Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Swift Cap

Great for outdoor activity in AZ - ventilated and handles sweat really well. Love my OR hats!

Great hat. The sun protection is nice. The mesh is light and airy. The adjustable band is hidden under the sweatband. It dries fast and doesn't seem to absorb that intense funk that multiple days on the trail can create! You need this hat!

Big fan of this hat. Ten of ten would buy again. It fit my big head.

I like this hat so much, I purchased two colors.

I used this hat during a Grand Canyon Rim to Rim To Rim challenge. Loved the hat. I completed the challenge in 25 hours. The hat did not. Unfortunately at some point in the middle of the night on my way back toward the south rim the hat blew off my head in a sudden canyon gust. I'm sure some squirrel or big horn sheep found it and wears it .

Use for fishing, hiking and backpacking. Fits great, good sun protection and good airflow

Nice fit - lightweight

Always my favorite hat- I can't have enough of them. Great fit, always cool (not hot).

Everything is great about the cap. Is light weight, provides great protection, the bill of the cap is the perfect length and it adjusted nicely to fit my large noggin.

Love this hat. Very comfortable, and effective for sweaty runs

I love this hat - perfect for hot summer hikes and even playing tennis.

I've worn the hat every day for the past month while hiking in Colorado.I was concerned that the light color would show sweat stains, but so far so good.

Keeps me cool even on my longest hikes and runs! Highly recommend.

This is my go to cap for outdoor everything, especially backpacking. It's comfortable, highly breathable, light weight, provides UV protection, the bill is not too long/not too short, fits precisely and snugly without coming loose, and has a sleeve for the buckle tail. Basically, it's perfect. Thanks OR.

Every day uses lightweight and airy.

I liked the one id gotten so much for hit weather jogging and biking that I got one in every color!!!

perfect fit and function

It's my running ball cap. I've been running for nearly 50 years. This is the best ball cap I have ever owned for running. It wicks away all the moisture and at the same time it doesn't get soaking wet. It's amazing. You guys designed a really cool looking and very functional cap. It puts all the others to shame. I own 4 of them! And i use them for everything, not just running, but keeping the sun out of my eyes when were out on the boat. Oh yeah, I almost forgot maybe the most important thing. I have a very large head, it's a melon. Most hats do not fit me, not even close. These swift Caps not only fit, But i've got room to spare. No, I don't work for OR, but I guess I could. I love their stuff!

Some background first. I live in the upstate of South Carolina and it is HOT in August. And humid. And I sweat a lot. But I love hiking. I generally don't wear anything on my head in the summertime while hiking. So I was really surprised and pleased when I tried the Swift Cap back in May. It's feather light weight. The built in sweat band works well absorbing perspiration. The Swift is easy and simple to adjust on the go. The ventilated sides make a real difference, The bill keeps the sun out of my eyes. And it has protection across the crown. I'd be hesitant to try it in a good hard rain but that's not the intended use I purchased it for. It appears surprisingly durable so far. I have put it through it's paces.I loved it so much that I bought one for my wife in July! This is an almost perfect summer cap.

Lightweight and really confortable. Love the style

Looks sharp. Dries quick.

These are awesome hats! Bought 3 for my husband. If you have someone with a smaller head these are really great.

Great hat and fit

This is a great hat. I use it when I go running and it breathes really well, allowing my head to stay cool. I can tighten it down when it is windy by using the adjustable strap in the back. I was worried that the side mesh would not block the sun and my head would get burned, but after wearing it for prolonged periods, I have had no issue with getting sunburned.

Great hat, great fit, lightweight and breathable. Bought two in different colors and love them!
