How to measure your head for a better performance cap fit
Sixty seconds with a soft tape solves most fit problems before they start.
The number one reason a performance cap feels wrong isn't the hat. It's the head measurement. Or the lack of one.
The method
- Take a soft tape measure. Not a rigid one.
- Wrap it around your head roughly 1 cm above your ears and eyebrows — the widest point.
- Keep the tape snug but not compressed. It should sit flat against the skin.
- Note the number in centimeters.
How NOGNS sizes map
- APEX Hydro (one adjustable size) — 56–61 cm (22–24 in)
Between sizes?
The APEX Hydro adjusts across its range, so there is no sizing up or down: dial in the closure until the cap sits snug without pressure.
