Its OK.

Its OK. Well made and like how it's adjustible with the slider. The open mesh cap is cool while the bill keeps the sun out of your eyes. Didnt realize that the cap was shaped like a truckers cap. The bill is super flimsy.

Air cap

The bill doesn't cover as much sun as hoped and would not have purchased if I realized that were made in China. Please make that more clear on all products or even better don't use China.

Great running hat

Great lightweight cap. Use it while training for ultras in Arizona. Breathes really well. Bungee strap in back allows for quick adjustments on the go but can get in the way if worn backwards with a headlamp during night hours.

A hat you could wear all day and not know it

I bought this hat primarily for trail running, but it breathes so well and provides enough protection that I've been using it for backpacking too! Hands down my favorite hat I've ever owned. Light, very adjustable, and good protection. Will probably pair this with the removable sun cape for full sun protection next spring/summer. If I had to offer one piece of advice to OR, next time I would use a stretchy webbing back clip instead of the shock cord. I don't like wearing this hat backwards because I look like a unicorn with the extra shock cord.

Another Great OR Cap

Fantastic cap. I have a large head (typically a L/XL in OR caps) and am always concerned with the "one size" you see on hats/caps. This cap has NO issue with that, at all. It's got a great adjuster system for you...you can loosen and tighten with easy. Love the soft bill, even if it is a bit short. Have used this hat on runs where humidity was 80% and it was 75 plus degrees and the hat never felt heavy and, due to the holes in the cap, it breathes ridiculously well, so the top of your head never really feels hot. Another winner from OR.

Light, fits large noggin, keeps me cool.

I am a large guy 6'4" and have a hard time finding hats that fit me. This one is super light weight and the sizing mechanism is lightweight and fits my big noggin. The bill material is lightweight and flexible so squishes down into a bag or pocket easily. Great hat for trail running in SoCal.
