Solid Sun-Smart Hat!
Bought this hat for a little extra coverage in above-alpine and minimal tree-cover running zones. Comfy, breathable, and gets the job done. Pretty solid price too honestly.

Great for Trail Running in Sunny & Hot Weather
Living in SoCal and being an avid runner (both the road and trails), I decided that I need a good running cap with neck/face protection from the blaring sun - especially during the summer. After looking at all the various options available, I decided to go with this cap from OR and I can't be happier. It is exactly what I needed. The fit is spot on, is breathable and keeps my head cool, and provides the protection from the sunlight from my sensitive skin. Looks good as well! Highly recommended!

I would buy this product again
I give the Sun Runner Cap 5 Stars. I am a Melanoma Survivor, and this Cap gives me the protection from the sun that I need. Itstays in place, is cool and comfortable yet flexible for all of my outdoor activities. I am almost 80 years old and continue to be active, so I really appreciate having products that assist me in pursuing the things I love to do in the outdoors!

Looks ugly, works good, would buy again
Everyone laughs at me for wearing this mullet hat, however it's undeniably practical. I like that it's lightweight, packable, I can remove the sun shield portion if needed, and there's a size option perfect for my extra large head.

Works great, but bill is small
I trekked across Costa Rica with this hat and it protected my neck and (bald) head really well. The only complaint is that the bill is shorter than most conventional caps. As a consequence, I did get some burn on the tip of my nose.

Sun protection FTW!
Great coverage, easy adjustability, simple to attach and remove neck coverage but I leave it on. Could possibly be more breathable on the really hot days, but the sun protection is amazing! Love it for trail running, 14ers, paddle boarding, and so many other things. Reasonably priced for the amount of use! Accommodates my big head and my ponytail out the back!

Awesome cap and recommend buy :)
Bought two of these hats in different colours and happy I did. Quality constructed, light weight fast dry material with breathable mesh siding. Just came back from a very hot vacation in the US Virgin Islands and the cap packed easily and provided great sun protection coverage where I needed it most. I recommend this cap :)

My favorite hat- So versatile
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 2nd one and love it. It's great to run in without the back attached, I used it to keep the sun off me on Denali, and keep the bug at bay during bug season. It's comfy, breaths well, stays on and looks great!. I highly recommend.

Lightweight, packable, protective!
This is likely the 10th outdoor research hat I have bought with previous hats being in wide brim style. I saw this hat and wanted to try it, and I have really liked moving to a super compact, lightweight product that provides excellent sun coverage for my ginger skin! The hat as well made, and I'm not sure why people think it is difficult to remove and deploy the neck hood, you simply feed your head between the chinstrap and the fabric on the back and then connect to snaps on the front. Couldn't be easier! I recommend this hat to anyone looking for a full sun, coverage solution and a super lightweight package 2.9oz/84g. PS, it pairs perfectly with hooded sun shirts which are popular.

Perfect for desert running
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wore pacing at an ultra in Death Valley, and some long hot runs, worked great
