Product Insights
The Gocap Century Ultra-Soft 5-Panel Cap, from Ciele, descends from the 2014 GOCap that created the soft-brim running cap category. Its design borrows from 90s skateboarding, rejecting the baseball cap aesthetic. The cap is lightweight, fast-drying, UPF 50+, and backed by a million-mile guarantee, yet it fits small for larger heads, and its flat, straight visor cannot be deeply curved. Ultrarunners endorse it for breathability and odor control, and it became official headgear for major marathons within a year. Owners of multiple caps rotate them based on activity, and the earthy colorways encourage collection.
- Origin
Descendant of the 2014 GOCap that created the soft-brim running cap category.
Why this is supported
The Century cap inherits from the GOCap, which Ciele launched as its single product on August 15, 2014.
the brand launches today, 15 August 2014, with a single product: the GoCap.
coolhunting.comWithin a year, that design was adopted as official headgear for two major running events.
Only a year after launching its original GOCap, Ciele was the official headgear for two big running events in Toronto: the annual Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon and Bridge the Gap.
edc.caThis pioneering cap was soon emulated by major athletic brands, including Nike, Adidas, Reebok, New Balance, and Asics.
Nike now makes a variety of familiar-looking five-panel, flat-brimmed caps. So do Adidas, Reebok, New Balance and Asics.
thelogic.coThe design's influence is so strong that a competitor's similar cap was described as a direct rip-off.
Fractel has been ripping off Ciele since day one.
u/Tricky_Egg958 in r/runningfashionThis chain of events confirms the GOCap as the originator of the soft-brim running cap category and places the Century model in that lineage.
- Design influence
Design borrows from 90s skateboarding, rejecting baseball cap aesthetic.
Why this is supported
The cap's design heritage is grounded in 1990s skateboarding culture.
Their five-panel construction and flat bills were born from 90s-era skateboarding, when ‘boarders had an aversion to the baseball cap and its sporty pretensions.
thelogic.coThis skate-inspired silhouette gave the cap a distinctive look that crossed over from running to everyday and gorpcore wear, reinforcing its identity as a non-traditional athletic cap.

Reddit users consistently praise the cap's lightweight, fast-drying, and UPF 50+ qualities.

are a bit small if you are like myself and have a huge head :-(
u/D00D00M4N in r/runningSimilarly, the product's Q&A page warns:
The hats tend to run small, so they may not fit well if you have a larger head size.
What is the sizing like for larger heads?Even with stretch fabric and adjustable strapback, the cap remains too small for many above-average head circumferences.
- Breathability
Ultrarunners endorse the cap for staying breathable and lightweight on hot runs.
Why this is supported
Ultrarunners consistently praise the cap's ability to remain lightweight and breathable.

u/Cuber_Chris in r/ultrarunningOne user noted a trade-off:
The fastcap has a bit more wicking material. That said the gocap actually ended up fitting me better
u/Raceon4 in r/runningindicating that despite a comparative lack of wicking material, the GOCap is still highly breathable. The cap was originally designed for the founder's 8km run-commute, ensuring real-world performance.
It all started when Jeremy Bresnen couldn’t find the right running cap for his eight-kilometre run-commute to work.
edc.caCombined with its ultra-lightweight 50g construction and packable design, the cap is widely considered a top choice for hot-weather running.

- Copycat claims

Long-term users remain loyal to the original GOCap. One Reddit user shared:

u/Formidable604 in r/runningfashionA user on r/ultrarunning mentioned:

u/Cuber_Chris in r/ultrarunningTogether, these signal strong confidence in the cap's longevity.
- Model naming
Gocap Century's name: no 'SC' means straight bill; 'Gocap' means longer bill.
Why this is supported
For Ciele caps, the naming codes are well-documented:
if on the Ciele website, it says SC in the name then that means the bill is curved.
u/PantryParking in r/gorpcoreConversely, no SC means a straight bill. Additionally, the base model distinguishes bill length: 'GoCap' indicates a longer bill while 'AlzCap' is shorter:
GoCap has a longer bill, Alz is shorter.
u/PantryParking in r/gorpcoreThe Gocap Century name follows these rules: it lacks SC (consistent with a straight visor) and is a GoCap model (thus a longer bill). The naming system, albeit often called confusing—
damn their naming nomenclature sucks.
u/PantryParking in r/gorpcore—does provide this differentiating information.
- Wash durability
UPF 50+, reflective, and antimicrobial features withstand regular washing.
Why this is supported
The brand confirms that
UPF 50+ protection is designed to remain effective after multiple washes
Does the UPF 50+ protection remain effective after multiple washes?and that
reflective elements are integrated into the fabric and designed to withstand regular washing without losing effectiveness.

antimicrobial treatments built into the REPREVE® polyester fibers, not a separate coating.
How does the odor elimination technology work—is it antimicrobial treatment integrated into the fabric or a separate coating?. A runner corroborates that hand washing does not degrade the hat's performance:
I do hand wash them but they don't smell for a long time even after they get drenched with sweat.

- Fit and moisture
Buyers report the GoCap fits better and the FastCap wicks more.
Why this is supported
Runners note that the FastCap has a bit more wicking material, but
the gocap actually ended up fitting me better
u/Raceon4 in r/runningThe brand's FAQ confirms:
The FastCap has more wicking material, while the GoCap fits some people better
What is the difference between the GoCap and FastCap models?This trade-off is a common point of comparison.
- Product rotation
Owners of both caps rotate between them based on activity.
Why this is supported
One owner with both caps says:
I rotate through all three.
u/Raceon4 in r/runningThis suggests the caps are complementary rather than mutually exclusive.
- Color and logo
Two earth-tone colorways (Copper/Rust and Navy/Midnight Blue) plus limited-edition drops and small-logo models.
Why this is supported
The cap comes in two earth-tone colorways, Copper/Rust and Navy/Midnight Blue. Reddit users in r/ultrarunning call them
Rad colors

u/PantryParking in r/gorpcore. Ciele frequently releases limited-edition colorways that the community trades and collects, adding collectibility.
- Brim shape
Flat, straight visor maintains a skate-style silhouette and cannot be deeply curved.
Why this is supported
The Century’s flat, straight visor is designed to stay flat, maintaining a skate-inspired silhouette. The Logic reports that
Their five-panel construction and flat bills were born from 90s-era skateboarding
thelogic.coThis means the brim cannot be deeply curved—a tradeoff for those preferring a traditional baseball cap curve.
- Everyday care
Buyers report the cap stays odor-free after heavy sweat and machine washes well.
Why this is supported
The cap is designed for daily use: it’s ultra-lightweight, packable, machine washable, and anti-odor. One buyer reports:
Lightweight, fast drying, breathable, UPF +40. Packable, machine washable, guaranteed for 1 million miles.
u/Cuber_Chris in r/ultrarunningAnother user notes that the anti-odor performance is sustained:
they don't smell for a long time even after they get drenched with sweat
u/Raceon4 in r/runningThis is achieved through integrated fabric technology:
The odor elimination is integrated directly into the fabric through the COOLmatic and MIKRAmesh® technology
How does the odor elimination technology work—is it antimicrobial treatment integrated into the fabric or a separate coating?making it low-maintenance for everyday wear.
- Packability
Stuffs flat into a pocket and springs back; withstands repeated packing.
Why this is supported

while no SC in the name means the bill should be straight
u/PantryParking in r/gorpcoreTogether, these details confirm the cap's skateboarding heritage.
- Originator
Ciele originated the five-panel flat-brim cap, later copied by Nike and others.
Why this is supported

Ciele hat design features and naming explained
Hey this is months later but the real answer is, if on the Ciele website, it says SC in the name then that means the bill is curved. I’m not sure if you can go full dad cap, but it’s neutral is at least a small curve, while no SC in the name means the bill should be straight. GoCap has a longer bill, Alz is shorter. I love their AlzCap, specifically the ones with the small logos, but damn their naming nomenclature sucks.
