A tool to evaluate the subjective wearing comfort of baseball caps from the objective
measurement of pressure was developed. Comfortable fit-ability index (CFI) and holding
power were defined to represent the subjective wearing comfort of caps. As a preliminary
step to define the CFI, average pressure, pressure distribution and standard deviation of
pressure were obtained and subjective sensation were evaluated by wearing caps. The
holding power was also estimated from wind tunnel testing. Two sets of baseball caps
were evaluated, one set made of elastic fabric (F-caps) and the other set made of non-
elastic fabric (S-caps). F-caps began to be taken off by the higher wind velocity and thus
exhibited higher values of holding power. On the other hand, F-caps exerted lower average
pressure, a narrower pressure distribution, and smaller standard deviation. It was
concluded that caps employing elastic fabric were more comfortable since their pressure
was rather evenly distributed and still maintaining higher holding power.
