The low-profile cap built for race day and beyond
Not everyone wants a five-panel cap sitting high on their head. The FSTCap SC Classic is Ciele's answer for runners who prefer a lower, closer fit – the kind of cap that feels like it's barely there once you're moving, which is the whole point when you're deep into a race or grinding out a long effort on a warm afternoon. The front panel and brim are built from Xstop ripstop woven fabric, delivering UPF 40+ sun protection and the kind of durability that holds up to regular use without losing its shape. COOLmatic PLUS MIKRAmesh on the top panels keeps airflow moving and handles the wicking and odour management when you're working hard. The SOFTcurved brim is pre-shaped for a consistent, comfortable fit without any pressure points, and the quick-adjust closure means dialling in the fit takes about two seconds. Reflective front logo earns its place on the dawn runs.

Everybody run. That's the rallying cry behind Ciele Athletics – but don't be fooled into thinking this gear is just for race-day regulars. Whether you're chasing a PB, catching a train, or wandering the city on a sun-soaked afternoon, Ciele's kit is built for movement, made to last, and designed to go wherever the day takes you. Founded in Montreal by Jeremy Bresnen and Mike Giles – two veterans of the outdoor industry – Ciele started with a single idea: that headwear could be better. Way better. As keen runners, they were sick of saggy cotton caps and lazily-designed headwear. So they built something smarter – gear that looked good, performed brilliantly, and could stand up to serious use.
Since 2014, Ciele has gone from cult favourite to everyday staple. Their signature caps have become a fixture on trails, tracks, pavements and platforms – trusted by marathon elites, weekend wanderers, roamers, commuters and creatives alike. They've since expanded into a full range of technical wear, but headwear remains their beating heart.
And it's not just good kit. Every single cap is made using recycled materials. They're a long-time certified B Corp too, meaning they're building a business that balances profit with purpose – committed to people and the planet as much as performance.
