Product Insights
The I.FIV5 Light Ripstop 5-Panel Cap, 9.99 CAD and currently out of stock, is a low-profile flat-crown cap in the camper/field-trip family: five panels, no center seam, a low flat forehead fit, and a boxy silhouette weighing 80–120 g versus 100–150 g for six-panel caps. Its core promise is 100% nylon ripstop grid durability: the grid arrests a snag at 5–8 mm instead of letting it run to a 30 cm tear and resists the stretching and sagging a plain-weave cap develops. It uses a bare elastic sliding strap with no cord lock or toggle, no metal to corrode and no hardware to snag hair, and it stays put during running for most wearers, sits flush under a hood or headrest, and only the elastic wears, relaxing over years without slipping mid-run. The main tradeoff is moisture: it dries fast but holds sweat in the nylon fiber rather than wicking it away, and with no mesh vents it can feel clammy once fully soaked; it is built for moderate output, with a modified quick-dry polyester shell better for heavy-sweat sports. As the Simons house label exclusive designed in Canada and part of the Simons PERFORMANCE and BALANCE in-house activewear range, it competes with rival ultralight caps that use a cord lock or toggle.

| Light Ripstop 5-Panel Cap: Choose this if you want an I.FIV5-exclusive five-panel cap in an ultra-light, breathable 100% nylon ripstop weave with a subtle grid texture and reflective sheen. It suits flat-brim styling, with a supple straight visor, open rear, and an elastic bungee cord with a plastic cord lock for adjusting fit. Note it comes only in Black in a single ONE SIZE, and the size adjustment relies on that cord rather than a traditional strap.[1,2,3] | Distressed Denim Cap: Choose this if you want an I.FIV5-exclusive denim-look cap in charcoal: it is made of 100% twill cotton with a washed, slightly faded distressed finish, frayed holes on the brim and front panel, white embroidered front text, a six-panel crown with a rigid curved brim, and a denim strap with a metallic buckle at the back. It comes in one size only, so it suits shoppers comfortable with an adjustable but single-fit cap.[4,5,6] | Centre Embroidery Golf Cap: Choose this if you want an I.FIV5 exclusive snapback with a light structured weave, rigid curved visor, and a raised chenille-style embroidered 'S' centered on the front. It is a six-panel baseball-style cap in a white crown with dark green visor and top button, made of 96% polyester and 4% elastane. It comes in a single ONE SIZE in the Green colorway, so it works best if that fit suits you.[7,8,9] |
