Ciele GOCap Classic - The Industry Standard, Evolved
The GOCap Classic is where Ciele's story began, and over a decade later it remains the cap that set the standard everyone else follows. This updated version stays true to the original design philosophy whilst bringing upgraded fabrics, improved ventilation, and proper sizing options to a proven formula that's been imitated countless times but never truly duplicated.
Targeted Ventilation Where It Matters
The top panels integrate COOLmatic | PLUS MIKRAmesh™ for strategic airflow exactly where heat builds up most during the run. This lightweight, fast-drying recycled knit fabric keeps air moving across the head without compromising the cap's structure or durability. Repreve recycled Xstop ripstop woven fabric on the front and side panels brings +50 UPF sun protection alongside lightweight durability that holds up across regular training miles and repeated washing.
The Details That Make It Work
The pliable SOFTflat brim remains as packable as ever — fold it, stuff it in a pocket, and it bounces back ready to go. Reflective detailing on the Athletics logo adds visibility during early morning and evening runs when natural light is limited. The 5-panel fit now comes in two proper sizes: S/M at 56.5cm and M/L at 58cm, both adjustable to dial in the fit. Machine washable, because running caps should be easy to care for.

Is the GOCap Classic Right for You?
If you've been running long enough, you've probably seen a GOCap on someone's head. There's a reason it became the industry standard — it works. The targeted ventilation keeps your head cool without feeling like you're wearing a mesh cap, the brim protects without being stiff or cumbersome, and the thing just lasts. Now with proper sizing options, it fits the way a running cap should: secure enough to stay put, comfortable enough to forget it's there. Whether you're logging easy miles or racing in the heat, the GOCap Classic does exactly what a running cap is supposed to do.
