Product Overview
The Breathable Sun Shield Cap is a specialised piece of headwear designed to provide essential protection for professionals working in exposed outdoor environments. Constructed from a lightweight, high-performance fabric, this cap addresses the dual needs of solar protection and thermal comfort. The design features a prominent rear sunshade to protect the neck and reflective piping to enhance wearer visibility during low-light conditions.
Key Features
- Integrated Sunshade: Provides comprehensive coverage for the back of the neck, shielding a vulnerable area from direct sunlight and reducing the risk of heat-related discomfort.
- Reflective Piping: Improves safety on site by ensuring the wearer is more visible to colleagues and vehicle operators in dim light.
- Adjustable Toggle and Bungee Cord: Allows for a secure and customised fit, ensuring the cap remains stable even in windy conditions.
- Breathable Construction: The lightweight fabric facilitates airflow, helping to regulate head temperature during physically demanding tasks.
Design & Performance
Engineered from 100% Nylon, this cap is built for durability without the burden of excess weight. The choice of nylon ensures the garment is resilient enough for daily use on a busy worksite while maintaining a flexible, comfortable feel. The fabric's lightweight nature is particularly beneficial for long shifts under the sun, as it allows moisture to evaporate more efficiently than heavier traditional cotton alternatives. The structured peak provides reliable shade for the eyes, maintaining clear vision throughout the day.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This cap is an excellent candidate for corporate branding, supporting both print and embroidery. Embroidery is the preferred choice for a superior, professional finish, ideal for company logos or staff names that need to withstand the rigours of outdoor work. For larger, more graphic designs, our high-quality printing process ensures bold and clear results. Every customisation project is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting garment branding since MyWorkwear was established in 1976.
Use Cases
This garment is specifically designed for outdoor workers, including groundskeepers, surveyors, site managers, and delivery personnel. It is an essential addition to any summer workwear kit where workers are frequently exposed to the elements for extended periods.

Practical Advice
For the best fit, use the bungee cord to adjust the tension so the cap feels secure without being tight. If you are working in high-glare environments, ensure the peak is pulled low to maximise eye protection. The sunshade should be checked regularly to ensure it is lying flat against the neck for maximum coverage.
Caring for your product
To maintain the protective features and professional appearance of this cap, specific care is required to avoid damaging the technical fabrics and branding.
This product must be hand washed. Machine washing can lead to the structural deformation of the peak and may cause the reflective piping to peel or crack over time.
Do not bleach the garment. The use of bleach will rapidly degrade the 100% Nylon fibres and cause significant fading to the navy colour, which will negatively affect the clarity of your custom logo.
The cap should be line dried and must not be tumble dried. High heat from a dryer can cause the nylon to shrink and may permanently warp the shape of the cap and its sunshade.
Do not iron this product. The high temperature of an iron will melt the synthetic nylon material and can destroy any printed or embroidered branding, making the cap unwearable.
