Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Performance Trucker - Trail

This hat 100% IS adjustable, despite what other review says. This is not a one-size hat, there is a plastic buckle at the back and the nylon webbing/strap adjusts on it like you would expect. Fits my head fine in the middle of the "size range" and I wear a 7 3/8 baseball hat (New Era 59Fifty). Nice alternative to what most "running hats" look like. I like the material of the brim, its flexible and seems to bounce back from being stuffed in a backpack very well. Because of this the brim won't conform to your favourite curve if that's your thing. Light, breathable, sweat washes out easily. I just wear mine into the shower when it gets stained, massage it with my hands in the water and let it air dry.

cool, tough, and abusable.... The flexfit tech along with adjustable rear strap creates a perfect fit for rowdy activities. Feels like a cap that will last for years

Love this get, I'm glad and normally trucker hats itch my head. This one is comfortable and the bill bounces back after being in a pack or pocket what ever.

Love this hat. Perfect go-to for backpacking and hiking. Super flexible, and wicks moisture. Comfy hat that can handle tons of wear

This is my go-to hat for just about everything. I wear it for ski touring, under a climbing helmet, and can even wear it to work and casually when I wash it. It's super durable and lasted many seasons, and the flexible brim doesn't look dorky. I bought one in each color, keep making this hat OR! Only critique would be to remove the button on the top of the hat to make it more compatible with helmets.

I use this hat on a daily (non-winter) basis. It is very lightweight and has a fully vented rear. This hat is very comfortable and keeps my face out of the sun. I'm not fussy with a flat brim style but this hat is designed to be crushed and collapsed and then be able to be shaken out and worn so that is the purpose over a fixed style. Highly recommend this hat if you're looking for some protection from the sun and heat.

Contrary to what another reviewer said before, the back buckle is fully adjustable. Though not the sexiest, this is the most comfortable hat I own. It's light too, lighter and more comfy than the Ultra Performance trucker, which doesn't make sense. My go-to had for hiking and running. I love it so much that when I lost it after 1 year of use, I immediately ordered another one.

This hat is awesome!!!! The lower profile crown fits my head great. I normally wear Mediums in sized hats. I am going to buy again in the other color. I've used it already for a trail run and just kicking back. I also plan to use it on my hunt out west later this year. Seriously, BUY THIS HAT!!!

This is my favorite hat ever. I use it for everything from bouldering and gym climbing to on the skin track during long uphill approaches while split boarding to casual everyday wear. Its always in my pack and is easily my go to hat. Flexible brim means it wont pop off my head on the rock wall. Easily the best feature is that it is fully washable. I have washed mine numerous times and unlike other comments it shows no wear. Hats used for active use get gross but not this one. Might run a little small for some but fits me perfectly. Would love to see it in more colors!!!

First weeken I had this hat and it was great! From hiking mountain trails to a hot open field for a blues festival it kept me cool and protected. Looks great too, even wore it to a nice Thai restaurant in the middle of it all. Functional and stylish - will be wearing this on the trails, kayaking and in town as well.

My favorite hat of all time , please do not stop making them gonna buy a couple just in case you guys do ! Just got this hat couple weeks ago and I pretty much sleep in it !

The quest for the perfect hat is over! Usually when I wear a hat while I'm hiking or running the hat just absorbs all my sweat once it's reached its threshold the extra sweat runs down my face and into my eyes. I usually have to wear a buff under my hats to combat this but now I don't have to! This hat is so lightweight and breathable it's like I'm not wearing a hat at all. I also have a really small head and have a hard time finding hats that aren't giant on me. This one fits perfectly! I love how easily this folds up into my pack or running vest and when it gets nasty I can just throw it in the wash. My only complaint is that all the design is really plain. I wish there were more fun colors and graphics like the rest of OR's trucker hats. Then I could definitely justify adding more of these hats to my collection!

This is the perfect hat. It is comfortable, dries quickly, breathes well, works great with sunglasses, seems very durable, and looks great. I've used it when backpacking in both hot and cold weather, but mostly wear it as my main casual hat nearly everyday. I've had it for over a year, and the only sign of wear is just the sweat stain that I've added to it, but that is fairly easily cleaned if you care to do it. A quick rinse in the sink, and it looks brand new again. I bought another one just so I have a backup! Note: I have trouble finding hats that fit due to having a slightly lower crown, but this hat feels great for me.

Just love the fit and feel of this hat. Have two colors and want OR to make more! Yes, it is a small fit hat, not a bulky "trucker" design IMO. Thanks

Love the hat. Stylish, functional, overall the only performance hat that you can wear while running or hanging out. Looks cool and functions great.

This is easily one of the best purchases I've made. It's the only hat I've ever owned that fits JUST RIGHT. I've tried many trail hats over the years and this one is not too deep, shallow, it's super durable, and you can pack it and forget it. Most traditional trucker hats have to be babied and lose their shape due to poor construction, not this one. It's perfect in all the right ways. NEVER STOP MAKING THIS HAT....Please :)

I own this hat in grey. I wear this hat to work daily. I wish it were black for that reason. But I'd buy it again in grey for wearing in the sun. The bill is slightly soft. In the store I thought it might be a problem but it was made it more comfortable. The wicking headliner is soft against my forehead. Please OR, make this hat in black. I'll buy enough of them to last the rest of my life! I own four others OR hats, different styles... I like this one the best!

I bought this hat for hiking and running. I have a big head, so most "one size fits all" hats are a bit on the small side (for reference the sun runner hat is a tad small on me but I still wear it and love it). But this hat was super small. I gave it to a friend, and he likes it.

... it would be this hat! I bought this hat just before a week at the lake. As a test I only brought this hat on the trip. I wore it for paddleboarding (floats!) , spikeballin' , cornholin' and doc sitting. It looks darn good, too - good enough to wear to the ice cream stand and other public places. But the real litmus test was a run on double track and dusty dirt roads exposed to a blazing sun. Wearing the hat was cooler than not wearing a hat - and that's the whole point, right? I would call it a "semi-structured" design; there is a small amount of firmer mesh to keep the front panel from sitting directly on your forehead and causing a conductive heat exchange. Plus a couple of vents in the front panel. And of course the back is all mesh, so breathes really well, you can feel a breeze. We got back from the lake yesterday. I now have access to my excessively large collection of hats yet I continue to wear this one. And in fact I sent two of my hats to Goodwill - one a super geeky trail runner, one a Brooks road runner. Neither was as versatile or good looking as this one. So I guess you could say another benefit of this hat is that it will reduce clutter!

Great hat with smaller profile. Will say this hat is great for any high pace activity or just hanging around the water.

I ordered this hat after I inquired about the fit vs the swift hat. I prefer a low profile" hat best.This hat is a lower profile than most other "trucker" hats. I love the fit and found it to be the most comfortable hat I have. The hat is easy to fold and seems to retain its shape well so far. I would note that the bill is straight and is not one that can be "rolled" like most baseball caps.Very light....the mesh is very soft in the back, I am curious to see well the front section will breathe....

The biggest reason I love this hat is because I think it looks great. I have it in grey-and it's a bit hipper than the usual running hat. The second reason I love this hat is because it's durable-I coat that thing in sweat and salt and then when I wash it, it looks as good as new. It's lightweight and perfect for sunny runs. My boyfriend likes it so much he's ordering his own-but in a different color so we won't be twins. ;)

Great dirty work/ activities hat

I bought this for my husband because he always complains that his hats get squished, and this hat advertises that it is squishable without getting ruined. Well, my husband says that's because this hat is squished to begin with. Lol. He still wears it, and has remarked that it wicks sweat well and dries quickly. He has also said that he won't be caught wearing it in town because the "cockeyed-squishy-hat look" is not what he is going for. Lol again.

I like the thought of this cap. The bill is flexible and soft. The only thing I don't like is the size adjustment buckle. It should be Velcro instead of a plastic buckle. While the buckle functions perfectly, the strap sometimes adjusts on its own when I take it off. It slips occasionally. Use Velcro next time. The cap is so soft and then you put a hard buckle. The retro fit in fatigue color is great.
