Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Swift Cap

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 had this hat for about 10 years, wearing it maybe once a week for the first 7 years, and then wearing it nearly every day for the last 3 years. The adjustment strap started to rip, resulting in a warranty claim. OR honored it even after having the hat for 13 years! Thank you for standing behind your product. I love the hat otherwise. The ventilation on the top with added shade protection helps a lot in the hot weather.

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

I live in Florida, I own 4 of them & use them almost daily. One thing that annoys or frustrates about is that the adjustment strap in the rear of the hat does not have a keeper attached to the hat in order to hold the excess strap so the strap end dangles uncomfortably on your neck. I repeatedly have to try tucking the excess strap into the hat's seam which does not stay, so the strap dangling uncomfortably continues. Otherwise it's a great hat. OR, hope your reading this review & will consider adding a strap keeper to your Swift hat. Making it a perfect OR product; I'll buy four more

Came when they said it would. The hat is comfortable. It fits nice and looks even better. Would purchase another if it wears out IF.

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

High quality hat that is very breathable for high intensity activities. No complaints so far

I love how comfortable and well-fitted this cap is, but the colour is way more neon than the colour that the photo had suggested, which is a muted darker orange.

Very disapointed that you have changed the size of this product (one size only). This is one of the only technical hats that I have foud that fitted me perfectly and suited my purpose for running and hiking. Now I have two hats that I purchsed that feel very uncomfortable to wear.

I live in triple digit weather much of the year and this hat is sooo light and breathable! Great for field work or playing outside. Well made and durable too.

Got the Sunset Reflective it is realistically more of a salmon color than orange. I was hoping for a burnt orange colour or at least a darker orange colour. Otherwise it's a nice, lightweight, packable, and breathable hat.

This hat fits pretty well for my small head as it has a 5 panel design, but as with many hats the brim is too large. I'd say it's an average sized hat, I probably just need a children's size haha.

I have purchased many of these hats for me and my husband and have been happy with them. But just like Teresa's review the last one has a crooked bill. It's the rhubarb color. I didn't notice it until I had already worn it so I didn't try to return it. It looks bad but I still wear it for sun protection.

The Swift cap has gone with me on all my outdoor activities, be it walking, climbing, gardening or any other sort of outdoor pursuit! It is beautifully made and I wouldn't try another product since this suits me perfectly!! I finally lost the original cap somewhere in Italy and would only accept another one. Thank goodness OR continues to provide these fine products!

Love the Swift cap. Easy to adjust. Throw in the wash, drip dry & just like new again.

I loved this hat until I looked in the mirror. I thought it was the lettering at first but it's the bill that is crooked. So bummed.

Perfect fit and very breathable.

Use it at golf , at walk, Very convenient ,

I've been a Headsweats user for over 10 years. OR has them beat. This hat is cooler on a hot day, has a nice fit for my large-ish head, and pulls sweat away far better than previous hats.

I don't like wearing hats, but it's a must in Colorado with our intense sun. This hat is very light and comfortable, so if you have to wear one, this is a great one!

I wear this while I run. keeps sweat and sun out of my eyes. Highly recommend.

Best cap ever
