VÅGA Pacer Running Cap – Ultralight Performance for Road, Trail & Adventure
Lightweight, packable and built to perform, the VÅGA Pacer Running Cap is a versatile five-panel sports cap designed for runners and outdoor adventurers who want protection without unnecessary weight.
Made from 100% nylon, the Pacer combines an ultralight construction with a water-resistant finish, helping provide protection when conditions change. Its signature VÅGA short peak features a flexible E.V.A. soft core, allowing the cap to pack down easily into a running vest, pocket or backpack when you don't need it.
An open-pore, high-wicking padded headband helps manage sweat during harder efforts, while VÅGA's fast-adjust elastic drawcord system provides a quick, secure fit on the move.
From fast road sessions and race day to technical trails, hiking and everyday adventures, the VÅGA Pacer is designed to go wherever you do.
Ultralight Running Cap Built for Performance
When you're racing or moving fast, you don't want heavy, bulky headwear.
The VÅGA Pacer has been designed as an ultralight performance running cap, providing coverage while keeping weight and bulk to a minimum.
Its five-panel construction creates a comfortable athletic fit that's equally suited to short, high-intensity sessions and long-distance days on the trail.
Water-Resistant Protection
Changing weather is part of running outdoors.
The water-resistant nylon construction provides an additional layer of protection against light rain and moisture, making the Pacer a versatile choice when the forecast isn't completely predictable.
It's particularly useful for trail running, hiking and racing where conditions can change quickly.
Packable VÅGA Short Peak
The signature VÅGA short peak features a flexible E.V.A. soft core, giving you useful coverage without the rigid construction of a traditional cap.
Its flexible design means the Pacer can be easily packed into your:
- Running vest
- Shorts pocket
- Hiking pack
- Drop bag
- Travel bag
When conditions change, simply stash it away and keep moving.
High-Wick Headband for Sweaty Sessions
Hard efforts generate plenty of heat and sweat, particularly when running in Australian conditions.
The Pacer features an open-pore padded high-wick headband designed to manage moisture while providing soft comfort around the forehead.
Whether you're racing, tackling hill repeats or spending a long day on the trail, it's designed to help keep you comfortable when the intensity rises.
Fast-Adjust Elastic Drawcord
Getting the right fit shouldn't slow you down.
The elastic drawcord adjustment system allows quick fit changes, making it easy to secure the cap before or during your run.
The simple design also keeps unnecessary hardware and bulk to a minimum, complementing the Pacer's lightweight performance focus.
