Portable Durable Storage Bag for Baseball Cap Hat

A cap that's been sat on never comes back.

You pack for a week away and the cap goes in flat on top of the duffel. Then the esky goes on top of that. You pull it out at the other end with a fold across the peak and the crown pressed out of shape, and no amount of steam puts it back. It is not a disaster — it is just a cap you liked, wrecked in transit, and now you are wearing it looking like that for the rest of the trip.

This is a moulded carry case shaped around a peaked cap. The shell holds its own form, so the load sits on the case rather than on your caps. It shuts with a zip that runs the full way round, and it carries by a fixed webbing handle on top or by a detachable shoulder strap.

It measures 310 mm high, 240 mm wide and 130 mm deep on the outside — that is the supplier's own figure off the artwork, and it is the only measurement they publish. Everything else in the table below that we could not source is marked as such rather than guessed at.

What It Does

• Takes the load: the moulded shell is the thing being squashed in the boot or the overhead locker, not the caps sitting inside it.
• Keeps a stack together: caps nest peak into crown inside the shell instead of being spread through three different bags.
• Carries two ways: a webbing handle on top for a short walk, or clip the strap on and wear it across your body.
• Vents rather than seals: metal eyelets punched through the moulded panel let a damp cap breathe instead of sitting shut in still air.
• Keeps the dust off: a full-perimeter zip closes the case properly, which matters more than most people expect on a dirt road.
• Stores as well as travels: it stands on a shelf or in a wardrobe and keeps its shape while it is doing nothing.

Key Features

• Moulded semi-rigid shell: holds its shape empty, formed to a cap crown with a recess for the peak.
• External size 310 × 240 × 130 mm: height, width and depth, as stated on the supplier dimension panel.
• Full-perimeter zip: runs the whole way round the case so it opens flat like a clamshell.
• Fixed webbing carry handle: sewn to the top edge with a moulded grip over the webbing.
• Detachable shoulder strap: plain webbing with a swivel snap hook at each end and a slide adjuster.
• Metal strap rings: a ring at each top corner takes the snap hooks, so the strap comes off completely.
• Vent eyelets: metal eyelets set through the moulded panel rather than open mesh.
• Fabric-finished outer: a woven outer face over the moulded form, in camouflage or plain black.
• Two colourways: camouflage and black — both are on the buy button, nothing else is offered.
• Nothing to assemble: unzip it, put your caps in, done.

It sits alongside the rest of the Hats, Caps and Helmets range if you are after something to put in it.

Limits

Here is what this case will not do. Straight up, so there are no surprises when the box lands.

• It will not take a wide-brim hat: the shell is 240 mm across at its widest point. Anything with a brim wider than that is not going in, and an Akubra-style felt hat is not going in flat. This is a case for peaked caps.
• No published cap count: the supplier does not state how many caps it holds and there is no figure on the artwork. The photographs show a stack of roughly three to four slim cotton caps in the 130 mm depth. A structured cap with a stiff foam front sits taller, so you will fit fewer.
• It is not waterproof and there is no rating: no IP figure or water-resistance rating is published, and the vent eyelets are open holes straight through the shell. Treat it as dust and knock protection, not weather protection, and do not leave it out in the rain.
• No internal dividers or straps: the inside is a plain moulded cavity. Nothing holds the caps in position, so if you carry it half empty they will slide about.
• Shell material is not stated: the supplier publishes no material for the shell or the lining. We can describe what it looks like — a moulded semi-rigid form with a woven outer — but we are not going to name a plastic we have not had confirmed.
• No crush rating exists: the word durable is in the product title and it is doing a number's job. There is no load or crush figure behind it. It is a moulded case, not an armoured one, and a boot lid slammed on it will still mark it.

Q & A

How many caps will it actually hold?

The honest answer is that the supplier does not say, and we are not going to make a number up. What we can tell you is the internal cavity sits inside a case 130 mm deep, and the supplier's own photographs show a stack of about three to four slim, unstructured caps. Stiff-fronted trucker and structured caps take up more room each, so expect fewer of those. If a precise count is the deciding factor for you, this is not a spec that exists.

Will it fit a bucket hat or a wide-brim?

A wide-brim, no. The shell is 240 mm across at its widest and it is moulded to a cap crown with a recess for the peak, so a brim any wider than that will not sit in it. A soft bucket hat can be squashed in because it has no structure to protect, but the case is not shaped for one and it will not hold its form for you.

Is it waterproof?

No, and we are not going to call it water resistant either, because nothing is published to stand that up. There is no IP or water rating from the supplier, and the vent eyelets are open holes through the shell, so water that lands on it has somewhere to go. It is dust and knock protection. Keep it out of the rain.

What are the outside dimensions?

310 mm high, 240 mm wide and 130 mm deep. That is the supplier's stated figure from their dimension panel. The internal dimensions are not published, so the usable space is a little under those numbers once you allow for the shell thickness.

Does the shoulder strap come off?

Yes. It is a separate webbing strap with a swivel snap hook at each end, and it clips to a metal ring at each top corner. Unclip both ends and you are left carrying it by the handle on top. The strap is adjustable on a slide buckle, but the supplier does not publish a length range.

What colours can I actually buy?

Two: camouflage and black. Those are the only options on the buy button and there are no others hiding behind a sold-out label. The camouflage is a printed woven finish over the same moulded shell as the black.

How long will it take to get here?

Allow 10 to 14 days from the day you place the order, and up to three weeks if you are regional or remote. Delivery is free to Australia and New Zealand.
