Cap auf Reisen – Soulbuddy Travel Case und Karabiner – Blog-Header

Travelling with your cap: crease-free in your suitcase, secure on your backpack

Off on vacation – and of course the whole family’s favorite caps are coming too. But space in the suitcase is tight, the caps get squeezed between clothes and shoes and arrive with a dented crown. And on the go? At the beach the wind blows the cap away, on a day trip it gets taken off and forgotten somewhere. Here’s how your cap stays in shape when travelling and how to attach it securely to your backpack or bag on the go.

Handy for families: the Travel Case for up to 4 caps fits, for example, your complete set of 2 or set of 3. The large Travel Case even holds up to 12 caps – enough for the whole family’s caps.

Attaching your cap to your backpack: carabiner and Cap Clip

You don’t wear your cap every minute of the day. So it doesn’t get lost or crushed in those moments, there are two helpers:

  • Cap Carabiner: With the Cap Carabiner you attach your caps to your backpack or bag. The lightweight aluminum carabiner has a screw lock that protects against accidental opening. Available as a single or set of 2, with Soulbuddy laser engraving and a gift box. Not suitable for climbing.
  • Cap Clip: The Cap Clip holds your cap on your T-shirt, jacket, wetsuit or backpack – ideal for wind and action. It fits all cap sizes, whether snapback, trucker cap or dad hat, and clips on without tools.

Our tip for kids: The Cap Clip is the strongest safeguard. It attaches your child’s cap directly to a shirt or jacket – so it stays with your child even in the wind and during wild play.

Suitcase tips: how to pack your caps

  • Don’t pack them at the bottom: caps don’t belong under shoes, books or your toiletry bag. If you’re not using a case, put them as close to the top of the suitcase as possible.
  • Don’t crease the brim: don’t fold the cap. A creased brim often can’t be smoothed out completely.
  • Transport caps together: in the Cap Travel Case, the caps are protected side by side and all the family’s caps are in one place.
  • Reshape the brim: if the brim has suffered on the way, bring it back into shape with the Cap Curver. Our article Bending a cap brim shows you how.

Losing your cap? Not with a safety clip and carabiner

At the beach, on a boat or on a bike ride, one gust of wind is often all it takes – and the cap is gone. With the Cap Clip as a safety clip, your cap stays with you, even when things get wild. For breaks when you take your cap off, the Cap Carabiner on your backpack is the easiest solution: hook the cap on, close the screw lock, off you go.

Out and about with kids? Toddlers in particular like to pull their cap off or lose it while playing. This is where the Cap Clip is the strongest solution: it attaches your child’s cap directly to a shirt or jacket, so it won’t fly away even in the wind. Matching kids caps come in KIDS M for toddlers approx. 1–2 years and KIDS L for kids from approx. 2 years – you’ll find the exact measurements in our size chart.
