Recy Five
The recycled polyester baseball cap that solves the colour problem: 17 shades, from yellow to burgundy. Manufacturer-declared rPET. Ideal for screen printing and embroidery on a flat front with no centre seam. Optimal for teams, events and giveaways that must match an exact club colour — 60 grams, among the lightest in the catalogue. One size.
We analyze it like an editorial team would. We don't sell it.
In the recycled polyester cap segment the rule is almost always the same: sustainable material, sacrificed palette. The Recy Five flips it — 17 colours, more than the Gear-S (4) and Recy Six (7) combined: orange, light blue, white, burgundy, yellow, grey, khaki, brown, black, navy, olive, pink, red, royal, green, bottle green and a white-navy two-tone variant. For anyone who must match a club colour or a company Pantone, it is the one rPET model in the catalogue that almost certainly has it. The positioning is honest: no third-party GRS badge, but declared recycled polyester and a carbon footprint documented under ISO 14067 — 0.479 kg CO2eq, 12% less than the virgin equivalent.
The 5-panel construction works in printing's favour: the front panel is flat and has no centre seam, so screen printing and embroidery work on a continuous surface — embroidery up to 12×6 cm, starting 2 cm from the visor edge, sides at 6×5 cm and back at 8×3.5 cm. At 60 grams it is among the lightest caps in the catalogue: embroidered eyelets provide passive breathability and velcro removes size management.
It is the natural choice for sports teams, events and promotional campaigns where colour is a requirement, not a preference — and where volumes need one-size fit and fast front customisation. It is not the right product for anyone who must show a third-party certification in a tender: in that case the GRS-certified Gear-S is the alternative, with the reduced palette as the trade-off.

Sports team
Il problema tipico delle squadre — trovare il cappellino nel colore sociale esatto — qui non esiste: 17 tinte coprono praticamente ogni combinazione, dal giallo al verde bottiglia. A 60 grammi con occhielli traspiranti e velcro, è il modello rPET pensato per il campo. Logo frontale in ricamo o serigrafia su pannello continuo.
Sports event & marathon
Leggerezza (60 g), poliestere che asciuga in fretta e prezzo da volume: il profilo giusto per i pacchi gara. Il dato CO2 documentato ISO 14067 (-12%) si sposa con gli eventi a impatto certificato, e le tinte vivaci — giallo, arancio, royal — danno visibilità a staff e pacer.
