C9 Cap
Description
What makes it special?
The design team at Houdini felt that they were missing a product for those activities when a regular baseball cap would be too heavy or clunky. They found the perfect performance fabric and the C9 Cap was born. The C9 cap will keep your head dry, cool and shaded but you won’t even know you are wearing it.
How does it work?
C9 Cap is made from C9 Ripstop, an ultra light, cool and highly breathable fabric. It’s made from 100% recycled and recyclable polyester, eliminating the concept of waste. It’s treated with a biobased durable water repellent free from any PFAS or other toxic chemicals. Despite the light fabric, this cap is both wind- and water resistant. It dries very quickly and will shade your head from direct sunlight.
When should I use it?
Are you looking for a versatile cap to keep your head away from the sun during water sports or other high intensity activities? Liquid Light Cap is the answer, and the durable design will keep you comfortable for many years to come. It is perfect for running, hiking, kayaking or beach volleyball. Strap it tight and you could even wear it when you go surfing.
C9 Cap is made from recycled fibers and recyclable fibers and we kindly ask you to return it to us when it’s completely worn out. We have recycle units in all our own stores and many retailers.

Care instructions
Synthetic materials
When washing clothes made of synthetic fabrics, the use of a washing bag becomes even more important: It prevents microplastics from entering into rivers and oceans.
- Air clothes instead of washing to save water, energy and to make the garments last longer.
- Use a washing bag to protect your garments and to prevent fibers from leaking. When cleaning the bag and filter in the machine, make sure to wipe it clean and throw the lint in your trash can. Never rinse it in water since we don’t want the fibers to end up in lakes or oceans.
- Machine wash, max 30 °C/86 °F.
- Use mild environmentally certified detergents and make sure to use the right dose.
- Avoid fabric softener. Besides being harmful for our environment, they have a negative impact on the garment performance, mainly moisture transportation and breathability.
- Tumble dry on low heat.
- Iron on low heat.
Sustainability
Circular
The Circular label means that this product is made either from recycled and recyclable or renewable and biodegradable fibers. Most products in today's society are made in a linear lifecycle, where earth's resources are extracted, used and then discarded. This is not working in the long run and comes at a great environmental impact. Instead, we want to close the loop and reuse the material we already have. But we need your help. When your Houdini garments are completely worn out, please return them to us through the recycling units we have in all our own stores and at many retailers.
Recycled
The Recycled label means that this garment contains at least 50% recycled fibers (often more, see product description). The source is either recycled clothes or other sources like PET bottles. We mainly use recycled polyester, which has many benefits. It reduces both CO2 emissions and water use compared to virgin polyester. How much depends on the type of recycling. One of our suppliers show 32% less CO2 emissions and 94% less water use for mechanically recycled polyester. Besides the production impact, the major shift is using "waste" as raw material instead of crude oil.
Recyclable
The Recyclable label means that the raw material in this product can be used for new products, instead of becoming waste. Our goal is that by 2030, we will take no raw material to our products from the earth's crust. Circular products, made from reycled and recyclable materials are a real game changer, but we need your help for the system to work. When your Houdini garments are completely worn out, please return them to us. We have recycle units in all of our own stores and at many retailers.
