Features & Benefits

The 172 is designed for buyers who need a performance-grade, fitted trucker cap that pairs sport-specific materials with the classic structured trucker silhouette, consistent with the Richardson sports lineup.

Panel: The 6-panel construction gives the 172 its structured, rounded crown with a seam at center front. This traditional panel layout supports the cap's firm shape and provides a clean front face suited to embroidery and logo placement.

Structure: The structured build holds a consistent, upright silhouette throughout wear. The buckram-fused front panels resist collapsing or deforming under use, keeping the cap's profile and decoration surface stable - which is especially relevant for athletic buyers who wear their cap through active sessions.

Crown Height: The mid-profile crown sits at a moderate, universally flattering height - not as compact as a low-pro and not as tall as a high-profile on-field cap. This makes the 172 adaptable across team sports, casual sport wear, and lifestyle applications without appearing out of place in any context.

Hat Bill: The pre-curved bill provides shade in a consistent, fixed shape from first wear. For sports applications, the reliable curve means players don't have to break in the brim - the cap performs the same from day one of the season to the last game.

Material: Pulse Sportmesh is a premium performance polyester knit (98% Polyester/2% Spandex front, 95% Polyester/5% Spandex mesh) used across Richardson's on-field cap line. The fabric stretches for a close, comfortable fit and features Stay-Dri moisture management that wicks sweat away from the head - keeping the wearer drier during high-intensity wear. The Comfort Stretch sweatband reinforces this performance layer right where perspiration is most concentrated.

Color: Split and tri-color options allow team buyers to match the 172 to existing uniform programs or select contrasting combinations for additional visual definition. The available palette of 59 color options supports both two-tone split builds and more dynamic three-color schemes.

Best Use Cases

The 172's Pulse Sportmesh fabric, R-Flex fit, and structured silhouette make it the right cap for the following programs:

• Baseball and softball team uniform programs: The Pulse Sportmesh material and Stay-Dri moisture management are designed for competitive on-field use - the 172 is a functional choice for teams that want a performance-grade cap at an accessible wholesale price point.
• Youth and adult recreational leagues: Three size options (XS-SM, SM-MD, LG-XL) with R-Flex fitted stretch simplify fitting across varied team rosters without managed per-player sizing.
• Coaching staff headwear: Coaches who wear caps through full practice and game days benefit from the moisture-wicking construction and consistent structured fit.
• Athletic brand merchandise: The performance polyester body and clean split or tri-color options give sport-focused brands a premium-looking wholesale cap for retail or club merchandise.
• Sports camps and clinics: The fitted R-Flex format and performance material make the 172 a practical choice for summer camp staff or clinic instructors who need durable, breathable headwear throughout extended daily use.
