt or pants pocket. The ICE LITE Pacers running cap from PLAKNIT takes into account the movement of the moment you take off and store your hat.
It is light. To shed weight, the front brim has been refined to be thin and short[1]. Inside the brim of a typical cap, a hard, stiff core is inserted to hold the shape, but because of this hardness, if the brim bends, it is difficult to restore it to its original state. In contrast, a thin, short brim not only reduces the overall weight of the hat, but also helps it receive less wind resistance[2].
Storage is also convenient. By using a flexible material that bends pliably and adding a string detail, it is made so you can easily fold and store it however your hands move[3]. Instead of holding a stiff shape, it has a structure where the form folds softly, so even if you roll it up small and put it in a pocket or a gap in your bag after taking it off while running, there is no burden of the shape getting bent[4].
hmmm, it is a build that pays attention to hand movements so you can thrust the hat into your pocket without breaking your running rhythm.
We have not yet confirmed the specific operating method of the string that secures the hat when folded or its volume when fully folded.
