Frequently asked questions
Does the Cache Cap™ fit the Cache Kit™ tools within its pockets?
Yes! The Cache Cap™ was designed to work seamlessly with our Cache Kit™ tools. The entire Essentials Kit fits seamlessly into the pockets.
Most of the slim, flat components slip right into the hidden pockets, so you can carry essentials like fire starters, water purification tablets, or first-aid items without adding bulk.
Is the Cache Cap™ TSA Approved?
Here’s a quote directly from the TSA website: “The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.”
Technically, our products are not “TSA Approved,” however, according to the TSA website, there is no such thing. Agents can use their own discretion to remove objects or personal items that they feel are a threat to the flight.
That being said, the Wazoo crew has flown on many domestic and international flights without any incident, testing the scrutiny of the Cache Cap™ through the body scanner, magnetometer, and in carry-on luggage. Therefore, we can say with certainty that, depending on the circumstances, you should have no issues getting through TSA with our products.
TSA does provide a list of prohibited items, which can be reviewed HERE.
Why is my hat discoloring?
Yellowish stains are typically from sweat and body grime. However, orange-ish discolorations are chemical reactions. These chemical reactions can be caused by a few things:
1. Wearing your hat post-swim. Your hair will still be holding chlorine and other pool chemicals, and they’ll slowly turn your hat orange.
2. Facial products. Lotions, facial treatments (especially benzoyl peroxide!), and other creams will turn your hat orange. Haircare products, too.
Discoloration usually happens when sweat and chemicals sit on the hat for long periods of time. So if you rinse them off right away and wash your hat often, it might minimize the discoloration.
Lastly, discoloration of black happens because there's no such dye color as 'black' in the natural (cotton, wood, etc) world. Sun and washing machines will beat the darkness out of anything over time.
How should I care for my hat?
Washing: Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent, or use a gentle cycle; air dry only. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, or heat that could damage the liner or reflective materials. Spot treat stains.
Durability: The pockets are designed for slim, lightweight items; avoid overstuffing or sharp objects that could puncture the fabric.
