The running cap that doesn't look like one
Most technical running caps announce themselves – all mesh panels, bold logos and the unmistakable air of someone who tracks their splits. The GOCap EQ takes a different line entirely. On the outside it's TUFFtek canvas: structured, understated, the kind of cap you'd reach for on a Saturday morning without a second thought about whether it looks too sports-specific for a coffee stop afterwards. Underneath that composed exterior, though, it's doing everything you'd want from a performance cap – COOLmatic PLUS MIKRAmesh across the panels managing heat and moisture, UPF sun protection built into the fabric, and a pliable SOFTflat brim that sits just right without needing any coaxing into shape. Reflective details earn their keep when the light drops. The result is a cap that genuinely works on a long run and looks equally at home on the walk home – which, let's face it, is usually how the best kit earns its keep.

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.
