The XP Deus II Cap is made from cotton, which is breathable but not waterproof, so it will absorb water in steady rain. Light drizzle or brief showers won't soak the cap immediately, and the brim will shed some water, but extended rain exposure will saturate the cotton and make the cap heavy. The rubber patch and metal closure are durable components that handle moisture exposure, but the cotton fabric takes time to dry after getting wet. Detectorists hunting in wet climates often carry a waterproof cap or hood for heavy rain and save the Deus II Cap for dry or partly cloudy days.
