I tend to sweat a fair amount when hiking hard in freezing temps.. wearing a Cap 1, 2, or 3 gets drenched and they take forever to dry.. Is the material on the cap 4 faster drying?

cap 1 or 2 tend to be the quickest drying usually since they're the lightest of the capilene fabrics. Cap 4 might do well for you though, it's got an open grid texture on the interior of the fabric that moves moisture really well. If you need to layer I would actually put a Cap 4 or R1 over the Cap 1, 2, or 3, it would help move the moisture even better and hopefully keep you drier.
