Gear-S
The technical recycled polyester baseball cap with the 3D weave you notice before the logo. GRS certified on every component: rPET twill, recycled buckram and sweatband, ReTraze® visor. Ideal for front embroidery on a flat panel with no centre seam — up to 12×6 cm. Optimal for automotive, sports and tech brands with ESG targets — 4 shades: white, black, navy, red. One size.
We analyze it like an editorial team would. We don't sell it.
The Gear-S answers a precise question: the Gear, but certified. The dual-material cotton-polyester model has the motorsport identity but cannot obtain single-material certifications; the Gear-S solves it by going fully GRS recycled polyester — twill on the crown, technical 3D-effect weave on front panel and visor (95% rPET, 5% elastane), recycled buckram, recycled sweatband and ReTraze® visor. The carbon footprint is declared under ISO 14067: 0.600 kg CO2eq, 15% less than the virgin-material equivalent. Not a claim: a verifiable figure.
The 5-panel construction is the operational advantage for printing: the front panel is flat and has no centre seam, with recycled buckram providing the rigid base. Embroidery reaches 12×6 cm without interruptions — ideal for horizontal logos and lettering — and the same continuous surface serves screen printing and patches. The 5% elastane on the front requires calibrated pressure in DTF; the 3D weave creates a textured background that makes patches and raised embroidery stand out.
It is the natural choice for automotive, tech and sports brands that must answer ESG targets without giving up a technical aesthetic: the 3D weave works in place of the logo. It is not the right product for anyone seeking a wide palette — four essential shades are the whole offer — nor for those wanting the original Gear's miniottoman carbon-look detail: the two models split the segment, dual-material aesthetics for the Gear, full certification for the Gear-S.

GRS certificato su tutti i componenti e CO2 dichiarata ISO 14067 (0,600 kg, -15%): il gadget sostenibile difendibile in un report, non un claim generico. La trama 3D lo distingue al tatto dai cappellini promozionali standard prima ancora del logo.
