E-Series Running Caps

Fractel's E-Series is our running cap for smaller heads, with a wider high-ponytail opening and a quick-adjust cinch cord for a close, secure fit.

Lightweight Fabric, Snug Fit

Every E-Series cap is cut from ultra-light, recycled PACE™ fabric, so it stays breathable and quick-drying through longer runs. The wide rear opening keeps a high ponytail in place without pulling, and the cinch cord dials in the fit for a smaller head.

Want the ponytail-ready opening in a different silhouette? Our C-Series covers the same fit in a lower-profile shape, or browse the wider small heads range for other sizing options.

FAQs

Why doesn't just tightening the strap on a standard cap work for a smaller head?

An adjustable strap only changes the circumference, not the proportions. On a smaller head, a standard cap's crown is still too deep, so you get puckering at the back and the peak sits lower over your eyes even at the tightest setting.

How do I measure my head to check if I need a smaller-fit cap?

Wrap a tape measure (or string) around your head above your eyebrows and ears. Under roughly 54-55cm generally means a standard cap will run big, and a smaller-fit style like our E-Series will sit properly.

What's different about a cap made for smaller heads, beyond a tighter strap?

A properly small-fit cap like the E-Series is cut with a shallower crown and a low profile from the start, so the fit is right at the base measurement rather than relying on the adjuster to do all the work.

What features does the E-Series have beyond its smaller fit?

Alongside the smaller-fit build, the E-Series has a wide high-ponytail opening, a quick-adjust rear cinch cord and a pre-curved peak. It's not just sized down, the proportions themselves are different.

Is the E-Series a running cap for smaller heads, or a kids' cap?

It's an adult running cap for smaller heads, not a kids' cap. If you're shopping for a younger runner, get in touch and we'll point you in the right direction.

What should I look for in a running cap for smaller heads if I've been sizing down in a standard cap?

Look for a shallower crown and a low profile built into the pattern from the start, not just a tighter adjuster. That's what separates a genuine running cap for smaller heads, like the E-Series, from a standard cap pulled in at the back.
