Most caps are built from one material and asked to do everything. Ciele's approach with the MRPH is more considered than that – take TUFFtek canvas, known for its durability and clean structured look, and morph it with FLEXweave recycled polyester to get the best of both in a single cap. Where the TUFFtek brings shape, texture and all-day resilience, the FLEXweave adds the kind of adaptive feel that makes a cap comfortable to wear properly hard rather than just looking the part on a café run. COOLmatic PLUS MIKRAmesh takes care of the ventilation and wicking duties throughout, drawing heat away from your head when you're working and keeping things fresh when you're not. UPF sun protection, a pliable SOFTflat brim and reflective detailing round things out. It sits at an interesting middle ground in the Ciele range – more technical than a pure canvas cap, more understated than a full performance model – and that's precisely the point.
Everybody run. That's the rallying cry behind Ciele Athletics – but don't be fooled into thinking this gear is just for race-day regulars. Whether you're chasing a PB, catching a train, or wandering the city on a sun-soaked afternoon, Ciele's kit is built for movement, made to last, and designed to go wherever the day takes you. Founded in Montreal by Jeremy Bresnen and Mike Giles – two veterans of the outdoor industry – Ciele started with a single idea: that headwear could be better. Way better. As keen runners, they were sick of saggy cotton caps and lazily-designed headwear. So they built something smarter – gear that looked good, performed brilliantly, and could stand up to serious use.
Since 2014, Ciele has gone from cult favourite to everyday staple. Their signature caps have become a fixture on trails, tracks, pavements and platforms – trusted by marathon elites, weekend wanderers, roamers, commuters and creatives alike. They've since expanded into a full range of technical wear, but headwear remains their beating heart.
And it's not just good kit. Every single cap is made using recycled materials. They're a long-time certified B Corp too, meaning they're building a business that balances profit with purpose – committed to people and the planet as much as performance.
