Angled upper skirt portion (20) extends from a perimeter bead (23) down to a locking bead (34), which allows upper skirt (20) to transfer an application force from perimeter bead (23) radially to locking bead (34) in order to push the locking bead down around the upper crown (42) of a bottle neck (40). A method of applying the bottle cap is also disclosed.
