Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Swift Cap

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

Will probably buy a few more.

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!!!!

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....

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 have four of these hats! One in four different colors, which coincide with the four different "Best Uses" I mentioned in this review. The Swift Cap is super nice, fits great, and looks very nice/sporty. I highly recommend!

This is my favorite all-around hat. I have 3 of them and wear them constantly. The fit is shallower than most hats (at least on my big head) but is not enough to change my recommendation. The Swift is super light and super breathable. Hands down the best hat out there (along with the Revel for the rainy days).

Best hat for hot days in the sun. It's light, cool and fits perfectly

I start to use the this hat as soon as the weather warms up,and as soon as i need sun protection.Invaluable when hill walking/trekking. The fit is great,the peak not too long.The fact that it can be washed is a great benefit.

I bought two of these hats last year for my son & I. We use them whenever we head to the outdoors. They are comfortable & breathable. My son's hat had some stitching come loose last fall and I contacted OR and they sent us a replacement cap. Good customer support!!

Love this hat, it's lightweight, airy, and comfortable. The only reason it's not 5 stars is that the excess adjustment strap sometimes slips out of the hatband and dangles

Was looking for a low profile, light weight hat for all my outdoor activities. Ordered this hat and loved the way it fit. Unfortunately, I'm a female with a smaller size head and the hat was barely able to tighten enough to fit my head. Would love if the hat was available in more of a women's fit or a smaller size.

Great addition to my outdoor collection

I had the gray version and lost it on an airplane. Really nice light weight, sun proofing, breathable hat for any outdoor activity: hiking, climbing, boating, working. Only beef if the buckle wasn't reliable when clipping it to by backpack.

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.

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

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.
