Comments about Outdoor Research Swift Cap:

I wear the hat for hiking, running and rowing on warm or hot days. It breathes well, allows my head to stay cool.

Comments about Outdoor Research Swift Cap:

I wore out my last Swift hat after years of constant use, and I liked it so much that I bought two for myself and one each for my wife and two school-age sons.

I wear it hiking/camping, at the pool, on the water, around town and the house, etc. I used to wear a hat only sometimes, but I like this hat so much, I wear it almost daily.

The hat is comfortable and light. In hot weather it breathes like a champ. I've worn it from the 100s to as cold as the upper 20s, and it's great. (It's not warm, but breathes well when you're breaking a sweat in the cold.)

The nylon front panel does a great job of stopping wind and rain. Though it's not waterproof, water does bead on it, and it's my rain hat of choice when it's too warm and humid for my Seattle Sombrero. Yes, my head eventually gets wet, but much less than I would've thought considering the time (hours) and amount of rain. It dries quickly too.

It adjust easily, so it can fit an adult or a school-age child.

My only complaint is that my last khaki hat developed sweat stains after a hot summer, and I couldn't get the stains out. I don't know yet if the other colors stain. But that's a quibble, since my traditional baseball caps get stained too eventually.

Bottom line: it the best baseball-style cap made for active people.

Feels great and love the ventilation while still protecting against sunburn.

This is a nice hat but, is it is not as light weight and cool as I had hoped. I wanted a lighter more breathable hat for running. The mesh on this hat is very fine so it is not cooler than my other running hat which is solid light weight nylon.

Bought this hat for a backpacking trip in Yosemite. Needed something super light weight and quick drying to keep the sun off my face at high altitudes.Hat is all these things and more. Very lightweight, comfortable, breathable and cool in hot weather. Perfect for people that are active outdoors and do not want a full brim hat. I would say this hat is more functional than it is stylish, in my opinion.

This is a great hat as you might expect from Outdoor Research. There is a complete mesh layer and then a narrower fabric layer across the top from brim to back (perfect for us balding guys). Light, breathable, and stylish. Very nice how the adjustable strap lies inside the hatband. Pull the loose end out, adjust the hat, and then thread it back into the hatband.
