Today I am writing about one of my favorite products that has come back with some updates.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That product is the Duckbill Cap.<\/a><\/p>\n

A side mesh hat that is popular in the outdoor brand scene.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The key features would be the side panels made from mesh material and the short brim for better visibility. I had the same type of hat that I wore while I did a bike tour in Argentina, which unfortunately got stolen. It’s not like it was my favorite hat, but it was something that inconvenienced me by not having, so I pitched the idea to make our own to the product designers.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

We used water repellent material for the main body just like the last batch. The hat will keep your head from direct sunlight. The hats now have a new deeper fit and sturdier buckles, so I think more people can wear them comfortably now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The brims are slightly longer than the last batch, making the hat to blend in any type of occasions in life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The buckles are now a clicky type, so they are easier to adjust and won’t become loose.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A wide range of color-ways are available just like other Blue Lug products. You can choose colors that would match the outfit you always wear.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The length of the brim is perfect for cyclists. They’re not too long and not too short. It will not interfere with helmets, which I think is important. You won’t have to wear traditional cycling hats when you are riding in your daily clothes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If don’t feel like wearing them while you’re out, you could fold it and stow it in your pockets, stem bags, or any type of bags. (I had mine stolen when I left it inside the stem bag in Argentina, so be careful!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I hope you like the updated Duckbill Hats!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":175135,"template":"","tags":[],"better_featured_image":{"id":175135,"alt_text":"","caption":"","description":"","media_type":"image","media_details":{"width":1980,"height":1320,"file":"2026\/04\/20260223-DSC06591-83.jpg","filesize":261788,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"20260223-DSC06591-83-1280x853.jpg","width":1280,"height":853,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":129369,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260223-DSC06591-83-1280x853.jpg"},"large":{"file":"20260223-DSC06591-83-1720x1147.jpg","width":1720,"height":1147,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":202546,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260223-DSC06591-83-1720x1147.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"file":"20260223-DSC06591-83-768x512.jpg","width":768,"height":512,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":58877,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260223-DSC06591-83-768x512.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":174193,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260223-DSC06591-83.jpg"},"acf":{"online-store-search-keywords":"duckbill","search-result-sort-order":"relevance_newest","search-result-sort-by":"desc","stockSortFlg":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/global\/176499"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/global"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/global"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/35"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
