FL131 Baseball Cap

Our interpretation of headwear for fashion-conscious pilots and flight athletes - thought through to the last detail

Flying is (extreme) sport. As a glider pilot you are dependent on the energy of the sun, but you still have to protect yourself from harmful UV radiation. On board of a powered aircraft you are often exposed to the sun for hours as well– extreme conditions in FL131 above the clouds.

We therefore know from experience: the basic equipment for every pilot is head covering and sunglasses. It's not for nothing that many flight schools and clubs say "Only board with a cap"!

• The shorter peak offers sufficient sun protection, but does not limit the field of vision
• Thanks to the low weight and the ventilation holes you keep a cool head in the cockpit and on the ground
• The color "cloudbase grey" and the matt fabric reduce reflections in the cockpit glazing
• We deliberately omitted a button so that canopy and head remain okay if the seat belts were not tightened sufficiently in turbulent weather. A button would also be uncomfortable when wearing a headset.
• The size of the cap can be adjusted so that it stays even in a strong gust where it belongs - on your head!
