Trucker Cap - Kokkelogo | Klær | Dalstrong ©

The mesh back is a lifesaver on sweaty grill shifts—air actually flows through instead of trapping heat. Fit is snug but not tight, and the cotton front feels sturdy after a few washes. Exactly what I needed for summer cooking.

I’ve worn this cap through a full dinner service and a long grill shift, and the 60% cotton front keeps sweat off my forehead while the mesh back lets the heat escape. The fit is snug but not tight, and it’s held its shape after a couple washes.

The strap adjusts easily even when my hands are greasy from prepping, and the cotton blend front doesn’t get that sweaty stiffness by the end of a long shift. The mesh back lets a breeze through while I’m bent over the flattop, which makes all the difference in July.
