ALZCap Athletics Small - Cosmos

Ciele Athletics was founded in Montreal in 2014 by Jeremy Bresnen (formerly Head Designer at Orage) and Mike Giles, with a single product: the GOCap, a five-panel running hat with UPF-rated knit front panels, COOLmatic mesh at the back, and a soft packable SOFTflat brim. One factory order of 1,400 caps in nine colourways became the cultural artefact of a generation of runners — more than a million Ciele caps later, the brand has expanded head-to-toe, but the cap is still the centre of gravity. Colour-first, UPF-engineered, inclusive by design — #everybodyrun, #toutlemondecourt.

The ALZCap is Ciele's small-fit running cap — a 5-panel built on a 56.5 cm starting fit, weighing just 49 g, with increased COOLmatic mesh and a lower, more tailored profile than the GOCap. Same UPF +40 sun protection, same SOFTflat pliable brim, same 100% recycled polyester main fabric — just cut closer to the head for runners who want less cap in the wind.

This is the Cosmos colourway — part of Ciele's seasonal colour story.
