02 — Manifesto

We analyze it like an editorial team would. We don't sell it.

In the technical bucket hat segment, the Pico occupies a precise space: it is the model for those who want outdoor performance — water repellency, breathability, low weight — on a certified recycled material with one of the most favourable impact figures in the Atlantis catalogue. The GRS-certified recycled nylon cuts the carbon footprint by 47% versus the baseline, a figure that places the Pico among the promotional caps with the best performance/sustainability ratio in the category.

The soft construction with a compact design does not give up customisation: embroidery works up to 12×6 cm on all panels — front, back and sides — without distortion, thanks to the nylon weave that holds the thread precisely. The recycled Dry-Tech sweatband with antibacterial properties is a concrete differentiator versus standard polyester bucket hats: it manages moisture during physical activity and keeps comfort even in the most intense use conditions. The adjustable drawcord with stopper completes the technical profile.

It is the choice for outdoor, sports and technical-lifestyle brands looking for a bucket hat with verifiable functional features — not just a cap with a logo. It is not the right product for those wanting a wide palette or vivid colours: four neutral-dark tones are the entirety of the Pico's colour offering.

01
Embroidery· Molto buono
83%
Recycled nylon offers a stable embroidery surface on all panels: front and back up to 12×6 cm, sides up to 12×6 cm — an unusually generous side area for a bucket hat. The nylon weave holds the thread precisely without fraying. Start at least 2 cm from the brim edge. The soft structure rules out 3D puff embroidery; flat embroidery works best. A water-soluble stabiliser is recommended to maintain tension during stitching.
Max area 12x6
02
DTF — Direct to Film· Molto buono
78%
DTF transfer applicable on front (7×6 cm), back (7×6 cm) and all sides (7×6 cm) with a dedicated cap press. The smooth nylon surface ensures excellent adhesion. Unlimited colours, suitable for multicolour artwork. Controlled pressing temperature (150–160°C) to preserve the surface water-repellent treatment.
Max area 7x6
03
Screen printing· Molto buono
72%
Read the technical analysis
Screen printing is applicable on front and back (10×6 cm) and side panels (10×6 cm). The smooth nylon surface ensures even ink deposition. Maximum 2 colours to guarantee stable registration on the curved surface. Use inks formulated for nylon or synthetic fabric to ensure durable adhesion.
Max area 10x6Max colors 2
04
Patch — Woven / PVC / Faux leather· Sufficiente
65%
Read the technical analysis
Woven or PVC patches applicable via perimeter stitching on front and sides. Heat-sealing is not recommended on treated nylon: excessive heat can compromise the water-repellent treatment. Prefer perimeter stitching or moderate pressure with a nylon-specific adhesive.
05
Sublimation· Non compatibile
0%
Read the technical analysis
Recycled nylon is not compatible with sublimation: the molecular structure of nylon does not hold sublimation dyes stably, leading to rapid colour fading. For multicolour digital printing use DTF with a dedicated cap press.
06
DTG — Direct to Garment· Non compatibile
0%
Read the technical analysis
The three-dimensional shape of the bucket hat and the nylon surface are not compatible with DTG printing. The print head requires a uniform flat contact that the curved crown does not provide. Use DTF with a cap press as the digital alternative.
