Dec 23, 2025As the new year begins, fitness and movement naturally rise to the top of everyone’s resolution list. Whether it’s early morning workouts, gym sessions after work, or simply committing to a more active routine, January is about momentum — and having the right headwear to support it.
Imperial’s performance headwear collection is built for exactly that. Lightweight, breathable, and designed to move with you, these styles combine technical materials with clean design for comfort that lasts the whole year.
Here’s a closer look at Imperial’s performance-driven styles and collections and what makes each one a go-to for workouts, training, and everyday movement.
The X210P – Lightweight Performance for Everyday Movement
The X210P leads Imperial’s performance lineup as the brand’s best-selling style, delivering dependable comfort and versatility. Designed with a low-profile, unstructured shape and an OSFM fit, it delivers a relaxed, easy feel that’s comfortable from warm-up to cool-down.
Made from 100% recycled performance polyester, this cap is lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking — ideal for staying active without overheating. A performance moisture-wicking, antimicrobial sweatband helps manage sweat and odor, while UPF 50+ protection adds confidence for outdoor workouts.
Finished with a curved visor and a self-fabric micro hook & loop closure with elastic and garage tuck-in, the X210P balances performance and polish for daily wear.
Perfect for: Gym sessions, walking routines, weekend workouts, runs, yoga, golf or everyday active wear.
The L338: The Hinsen – Small Fit Performance Ponytail Cap
Classic performance with a smart twist, The L338: The Hinsen is designed to move with you—without getting in the way of your hair. Built on one of Imperial’s best-selling small fit performance silhouettes, this style adds durable elastic cross bands at the open back, comfortably accommodating ponytails worn high, low, or anywhere in between.
Made from performance polyester fabric, The Hinsen is lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking, helping you stay cool and comfortable through workouts and active days. Its soft-structured, low-sweep profile delivers a polished look, while the micro hook & loop closure with adjustable D-ring allows for a secure, customized fit.
Designed as a small fit cap (6 3/4 – 7 1/8), The Hinsen offers all-day comfort with a design that won’t compromise your style—or your hair.
Perfect for: Running, training, yoga, and outdoor workouts when comfort, fit, and hair-friendly design matter most.
The Lab Series – Advanced Performance, Elevated Design

The 3124P & L3124P – Performance Visors Built for Runners
For runners who want maximum breathability without sacrificing sun protection, Imperial’s performance visors deliver the best of both worlds. Visors are a go-to choice for running because they keep heat off your head while still shielding your eyes from glare—and the 3124P lineup is designed to perform mile after mile.
The 3124P features a low-profile visor shape with an OSFM fit, while the L3124P offers the same performance benefits in a small fit (6 3/4 – 7 1/8). Both styles are made from 100% recycled performance polyester and feature lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking fabric to help regulate temperature during runs.
A performance moisture-wicking, antimicrobial sweatband keeps sweat in check, while the curved visor and matching undervisor provide consistent eye coverage without added bulk. Finished with a self-fabric micro hook & loop closure with elastic and garage tuck-in, these visors stay secure and comfortable through every stride.
Perfect for: Running, race days, training runs, and outdoor workouts when breathability and visibility matter most.
