Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Swift Cap

I use it for everything. Hiking, hanging out etc.

This is my fave hat. I lost my first one and immediately ordered a replacement.

I own an older version of this hat: velcro closure, soft brim, mesh and top section sewn together. They changed the closure, I can't say it's better but the hat still fits my unusually large head so it's fine. I am a little confused by the recent 1-size-fits-all trend at OR: 1 size does not fit all, why would it? Adjustment always required please. The brim is stiff and seems moldable now: nice improvement. One change that excited me, since I'm all about venting, is that the side mesh actually is part of a mesh cap that covers your head, separate from and under the top material that you see. In practice, I'm not sure that the top material will separate much from the mesh to allow venting, but a great idea anyway.

The Swift Cap fits great, easy to adjust. It's light and breathable, nice on a hot day.

I love this hat. It's lightweight, has SPF protection, wicks sweat, and dries quickly. It is very comfortable and can take a beating. No matter how dirty I've gotten it, I can always wash it clean in the washing machine.

I always wear a hat and I'm pretty picky. This hat is light and breaths really well, I hardly notice that I'm wearing it. I just put in an order for another one of a different colour.

I use the cap for protection from the sun. And it breathes really well. This is my third cap.

This hat is fantastic. I own two of them and will probably by at least a third or fourth. Since purchasing these I've not worn any other cap. It is comfortable to a follicle challenged head. with the top and mesh insert separated it breathes very well. Perfect hat for hot and humid Alabama.

Will probably buy a few more.

great warm weather hat or under a hoody for venting I own two one white for full sun and one blue for everything else these hats are my favorites for looking good and working well

Great/lightweight/breathable hiking hat. No issues, nice colors, stays put, ventilates better than any other hat. Please make more lighter colors (light blue, light pink...). Even the pretty blue and pink can be too dark for Colorado sun.

Breathes well, wicks, and is very light. No sore spots from wearing it day after day. Also my new favourite hat. I want every colour, but what would that say about me?

I always struggle to keep hats on while running, even in the winter. The Swift Hat has become my go-to for a hat that doesn't cause me to overheat whether running or hiking. Great shade and great venting.

Only hat I now wear for hot weather, sunny weather trail running. In the New England forest it runs cooler worn backwards and works as a decent sweat band when you don't need the visor side up front for the sun. Dunk it in a stream and it stays even cooler thanks to the mesh shell. Very easy to wash out the sweat, durable, keeps its shape far better than a regular ball cap. ORANGE for hunting season please!

PLEASE BRING BACK THE ORANGE COLOR! The Diablo orange is the best color but is discontinued now. Great hat, I have many other colors but really want the orange one back. If you have any left over at all for sale please email me. Thank you!

This is my favorite hat. I've since lost 2, and they don't offer the best color at the moment. Please bring back the orange color!!!!

A really great cap. I have a problem with most hats because my head sweats a lot, and they don't allow sufficient air in. This cap breaths beautifully, and is stylish and comfy.

My go-to hat for summer hiking and running for the last two years. Very light and my head never feels warm even in direct sun. Really never even notice that I'm wearing it.

This hat has it all. Lightweight, good looking, good fit, good ventilation that stays cool in Summer heat. All in all, just a great hat....

This is a must have for the summer heat. It's super lightweight and with the vented sides my head never gets too hot. Love it.

Great warm weather hiking hat and a favorite of my brothers for long distance runs. Durable and handles washing well. Wick drying. My go to summer hat

The Swift Cap rocks. I'm bald, so I needed a hat to keep the sun off my head during long runs. It has exceeded my expectations. Light and ventilating, the Swift Cap now sees use for just about any activity that calls for a hat. I've got it in Khaki, but I've been so impressed that I'm going to go back and get one in Black and another in Evergreen. As a bald guy, I have a lot of hats, but I've never ordered multiple hats of the same style---this one's that good!

Not much more to say than BEST CAP EVER. I'm a cap and beanie guy and the Swift is, without doubt, the best cap I've ever owned and I have one or thirty of them. Super light weight, crazy durable and an awesome, low-profile look. And as one who sweats as if there's a faucet on my head, I really appreciate being able to run it under some water and watch the white from the sweat fall away without any staining. OR nailed it with the Swift.

I bought this hat for my husband for the summer. It has been absolutely everywhere with him and still looks great. I would recommend this for anyone who wants a lightweight hat!
