Favorite cap ever, just the best

I like wearing this hat while running absorbs sweat and wicks it away

lightweight and cool. probably not the best for direct sun

I was looking for a running hat for an upcoming half marathon, so I bought this alongside a Ciele and Sprints Running Cap. Ended up keeping this one out of the three, and I'm glad I did. This OR hat did an outstanding job of keeping sweat out of my eyes and off my face for the whole race, and I think it looked the best of the three. It's very form-fitting compared to the other options I tried on--the other hats kind of 'sat up' higher than necessary, rather than follow the shape of my head.The care instructions say to hand-wash only, but I threw it into the washing machine and dryer every few days and had no problems. Did end up using some black electrical tape on the back adjusting strap to keep it secure, too.

I play a lot of racket, sports and sweat profusely! I was wearing a visor and it would start to smell after a couple of days. This hat is cool (mesh top), resists odor, keeps the sun out of my eyes, and looks good. Not much else to ask for.

The hat is great quality but this Vendor took 25 days to deliver the product, from Ohio!I do recommend OR Brand products.

I've been looking for a good running hat for ages, and this one is perfect. I get very sweaty, and my hats tend to soak up a lot of sweat and become pretty gross. I tried pure mesh and plastic hats, but that caused the sweat to just drip off of it in big drops.The design of this hat lets my head breathe really well!

My go-to cap for years now.

Comparing to typical store caps (Golf Caps) this one runs about 15 smaller in overall look and feel. Great design for airflow, etc. just unfortunately a tad small. My Tilly hat size is 7 1/2 for reference.

Very breathable! I've washed it and it retains its shape.

Husband has a large bald head. Most hats are too snug or uncomfortable. This is EXCELLENT for sweat, comfort, style and sun protection. He has 3 and loves them.

These hats are well worth the money. I've been using them for years and have six in different colors. They are my go-to for any outdoor activities. They're lightweight and fast drying too. I yet to find a product that Outdoor Research makes that's not top quality.

The hats cover your face well in the sun. The mesh keeps yout head cool! Nice colors. More expensive in stores. Will buy again.

I've tried a bunch of different sun hats for hiking in the summer and none of them fit my 21.5 hat size very well without looking really weird or bubbling up in the back. This one is great though. I own lots of OR things, they know what they're doing!

Love the design of these hats. I get a lot of compliments when I wear mine. I own one in lime green and another in khaki.

I recently purchased the Outdoor Research Swift Cap and I am beyond impressed! This cap has been my constant companion on all my outdoor adventures.The lightweight, breathable material makes it perfect for hot, sunny days. I've worn it on long hikes, trail runs, and even a few boating excursions, and it has held up beautifully. The cap's built-in UPF 50 sun protection is a fantastic feature that gives me peace of mind during prolonged sun exposure.What I love most about the Swift Cap is its comfort and fit. The adjustable back strap allows for a customized fit, ensuring the cap stays in place no matter how vigorous the activity. Despite its sturdy design, it feels incredibly light on the head, almost as if it isn't there at all.As an added bonus, the cap is also quite stylish. I've received several compliments on its sleek design and vibrant color. It's a cap that looks as good in the city as it does on the trail.In conclusion, the Outdoor Research Swift Cap has exceeded all my expectations. It's durable, comfortable, protective, and stylish. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's a definite five-star product!

My dad loved it so much, he ordered a 2nd one 5-6 years later when his finally wore out. He was very specific wanting a shorter bill, light weight, white, breathable cap. Adjustable strap for any size.

Purchased for sun protection during walks / day hikes in sunny warm months.Well-made; good materials and construction.Darker fabric covers under-visor to reduce light reflecting off ground level.However, the curve on the bill can be off center.Out of sample of two, kept the one that was much less askew.Was concerned cap style could fly off under light windy conditions.Glad when taking cap off, feels like the pre-shaped visor helps to keep cap secure near the temples on either side of the face. Feels snug, but not overly tight or uncomfortable.SEMI-Water Repellent construction.The main synthetic center strip and visor fabric is water repellent, water beads easily.BUT the exposed sides of the MESH layer is not, soaks up water readily.So would expect sides of the head to be wet under light rain.Fine in occasional rain showers, head should dry off quickly with the mesh sides.Worn on morning trails, good sun protection (cap style does leave ears uncovered).Feels cool in light breeze, sweatband working as designed - no sweat dripping and stinging eyes.Overall happy with purchase. Good cap for designed purpose.Likely consider getting additional in Khaki color.NOTE: 4 stars for Sun Protection = max stars for Cap-Style IMHO, not due to bad design.

fits well; I like the white color which reflects the sun on hot days. The meshed sides allow for cooling.

It pricey, but the hat is comfortable, keeps the sun off the top of my bald head and is well ventilated. I'm glad I found it.
