The Papa Nui Apollo Cap is the centrepiece of the Atoll Rocket Riders collection. The members of the USS Papa Nui crew were involved in the task of recovering capsules upon earth re-entry. When the hatches were opened each astronaut was handed a commemorative cap and the Apollo Cap is an exacting copy of this ready for you to own. Perhaps the finest cap ever released to the market, with unrivalled attention to detail and quality of construction. Constructed from Royal Blue Melton Wool with a yellow crafted Papa Nui patch, the cap is finished with an anti-glare Billiard Green under-visor and military-grade Olive Drab Herringbone Twill inside panel.
