Product Insights
The Salomon Bonatti Waterproof Cap is a genuine waterproof running cap with a 2.5-layer membrane that breathes well in cool damp conditions, offering effective rain protection in drizzle to moderate rain; however, the crown wets out in sustained downpour, the untreated polyester sweatband lacks wicking or antimicrobial properties, and the elastic strap loosens after 9–10 miles with no mid-run adjustment. Despite these tradeoffs, it folds flat at 60 g and, at a sale price of 19.99 CAD, costs less than half of comparable ultralight caps.
