A
good running cap is a good investment. Whether it’s blazing hot or briskly
cool, running caps can protect your noggin from the sun’s harmful UV rays,
provide shade for your face and eyes on bright days, provide warmth during the
colder months, or add a reflective safety element when you’re running in the
evening. Heck, they even make a good place to store your sunglasses temporarily
without the lenses getting all sweaty or misted up on top of your head. So
check out all these great caps and peaks and then go get the one that catches
your fancy.
