What Makes the Pulse Umpire Cap Different?
The Pulse fabric is the defining feature. Richardson describes Pulse as a premium on-field performance polyester knitted for a clean technical appearance with stretch for a flexible fit. The integrated Stay-Dri sweatband is designed to move moisture away from the wearer for faster evaporation.
Unlike the Ignite LT umpire cap, the standard Pulse umpire models do not rely on laser-perforated rear panels. Instead, the cap uses its stretch performance fabric and Stay-Dri sweatband as the primary performance features.
The umpire Pulse family includes the 633, 643, and 653 models, distinguished primarily by bill length and stitch rows.
