Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Radar Pocket Cap

I have owned this hat previously in the same size (Medium) - fit perfectly. This hat (sz medium) was WAYYY bigger and therefore I had to return it. Either the previous medium was too small or this one was too large - very inconsistent sizing...

I use these hats for everything. I'm bald and so having a hat that is always with me in case someone wants to stand in the sun for a while or there's a cold AC vent is my go-to. I recently lost one of my OR hats and realized I only had one left. So, I ordered a few more - all XL because I have a XL noggin. To my immense dissapointment the sizing has changed! The XL is now a normal L size. L size can get onto my head but leaves me with a headache from being too tight. The old sizing tag says "XL/LG." The new sizing says "XL" but is actually just a normal large size - which means there is no longer an OR hat that will fit an XL head. So disappointed! These hats are what turned me on to OR. I've thousands of dollars of gear from this company because of this awesome hat that NOBODY ELSE makes. This is quite a stress inducing tragedy in my life because I now only have one of these hats left which has become something of a prosthesis to protect my large, bald head from the elements.

I had the same problem with this hat as I had with the Swift hat. The bill is cut asymetrically so that one side is longer and dips much farther down than the other side. Not sure if that's a bizarre new style or just poor quality control by OR. After 10 minutes of wear it annoyed me so much I gave it away.
