Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Swift Cap

It's neither zinger nor reflective. The color is not one of a green ball, it's yellower. The writing is not reflective, it's black. Another color Swift Cap I have, ripped after three washes. Still, it's nice.

Not that protective

Clasp needs improvement. Liked the hat so purchased a new one when clasp broke thinking maybe would have a better clasp by now. Hoping it can be improved in y to he future.

Hat seems well designed but the "one size fits all" is a little tight for a larger head.

Quality seems nice. Bought for my son to have one like dad and this fits the bill. Has a slick coating on the outside so precipitation won't absorb. We'll really get to try it out this winter but quality is on par with everything else I've purchased from OR.

Wish the crown was a little deeper but the materials are lightweight and breath well. The adjustment buckle in the back holds well and doesn't slip like others I've used.

Nice cap for running but the "one size fits all" style really means fits no one well. Would better suit a medium sized head, for me it ends up sitting a bit high and is easily blown off.

Great light weight fabric. Good visor the only thing is one size doesn't fit all! I have a small head and can't cinch it tight enough to secure it from a small gust of wind. It wouldn't take much to fix this for those who are my size!! For the price I should not have to do a home alteration!

Good build, but too large for my head. And they don't make it smaller...

Nice hat but a bit expensive for what it is

I bought this hat when I worked at LL Bean 5 years ago. I like the hat but the bill is no longer straight. No matter how I position it, I can't get it to look correct.

One of the best hats made, but they really need a large/xl option for bucketheads. The only other options for us are more flat bill styles. This hat fits me like a Yamaka.

Nice, but why do so many products come in OSFA? One size fits a small percentage of the population.

I bought one and lost it. It wasn't a total loss since the bill was crooked. I bought another one since I like OR products. Well I received another that was CROOKED!!

This hat is salmon/pink. Not orange. I wanted an orange hat.

Love the hat but super disappointed in the color of the sunset reflective. Looks orange online but it's actually a salmon pink.

The brim is very rigid, it's impossible to put it in the pocket. I have an old OR running cap that has foldable brim and it's prefect.

I've had 3 of these hats. I used to love them. The last two (one purchased 2020 just before a trip down the main fork or the Salmon has a deformed bill as did the one before it. It is much longer down one side. It functioned well but looked ridiculous. Fortunately, I won't have to worry about the hat any longer as I flipped my duckie in a rapid and lost the hat! Fortunately, someone had a spare trucker for boating and I had my OR Sombriolet for off the river. Sombriolet is the best sun hat ever. Anyhow, no more swift hats for me. Fool me 2x, shame on me.

I ordered the small/medium. I usually use a medium and this hat is a little too big.

The visor underneath is too short for the top and pulls the visor into a tight curve. I have 2 other Swift caps that do the same thing. Annoying and disappointing but otherwise my favorite hats in the world

This is nice cap. Well ventilated and much light weight compared to your typical trucker cap. The only problem I have is with the quality of the dye used in the cap fabric. I only have mine with less than 1 year. I only hand wash mine, but the color has faded. I strongly recommend not to get the Fatigue Color, as the color has faded to pretty much grey. The first photo shows what the current color is. The second photo shows the reverse side of the fabric and you can clearly see the color is slightly more green. I bought mine in Tokyo at a major outdoor store when I traveled there. Don't know if that is just a bad batch. If it weren't for the color fading quality issue, this is a great cap and Fatigue color is pretty darn nice.

I have two of these one for my wife and one for me both have a crooked bill other than that it is a nice hat I just wish it looked like a nice hat.

I bought one of these hats many years ago and still have it. Faded and stained a little. Loved it but wanted a new one. Order the dark green one and was excited to get it. Unfortunately the quality of the craftsmanship was not the same. The bill is crooked and attached off center. I only wear it working around the yard so no one sees it. Still bugs me always trying to tilt it so it feels right but doesn't.

The hat is fine but you refuse to take me off your emailing list. I don't want any more communication!!!
