Last month, Atlantis Headwear partnered with Melloblocco, the world’s largest international bouldering gathering, to create a cap for the event’s 21st year, which took place from May 7-10, 2025, in Italy’s granite valleys of Val di Mello and Val Masino.

Melloblocco is not a competition but a community event that draws all demographics, from world-class athletes to amateurs, according to a press release. Participants challenge themselves against granite boulders scattered throughout the natural scenery of Italy’s granite valleys, including Val di Mello and Val Masino, which are surrounded by forests, meadows, streams, and waterfalls.

A significant aspect of Melloblocco is minimizing the event’s environmental impact, and good environmental practices are emphasized for all participants each year.

During the design process for the cap, Atlantis states that it aimed to create a product that reflected the outdoor spirit of the event. This led the design team to choose the Erie — a lightweight, breathable, and water-resistant cap. From recycled mesh to dry-tech sweatband, this product meets a clean, versatile aesthetic with sport, nature, and community spirit, the company reports.

Atlantis Headwear has partnered with several other organizations for various events this year.
