👒 Protective Outdoor Research Swift Sun Hat for All Sizes Review

I don't usually wear hats when I'm exercising or running because I think you get warm much faster. Recently I decided to try again. I bought the Outdoor Research cap because I liked the clean look and ventilation the entire cap offered. I took it for a long time and was surprised by its performance. The hat is lightweight and the solid part of the fabric in the center of the hat provides adequate protection from the sun. The back strap is easily adjustable and tucks neatly into a hidden slit…

My favorite hat. I have male pattern baldness (thanks to the parent units!) so I shave my head every few days. I don't have it, I can't pretend. The problem is that if I don't cover it, I'll get skin cancer on my head. This hat is perfect. It fits well, breathes very well and I'm a runner too so it's good for that purpose too. However, when you're bald, you get "fat spots" after a while. This hat is also machine washable. Dry it off and get back to work in a few hours. And yes, soaking in…

lol I don't remember it was a women's hat when I ordered it but it looks good on my male skull. I wear this hat every day while jogging. Sometimes when I'm running in strong winds it can be difficult to tighten the adjustment strap to keep the cap from slipping off my head. I don't know how worrying this is because it usually happens on a leash where it's almost too windy to wear any type of hat without a cord under your chin. Another minor complaint: I like to hang my hat on the doorknob when…

I bought this hat for the first time last summer and I really liked it. Extremely lightweight and breathable compared to other traditional cotton hats. I lost my hat after putting it on my car and forgetting it, so I ordered a new one this summer. I bought a few other "off-brand" hats in a similar style to compare. I haven't checked this one thoroughly yet as it has passed the return period. I can see that the edge is off-center, meaning it's turned up slightly. This makes wearing the hat a bit

This is the second OR Swift hat I have. The first hopefully had an accidental defect, causing a matching clasp to quickly fall into disrepair. I put it on and hobbled around for a few more years because it's a very comfortable hat and I didn't want to lose it anytime soon. It was worth rolling the dice to see if this hat lasts longer and so far I have no indication that this hat has the same problem as the previous one. Sometimes life is just stupid. I have tried different running caps from…

Benefits: This is a well-ventilated, lightweight, sweat-wicking hat that protects your head and eyes from the sun. The adjustment strap is neatly hidden; Adjustments are easy enough to make, and a plastic adjustment clip keeps the strap securely in place. Disadvantages: a very small. This hat is advertised to fit a one size fits all; but not necessarily universal. This cap seems to contribute to a bigger and hairier head. As I have a small head with follicle problems I wear a size 7 hat so I…

After more than a decade in service, it's finally time to retire the last of my Columbia-style baseball caps. Unfortunately, they don't seem interested in making them like this anymore, so Outdoor Research got my $$ instead. When I got the first one I liked it so much that I ordered four more. All in all these are fantastic hats. However, I would like to point out the following problems. First, one of the five was poorly designed. Sewn on with hair sewn on slightly off-center, the bill has an…

This is how you'll feel wearing this cap. A few years ago I bought the same model in a darker color from an outfitter. I love it but wanted a lighter version. I was very happy to find it at a reasonable price so I bought it. Look, I'm going through menopause and I live in Georgia. Summer is brutal here, as you can imagine. I even shave my head to cool down, but the problem is that my head burns easily in the sun. "Put your hat on, damn it!" (That's my wife.) So I need hats that breathe so I…

I forgot my cap on a recent climb to Moab. The sun was beating down and luckily a friend lent me his OR Sun Runner hat. As proof of how much I love this hat I ordered the surgical hat as soon as I got back. I didn't need the side panels of a Sun Runner hat (I always carry a bandana with me and roll it out and wear it under my hat when I really need to cover my ears and neck), so I ordered a Swift sun hat in Exhaustion. A hat of typical Outdoor Research quality, so excellent. As with the hat I…
