Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Sun Runner Cap

I'm a skin cancer survivor, this hat provides all the face sun protection I had expected.

This is a great all around hat and my go to for hiking and traveling. One excellent characteristic that gets overlooked is the performance in chilly, windy weather. No one will mistake it for a winter hat, but pulling the flaps down and cinching the neck strap go a long way to keep your head and ears out of the wind and from getting cold. I wore it early spring hiking in the Smoky Mountains and when the wind was blowing in the 30s, it took enough edge off to keep me from feeling uncomfortable.

I use this cap in hikes as a sun protection. It works great, very light, breathable and easy to use.

I use this in 110 degree hikes and I like the the brim or bill does not extend too far out, allowing me to see. Snaps are sturdy and the cap is foldable and can fit into a cargo pocket. I like the tie off on the flaps but I which there were snaps a little bit further back so you could snap them out of the way and expose your ears when needed. size ran a little small for me.

This was a gift for my son. He loves the hat, wears it in the pool in the morning for walks and riding his bike. Protects against the sun and he doesn't find it hot.

This is my go to hat for anything outdoors. In addition to keeping the sun off your neck and ears, it is a physical barrier against bugs. The material wicks well, a real plus. The cap wears like iron and can be washed repeatedly (use a laundry bag) and comes out clean in the delicate cycle with a sport type detergent. I don't know what the brim is made of but it doesn't get soggy or loose it's shape. Getting the right size is key to comfort and coverage, go larger if in doubt.

This hat has been a staple on every hiking, trekking and mountaineering trip over the past 14 years. In fact I'm still wearing the one I bought in 2006! I love the fact that it hasn't changed in all that time and that it hold up wash after wash no matter what I do to it. In the summer I soak the "skirt" in permethrin to keep the mosquito's at bay. I finally decided to purchase another one in a different color. :)

Use it for yard/garden/farm work and it is incredible. Lightweight, sweat wicking, with way better sun protection than the bucket hat I used before.

bought for significant other. they were super juiced for having it for doing land work and fishing. dude has a large head plus hair with volume and xl fits fine especially because of the adjustable rear

Sun runner cap works great! Very happy with it! Even on windy days it works well.

Excellent quality and design. The perfect purchase for me.

Hiking, Biking (fits under helmet), and long duration yard work. Blocks the sun, and remains cool.

I have a lot of hair so I got a size up from my typical. Works perfectly. So lightweight!

Love this hat. Can keep the drawstring tight for maximum sun protection, or loose to allow more of a breeze through it. Beats wearing sunscreen 100%

Works great for hiking

Great hat for sun protection. Extremely comfortable.

Perfect for keeping the sun off my neck and face. The product is exactly as described and really good quality.

great sun protection for sunny days on the water, feels very light.

This hat will be my protection from the sun on my Baja Divide bikepacking trip January, 2021. I love that this hat is available in different sizes.

Great hat. Very durable, and fairly cool. Sun enclosure is removable to make a baseball cap. Perfect for sunny days on glaciers or snow. I have not got a sun burn while wearing this hat, which is more than I can say for many other products. Not super stylish for use around town, and the string can sometimes be in the way, but overall a fantastic hat for winter or summer use on sunny days. Also fits under a helmet.

Purchased this for my son who has a hard time finding a good fitting hat. It fit perfectly. It's comfortable and provides excellent sun protection.

Looks good... light...

This is my second Sun Runner Cap. I wore the first one down to a rag. Good adjustable sizing, excellent sun protection. More colors, please.

Does this hat look goofy? Probably; however, it saved my but recently while travelling and hiking in the sun at altitude. I wore the hat (without the sun shade) for the city and then put the sun shade on when hiking and more exposed to the sun. Really versatile gear for someone who did not have the space for two hats. Also, surprising cool for a hat with so much coverage.

Best hiking cap for the summer time. Detaching and attaching the neck cover is a bit complicated for the first time. Buy the white version if exposed to the sun through out the hike
