Maap and New Era with Polartec Neoshell
Don’t underestimate the level of technology that can be used to create a hat!
Since 1920, New Era has been producing caps, fantastic caps. Since 2014, Maap has been producing top of the range cycling apparel distributed globally. Combining Polartec technology, New Era and Maap have together created a premium cycling cap designed to be protected from the rain thanks to Polartec Neoshell fabric.
After the success of Maap’s first collaboration with New Era (the Stealth Performance Cap) Maap wanted to see what more could be done with New Era. The answer? The Maap x New Era Prime rain cap. Using Polartec NeoShell fabric, this cap offers waterproof protection with exceptional breathability. In fact, Polartec NeoShell is the most breathable waterproof fabric in the world. Perfect for adverse weather conditions, this accessory features heat-sealed and taped seams, reflective graphics and an elasticated inner band for maximum comfort.
Craig Coetsee, Maap Design Manager says: “Partnering with Polartec, who are well known for being a leader in high performance sustainable textile solutions, and New Era, synonymous with premium and cool hats, was an easy decision for us as a design team. Each company with their own expertise brings something unique and together they fit like the perfect puzzle piece. This highly breathable cap provides continuous airflow offering better thermoregulation, repels water, is lightweight and dries quickly; striking the right balance between innovation and classic workmanship.”
