## Description

Our most popular training hat, the Swift cap has sun protection and a full mesh liner crown for superior ventilation in warm weather, while the shaped brim and nylon panels offer serious protection from the sun.

Review: Best hat I've bought to keep cool - I purchased this hat to keep me cool when hiking. I've purchased a few hats for this purpose but this is the only one that has worked. It super light, breathable, reflects the sun & fits perfectly as it's easily adjustable. Because the peak is structured, it doesn't flop around in the wind like other hats I've bought. Being hypercritical, I wish the mesh sides were a lighter colour to better reflect the sun. Instructions say you can machine wash it but not tried this yet. Overall very happy with the purchase.
Review: Excellent sun protection for top of head: lightweight with mesh at the sides for ventilation. - I've bought this cap several times (in different colours) for myself and other hikers. It's fully adjustable at the back, so should comfortably fit any adult head. A good brim. Lightweight with ventilated side mesh. I've used this cap on long and short hikes and it's the best I've found. Works well with sunglasses, or under a rain jacket hood.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best hat I've bought to keep cool
*by H***R on 28 July 2023*

I purchased this hat to keep me cool when hiking. I've purchased a few hats for this purpose but this is the only one that has worked. It super light, breathable, reflects the sun & fits perfectly as it's easily adjustable. Because the peak is structured, it doesn't flop around in the wind like other hats I've bought.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent sun protection for top of head: lightweight with mesh at the sides for ventilation.
*by D***E on 25 May 2023*

I've bought this cap several times (in different colours) for myself and other hikers. It's fully adjustable at the back, so should comfortably fit any adult head. A good brim. Lightweight with ventilated side mesh. I've used this cap on long and short hikes and it's the best I've found. Works well with sunglasses, or under a rain jacket hood.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Baseball Cap for sweaty heads!
*by D***N on 30 January 2023*

For mountain hikes I would usually wear a run of the mill black Nike baseball cap. However, although being black and not exactly wise to wear in hot sun, even on cooler days I was getting fed up of how drenched my head was getting - not to mention the white salt lines from the sweat. The Outdoor Research cap is very lightweight and thin with the additional benefit of the mesh sides for air flow and venting. It's well made and doesn't appear to have faded in the sun so far. It has also survived being machine washed a few times so I'd say this is a pretty decent buy.
