Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Advocate Cap

Literally going to order several and stockpile them because I'm worried I'll lose mine and OR will have stopped producing. Have had for a year - is faded, salt stained, but no real wear / fraying. The stretch makes it one of the most comfortable hats I own, and lets me really snug it down when windy on a ridge etc. Wear it hiking, backcountry skiing, running, around town, as a eye shade on planes.

My hat size is 7 5/8 (big). This hat fits well. Four snaps overlap comfortably because of the flex technology. The website examples don't show the overlapping center seam that comes to a point on the front panel. Don't let this stop you; great quality, sharp unique look. I will be buying more colour combos.

I probably will never find a hat I enjoy more than this one. This hat is the first piece of OR merchandise I ever bought. It caught my eye because it just looks cool. I picked it up and could immediately feel the quality. I wear this hat almost every day now and look forward to wearing when it's ten years old and older. It might be a little dirty and smell a little sweaty, but I have no doubts that it'll still be around and still be my favorite.

This is hands down the most comfortable out of the box hat that I have ever had. It has the Flexfit technology built into a snap back style hat so it stretches to fit your head even if you are between snap adjustments. I love wearing this hat everywhere and will definitely be buying it in other colors. The mesh breaths well and is soft enough to where it doesn't hurt year ears like some others that I have. It does sit a little higher in the crown than a lot of hats but it still looks great. Definitely buy one!

I've been looking for a new trucker's cap to wear on adventures. This one blows all others out of the water! The mesh is a tight, sturdy weave that allows a breeze but also protects your head more than other caps of this style, the brim is flexible but sturdy and most impressive is that the cap has some flex/stretch to it, which was a nice touch! The band stretches just a little to give you a perfect fit. My head is pretty large and this fits well. Thanks OR!!

Great hat but a little too tall for me. I'll still wear it cause like good

Cool. Fits perfect

This is the third black advocate trucker I've bought over the past 3.5 years. I find that this hat fits my head very well and does not irritate the top of my ears unlike many other brands. The only downfall of this hat is tthat the black colour fades quickly; however, most black hats do this over time. I don't go easy on this hat either. This is the only hat I typically wear whether it be casual, hiking or for work. This is likely a contributing factor for it fading.

Happy with the style, fit and comfort.

Perfect fit!

Great pick up for those tough hair days.

It's a good hat

Bought all for myself

It's a nice hat. I put it on my head and things are alright.

I've had lots of comments on this hat. Great colors, mesh on the back for ventilation. Great for casual activities.

I tend to wear one or two hats for every single activity, whether that be in the middle of a stream or a patio. I've only had this hat for a few weeks and it is already showing signs of fading colours. The hat itself is what I expected, I just didn't think it would wear that quickly.

The hat is nice but it's a deep cap. Didn't fit me head well at all. Great otherwise

I own more ball caps than any person should own (over 50), including trucker hats from pretty much all major outdoor brands. This hat is very comfortable, however the front sticks up much higher than any of my other hats, almost to the point I wont wear it because its so high. (And no, none of my other trucker hats are the "low pro" style)

When I find hats I like I tend to wear them a lot. This one fits excellent and for the price is a great hat. However, I would not get black as the hat faded extremely quickly. it could be that I wore it all the time, but still faded quickly in my opinion.

Nice hat but sticks up to far, kinda looks funny
