Guru Claw Trucker Cap
The classic sun cap is one of the few items that really is an angling staple across the disciplines. Whether you’re a carp fishing fanatic, you spend your weekends match fishing on rivers, you enjoy fly fishing or fishing for predators, or you prefer saltwater angling from the beach or a boat, a peaked cap is absolutely essential for your year round angling enjoyment. In the summer months, a top quality peaked cap can shield your eyes from bright sunlight and damaging UV rays, whereas in the colder moths it can add a layer of insulation and prevent rain from dripping directly on your face. Plenty of angling brands have designed and manufactured their own versions of the classic peaked sun cap, but this offering from Guru is a superior option for a fan of the brand.
The Guru Claw Trucker Cap offers a slight twist on the classic sun cap. Rather than being cotton throughout, the rear panels of the cap are a polyester and mesh mix. This is perfect for those summer months, when the air is stale with heat and you’re desperate for the slightest breath of cooling breeze. The mesh panelling on the cap allows a gentle breeze to pass over your scalp, whilst the full front panels protect you from the worst of the sun’s rays. The combination ensures that you can keep a cool head even when the situation on the bank is heating up – allowing you to remain focused on your angling and un-distracted by the elements. After all, we’ve all used the weather as an excuse for our blanks in the past. With the Guru Claw Trucker Cap, this is one excuse that won’t be cutting the mustard any more.
The Guru Claw Trucker Cap comes in a navy blue colour. This makes it best suited to the colour palette of the match angler, although it is a nice neutral colour which will look good with a range of angling clothing items from across the disciplines. To add a special Guru twist to the cap, the peak has been tipped with orange. Orange is Guru’s trademark colour and this subtle flash of the brand’s vibrant shade ensures that this cap sets you apart from others on the bank – without being garish or ‘in your face’. Similarly, the Guru logo on the front of the cap is equally subtle. In the same dark navy blue as the rest of the cap, this TEAM GURU logo ensures that you can give your favourite brand a quite shout out on the bank.
The Guru Claw Trucker Cap is a one size fits all cap, as with most classic peaked sun caps. In order to ensure that you can get a comfortable fit, the cap is finished with a rear snap adjuster. This means that you never have to worry about a gentle breeze snatching the cap from your head or, similarly, you don’t have to worry that your cap will fall from your head and into the water depths of your matching fishing venue – never to be seen again.
Guru was established in 2009 in order to manufacture top quality tackle that meets the needs of the UK’s match fishing community. What really sets Guru apart from other brands on the market is its use of pro-anglers at every stage of its tackle design. Names like Steve Ringers, Andy Pell, and Dean Macey are all regulars in the Guru offices – pitching ideas, aiding with tackle design, and playing a huge part in the testing process. All products have been personally vetted by the Guru team for their performance excellence and quality of manufacture.
