Water-Resistant Military Caps

New Era Japan WM-01 Keeps the Head Dry in Rainy Weather

After introducing the Gore-Tex caps, New Era is back with another weather-friendly hat with the New Era Japan WM-01 models.

In rainy weather, caps can only do so much in terms of keeping the head dry, especially if it's not H20-friendly. Thankfully, the New Era Japan WM-01 series is here to keep heads dry as well as the hat itself. The item incorporates waterproof nylon for the interior as well as a breathable mesh for comfort. In terms of design, the cap is a military-styled hat that goes the minimalist route with the only visible graphic being the New Era logo stitched on the left side.

The New Era Japan WM-01 is available in three different colors which include black, turquoise and white.
