Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Swift Cap

Just got this hat a few weeks ago, and I've worn it so much! It's super lightweight which makes it awesome for running, hiking, and just wearing around everyday. It can fold up/pack up small too, which makes it great for bringing along when I am wearing a bike helmet.

Nice fitting comfortable hat.

Super comfortable and low profile. Washes up nice and holds its form.

I've had one of these for 5 years and just got a new one, after my old one finally started to slightly lose shape and washing sweat marks out was becoming harder even after multiple washes. Compared to a normal hat, this held up really well and I wore it daily a lot of the year. It keeps sun off your head while being cool and light. It sheds water slightly, but once soaked dries really fast. A great choice for hot summer activities like hiking, the lake, etc. where you need the sun blocked from your eyes and face but want a bit of breeze. I think I like my OR Seattle Rain Cap slightly more, for looks and waterproofness, but it is not as breathable and more of a cooler weather choice.

The cap is very light and comfortable to wear. It dries quickly and has enough of a brim to shade sunlight and protect from rain. Most trucker caps I have to wear on the last two dots This hat has enough adjustment to fit my head just fine.

super lightweight, very breathable, big fan of this hat for running!

This running cap's lightweight sun protection feels like a feather, and looks great. Highly recommend!

Great for running and hiking. I have two caps in different colors.

Super comfortable and light weight, also actually very cute on.

The best hat for hiking and running out there. I have several of them in different colors. I've become a hero for recommending them to my friends. This hat blocks the sun rays and is well ventilated. This color hat meets the legal requirements for hunting big game in New York State.

I have 3 different colors. They are my absolute fav for running. They are breathable, lightweight and fits perfect even on a windy day. They do not fall off and they don't hurt your head either. Highly recommend.

Wonderful hat, just wish it had a loop for the back

Short answer: I love these Swift hats! My first went with me to Alaska and around the world. It got very lived in (i.e. worn) after 22 years & my wife insisted that I replace my beloved hat. My preferred color was actually on sale for the win-win-win.

I love this hat so much!! It's super lightweight, has SPF 40+ protection, it can be tightened so it doesn't fly away, and has a cool design that can be worn with many outfits! I keep one in my pack for hiking and another in my car for walks around town. There's so many colors to choose from- you can't go wrong.

Very lightweight and keeps the sun off my face.

Perfect. stretchy lightweight and airy. Have used it back country skiing so far on sunny days for uphill skiing.

This hat is great. Nice and lightweight, comfortable, and it doesn't have a velcro strap, so my sun hoodie doesn'| get caught on it.

Love these hats and have at least 4 different colors. My favorite by far is an older hat (true red) with the OR stitched into the cap. I would gladly pay a bit more for the stitched version than the newer version of this hat.

I have bought 9 Swift hats. It's the only hat I'll use for running. Perfectly ventilated and comfortable.

In the PNW, I also run with my Swift Cap. In the cooler wet season it helps keep me dry and warm. In the warmer part of the year, its lightness does cause me to get over heated but is great for keeping the sun out of my eyes. It's a great cap for all outdoors activities!

I love that this hat can be used for running or everyday wear. Perfect for vacations!

As someone who is picky about their hats, I finally found one that I continually go to. The hat is lightweight, breathable, and fits great. I have a couple of them. I use them for running and for just everyday wear. Would highly recommend!

I bought this cap for my backpacking trips. The cap style I was using before was too hot when hiking. I wanted something that was lighter weight and better ventilated. I'm not a big fan of trucker hats. I liked that this cap has a lower profile and looks good when on my head. Plus, there are lots of colors to choose from.

Great in the FL sun

Nice fit and material. I have a very large head 23". Adjustable strap worked fine. I bought two of these hats.
