How to wear the
9FORTY APEX
Style the 9FORTY® APEX with an oversized tee and relaxed denim for an effortless everyday look. Layer it with a bomber jacket for added edge and all-season appeal, creating a clean finish that works from weekday to weekend. The curved visor and structured crown bring subtle definition to relaxed silhouettes.
Its lightweight feel and adjustable fit keep it comfortable, while the streamlined profile adds a sharp touch to casual outfits — making it an easy, versatile staple for any rotation.
Built For Lightweight Comfort
The 9FORTY Apex may have the familiarity of the classic 9FORTY, but it's what's inside that sets it apart.
Designed for the ultimate lightweight comfort, the Apex reworks the traditional construction of the 9FORTY. Instead of using firm materials typically found behind the front panel, it features a spacer-mesh backing that helps the crown hold its shape, whilst giving a softer feel and more flexibility on the head.
Breathable mesh rear panels help with airflow, and a redesigned curved visor uses a lighter EVA foam insert to reduce weight and bulk.
The result, a cap that is just as fashionable as a 9FORTY, but better suited for performance activities, or on the go.
