Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Sun Runner Cap

I run 25-30 miles a week outside in Los Angeles and have found this hat to be the greatest of its kind in avoiding sunburn. It fits securely, the materials are lightweight and soft against the skin. The coverage is a perfect shield against the sun. I feel as if I am under a shady canopy the whole time I'm wearing it, and my vision is not interfered with at all. It's quite nice to run in. The flaps don't get all soaked and sloppy either and theres a toggle on the straps to keep a sturdy locked in fit. I hope they never discontinue this style. Just don't be scared of how ugly it is.

Bought my first over a decade over and the hat still looks virtually brand new. Has held up to many washing machine cycles even. Perfect option for backpacking rather than wide brim sun hats which aren't conducive with brain compartment of pack. Recommend ordering size up if you're head measures at larger end of size range.

Nice sun hat, great fit and well made.

Great product, well made and fit well.

Best hiking hat for sunny, hot days, thank you for this product!

I have worn this hat on several hiking trips. Definitely protects from the brutal Florida sun. I also like the fact that I can remove the neck shield if I need to. The bright color helps me find my head when I get lost :)

Just what she wanted

I have been wearing O.R. hats for years. I wear a XXL size hat and have never found another hat that fits and feels this good. The sunshade is detachable and works very well. It really protects the back of my neck while hiking. A favorite bite spot for flies etc. When I am really hot I sometimes run my hat under cold water, then wring it out and put it back on. It dries super fast. These days I fly r.c. helicopters so the Sunrunner hat comes in handy for sun protection. If you have a XXL hat size (or smaller) I think you will find the O.R. Sunrunner the best baseball style cap you have ever worn.

I've spent much of my life outside and the sun is starting to take its toll on me and I need a little extra protection when I'm outdoors. I recently bought this for. 4 day backpacking trip and I loved it. It's my go to for any prolonged sun exposure, it shades the right amount of sun while leaving a good sight window when hiking and you don't over heat when the sun gets cooking.

The positive reviews are spot on, this really is the best hat for the job. Light and functional, shade when you want it, and stands up to the wind when broad brimmed hats won't. I've used it extensively on long runs in high UV settings and I couldn't be more pleased.

Honestly a good looking cap, the sun shade for the back of my neck/head is great. Sizing is perfect, just measure before hand and get the correct size.

Just what I need for long days out on the water - or even an hour. Keeps my skin cancer at bay!

It's been really hot here in Hawaii this Summer. Instead of donning the baseball hat/neck gaiter, I decided to give this hat a try. We recently ventured into the ocean (SUP) on a breezy/sunny day and paddled around for 3 hours... The cap protected my neck and cheek areas well. The drape of the hat fluttered in the wind, but it did not bother me much due to the lightweight material. I plan to use this on my hikes and fly-fishing the flats for bonefish.

I use the hat 3-5 times a week for outdoor adventures. Great sun protection, keeps sweat out of my eyes, and isn't hot on those extra hot days. That OR made it in XL is the best. I'm a big headed dude and this fits perfect.

Love it. It's not too hot and it does it's job well.

Very comfortable and super lightweight. Originally bought to use for hiking and kayaking.Now use it all the time. Great product

I needed to cover my throat after my throat surgery and then ongoing radiation and this hat was it. Breathable, light and stylish, it acts like a blanket to protect my sensitive skin.

Great for shade, helpful keeping bugs out of my ears.

Sun protection+ Very comfortable

Great quality - love the versatility of the removable neck cover

With this hat. I wear it biking, driving, walking, etc for basically full coverage. The front of my neck is sometimes exposed depending on wind etc but it's as great as I'd expect! Highly recommend.

I bought this for my 12yr old son who kept getting burnt no matter how much sun screen he put on while touring. It fits perfect, great wrap, stayed cooled in the middle of the day, almost looks like something out of Star Wars.

I found the adult version of the sunrunner to be too fiddly and fussy with the snaps, Velcro, and drawstring. I bought the children's version of the sunrunner in size large (comparible to a ladies small) and absolutely used it all seasons, from the Canadian Rockies in winter to the Andes in South America. It fits under my climbing helmet and with the Velcro done up shields from the blazing sun, blowing sand and dust, and icy winter winds. Unfortunately someone broke into our vehicle and stole it along with some gear. When I went to buy another sunrunner, the sizing had somehow changed and the children's large was too big, bigger than a ladies small. I ended up buying a children's medium because it seemed to fit similar to the previous large, but the flaps are a bit small and the Velcro rubs. I went looking for another large recently, but it seems to be out of stock everywhere. I love this hat. It's been my go to for years and I'd be sad if it was discontinued. Why do away with such an amazing product?

Good fit, good coverage. The bill could be a tad bit longer would be only negative

Bought this for sailing. Keeps the sun off your neck and out of your eyes.
