Papa Nui Original Ships Cap
£85.00
The Papa Nui Original Ships Cap returns by popular demand, updated from one of the earliest Papa Nui releases of the early 2000s. Known as the Atoll Defender, it is a tough coastal service cap built with the same rugged appeal that made the original a standout amongst the Beach Battalion.
The front is cut from hard-wearing HBT, paired with a bomb-proof poly mesh back and adjustable rear tab for easy warm-weather wear. Finished with an embroidered Papa Nui patch at the crown, it is available in Jungle Green Frog Skin camo or rugged OD for full atoll-ready character.
Please note: this is an adjustable one-size cap and may feel oversized on smaller 57cm head measurements. A hot wash can help tighten and improve the fit.
