The best gear always comes from people who actually use it. VAGA was born in the Lake District after one too many soggy fell runs in caps that either fell apart after one race season or felt like wearing a plastic bag on your head. Founded by runners who wanted performance headwear that could handle all weathers, VAGA has quietly built a reputation for caps that do exactly what they're supposed to: keep the sun off, the sweat away, and stay put when you're moving fast.

Like most elite athletes, they’re obsessed with marginal gains. When it comes to design, that means getting the tiniest details right. Every cap is designed with input from runners who've clocked thousands of miles in brutal conditions. The result is a range that spans ultralight racing caps for when every gram counts, all-weather options for when the Lakes are doing their worst, and lifestyle pieces for when you're off the trails but still want something that looks the part. No gimmicks, no unnecessary tech – just well-made headwear that works as hard as you do, whether you're chasing PBs or relaxing post-race.
