The verdict
The ALZCap is a scaled-down GOCap: the same five-panel idea with a slightly smaller crown and a lower, more fitted profile. Ciele makes it for runners who find the GOCap sits a touch high or loose.
Most versions use Ciele's light, quick-drying COOLwick or COOLmatic fabrics, and they share the pliable brim, UPF 40+ panels and reflective trim of the bigger caps. It is light and airy enough to suit hot days and long efforts.
Pick it over the GOCap if you have a smaller head or want a neater fit. The FSTCap is lower still and cut for racing, while the TRLCap goes the other way with a taller crown.
“The summer cap: so airy you forget you're wearing it.”
