Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Sun Runner Cap

Great product; velcro allows very quick adjustment for adding with a OR Peruvian when temperature changes. Cape is great for glacier travel; use your hat leash for pulling the sides closer. Beach colors not so hot; bring Black back or offer velcro option in the Swift.

I am on antibiotics that causes my facial skin to burn easily. This covers the most affected areas well and is still light and breathable. Exactly what I was looking for so I can continue to enjoy the outdoors in full sun!

-------- i use it for both running and for construction work - instead of a hard hat . it's always ready for yer head, you don't have to rearrange the drapes . or you can slam it on without looking and it still covers yer ears . . .

After a 671km self propelled 11 day mission these performed exceptionally well in everything from sun to torrential rain. Block the sun, bead water, dry quickly, vent with the cover removed, and stay on in all wind.

Picked up this hat because it has a ponytail hole and I love it! Took it on a multi day kayaking trip and it protected me from the sun. I usually hate sun hats but I was talked into this one since I always forget to sunscreen my ears/neck. For the most part, I forgot it was even on. There were a few times the cord/flaps got in the way when it was windy. I just pulled the cord up over the brim then cinched it down. Doesn't cover nearly as much that way but my ears were still fully shaded.

No further comment than above.

Lightweight & breathable, this hat does everything you want it to do. I like that I can use the neck-shade for hiking then remove it for running. Relatively cool for being full-coverage, it doesn't blow around too much or expose your skin in the wind.

I love this hat! It is very lightweight and comfortable to wear outdoors in the sun and heat. Perfect for running, walking, hiking, fishing etc.

This is a great hat for all around use, mowing the grass picking berries,fishing and hiking.

Barely feels like it is there. Blocks almost all sun, just need a touch of sunscreen on the nose now. Tried in light rain with a hooded jacket, did pretty good. If the rain is heavy I would recommend a different hat that is made for that.

It was a very hot, sunny day in Miami when I decided to clean the pool. I stepped outside to check the mail and the box with my hat was sitting on the step, several days before I thought it would arrive and I thought, this is perfect, I can wear it while I clean the pool. 3 o'clock in the afternoon, not a cloud in the sky, yikes I must be crazy. But I put on long pants for sun protection, put sunscreen on my arms, and put the Sun Runner Cap on my head. It kept my head cool, cooler than the straw hat I would have worn and kept the sun off my neck and ears. I was in the backyard where it was private and no one could see me, I wondered how I would feel wearing it in a more public environment. Then next day I decided to wear it when I went running around the local golf course near my home. Again, not a cloud in the sky, but it was much earlier in the day, and little after 8 AM in the morning but already heating up. At first I felt self conscious but I kept my head down and ran. After about 30 minutes or so I no longer felt self conscious, but smug and superior. All the duffers on the course wearing their bucket hats, getting sunburned on their necks, dumb, they should be wearing the sun runner cap. It wouldn't impede their swing and it would protect them. With my other cap, a regular, white baseball cap with a button on top, I would have to take it off every five or 6 minutes to wipe sweat off my head. With the sun runner, I took it off once at 25 minutes, then again when I finished running at 42 minutes. I performed exactly as I hoped and better than I expected. I won't run without it, or work in the yard without it.

Great head and neck sun protection

I saw a person running the MDS marathon across the Desert with this hat.if it can work there it can work anywhere.

I wear this when hiking, on runs, or just when out and about on a sunny day. The hat by itself is super comfy and provides good sun protection, and the easily detachable sun cape is awesome - shirts easily rub sun screen off of the neck area.

I love the protection on the neck and face this hat provides. It is well ventilated as well. The only thing I would change (not a big enough deal to lower the star rating) is make the bill a bit longer. I think that would increase the sun protection. This hat's bill seems a bit short.

I play tennis with it!

Provides excellent protection from the sun. The skirt comes off easily for when the sun is down.

I gave it for a gift for my husband, because he has been wanted to buy it.He wears it when go hiking and jogging.this is perfect for any situation. He loves it!

Perfect hat for daily wear without the cape, and with the cape this hat provides incomparable sun protection. Light weight and breathable and durable.

Keeps me protected from the sun

I took this along when I did the Colorado trail and I wore this hat every day for 28 days rain or shine. When I reached segments 18 and 19 I loved having this hat.

I wear the hat every time I hike. Fits well and is cool. The cape goes on and off very easily. It covers my neck and ears well.

I use the Sun Runner Cap when sea kayaking on the coast on Vancouver Island in the summer months. It affords superb protection from the sun while still being very stylish for casual wear.

Fantastic summer gear

Nice coverage from the sun! Light and comfortable.
