Patagonia ULW Ridge Hat (Light Violet)

The ULW Ridge Hat by Patagonia is an ultralight technical cap for high-intensity activities on warm days. Whether you’re trail running, fast hiking, or traveling, this Patagonia cap provides reliable sun protection without weighing you down. In characteristic Patagonia fashion, the focus is clearly on function and sustainable materials.

The visor and front panel of the ULW Ridge Hat are made from recycled polyester stretch rip-stop with a PFC- / PFAS-free DWR finish that sheds wind and light rain while remaining pleasantly soft. Weighing in at just under forty grams, the cap feels almost weightless on your head. Laser-perforated panels over the crown and sides allow heat to escape immediately, keeping this Patagonia design noticeably breathable even on long climbs. The flexible NetPlus® visor made from recycled fishing nets is bluesign™-approved and produced in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.

Inside, a low-profile, moisture-wicking double-knit sweatband made from recycled polyester keeps things dry and helps regulate temperature. The elastic adjustment at the back makes the ULW Ridge Hat quick to dial in and secure even at a sprint, without creating pressure points. The dark underside of the visor reduces glare on scree slopes, near water, or in the city.

With its clean, two-tone look and fine perforation details, the Patagonia ULW Ridge Hat brings a functional, modern streetwear vibe to any kit. This lightweight cap disappears easily into a backpack or jacket pocket and is ready for use again in no time. From daily runs to weekend mountain missions to summer city adventures, this Patagonia cap goes wherever minimal pack size and maximum performance are required.
