The Outdoor Research Swift Cap shields your eyes and keeps your noggin cool for those hot days barbequing or watching the ball game. The Swift Cap's Coolmax headband wicks moisture, while its mesh liner and lightweight, quick-dry Supplex fabric aids in ventilation. Outdoor Research gave this hat a shaped, plastic-stiffened bill to give it a worn-in look.

Bottom Line: Enjoy the game wearing the Outdoor Research Swift Cap.

Great cap!

This cap is very well made and is a great fit. It is espically good on hot days as the sides are ventilated due to the material used.

Not one size fits all

By:
June 30, 2011

First, let me say this is a great cap idea. It does a great job at letting air flow. The problem is the sizing. I have it sized all the way down and it is still a little loose in the wind. I wear a medium in other OR hats, but this is swimmingly large. I'm looking at replacing the strap design with Velcro, hopefully that will allow me to adjust it to an appropriate size.

Outdoor Research Swift Cap

By:
September 9, 2011

This is by far my favorite hat I've ever owned. I have 3 of these hats now, 2 in white and 1 in red. I absolutely love the white color, but unfortunately they don't sell it anymore. The hat itself breaths super well and fits my head perfectly. It doesn't come down so far that it touches the top of your ears like some other hats tend to do on me. The bill is nice and flexible and the inner material is unbelievably comfortable. I don't ever leave to go on a hike, climb, or even around town without it. I even take it with me skiing so that when we go out afterwords I can cover up my sweet helmet hair. Love this hat!

Swift Baseball Hat

Nice hat. I've run in mine for about 3 months. It breathes well and repels water. It is light weight and fits low to the head. The preformed bill has a nice curve to it and maintains its shape. The styling is such that it can be worn for casual outdoor outings as well as sports activities.

This hat is light weight and super awesome. By awesome, I mean that it is super cheap for what you are getting. light weight, good at blocking the sun, eye catching, cool looking.

I accidentally bent the brim the wrong way and with some magic I quickly moved it back into place and i haven't noticed any problems with the brim.

I enjoy the fabric of the hat, a combination of mesh and a highly woven cover. I suggest taking this on trips when it is not moist/ wet/ damp/ soaking/ downpour/ sprinkle/ watery, because the top is open and the only real protection you would get is in your eyes, no top protection, more for venting, which is why it is super great for running.

I run XC for my high school and will wear this hat on those sunny shirtless days, I dont really like wearing my sunglasses while i run because i feel like it wobbles and bounces on my face. Hats stick better to your head and does not impede your vision as much. Great hat for the cheap price, good Baseball cap, I also plan on taking this up mountain climbing like Mt. Rainer.

My FAVORITE HAT

By:

I wear this almost every day. I always get a good sweat going when I'm outside even in cool weather. This hat breathes so well, the sides are an open mesh that breathes. I love the fit and how it looks.

Lesser Swift Cap

By:
June 17, 2011

I have two Swift Caps and love 'em so much I bought a third. This Swift Cap looks similar, but on closer inspection it is a slightly smaller cap. It still says one size fits all, but this is not so. The other caps fit me fine. This new cap is a skull cap. Less fabric on top with a longer tail at the back. Very disappointing!
