Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Norvan Regular Brim Hat

Probably my favorite Arc'teryx product. It's so lightweight that I often forget I'm wearing it. The fit is great under all helmetswhether cycling or climbingwithout creating any weird pressure points. The lighter colors do collect dust, but they're easy to clean once you're back home. Dish soap does the trick. This hat is a must-have for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors wearing helmets!

Love this cap! It's lightweight as air, comfortable and the strap closure system is fantastic. You can choose size for perfect fit. Definitely buy one more!

Best hat for training and racing in very hot conditions. It held up well while racing sinister 7. Somehow the fabric is never dirty or holds salt stains. It's sturdy enough to dip in creeks yet it also packs very well and the brim is flexible. Highly recommend!

Overall this hat is great. It does what it says it does. It's incredibly lightweight, comfortable and the strap closure system is fantastic. I feel the brim is perfect for shading the sun and I genuinely would recommend it especially for running. I purchased the black version for a trail race in May and have used it multiple times in the gym as well. However, although it is a brilliant hat and great for intended purpose, I have come to realise I don't suit solid black. I bought the black as I wanted a more "solid" colour style as the other colours seemed to be more transparent on the head due to the fabric but in hindsight I probably should have chosen an alternative shade for myself.

Fabulous lightweight fabric!

I knew this hat was going to be lightweight but HOLY COW! Its ultra light! The adjustable cord is super easy to use and adjust even while wearing the hat. No need to remove it to tighten or loosen. The sun coverage is fantastic. The packability of this hat is incredible. The only fear I have about this hat is creasing the brim and have the crease not come out.

10 outta 10i can't find any negative issues Super light and packable

Purchased a month or so ago. Primarily use this for running. This is the best lightweight cap I have used! Typically lightweight caps will have a soft, flimsy brim that will flap around in the wind. This one stays in place perfectly. Love the elastic to tighten the cap on the strap. Very easy to adjust. Dries quickly and doesn't hold on to the sweat smell if you don't wash after a couple wears. Threw this in the wash with a mesh bag and came out great. No complaints fit or function wise. Only cons are: expensive and more colours.

Great lightweight hat. I have a very small head and the brim is not too big which is awesome!

Lightest, most breathable hat I own. Packs down to nothing and is my go to for high output activities.

This hat fits so well and is so light it disappears on your head. The fabric and headband dry quickly and it is by far the best hat I've worn for warm weather. Price is steep but for this hat it's worth it.

I find myself wearing this everyday (and neglecting all my other hats) - the "Forage" colorway goes with everything. The full size brim holds up to the wind without issue, and the hat is light enough that I barely notice it. The reflective logo and rear adjustment cord details are excellent. I had been waiting for this version of the Norvan hat to come back for a while, & I couldn't recommend it highly enough!

Love this piece for trekking, touring and everyday wear! The regular brim feels and looks like a 5 panel. Super thin, really nice to dunk in the river to keep cool in the hot sun. Very happy this piece is back!

I really wanted to like this hat and I still do to some extent but as other reviewers have mentioned the brim of the hat gets distorted so easily. I really like the material, fit and how the hat adjusts but I dont see a scenario where the brim doesnt get bent at some point and after that happens its impossible to get it back straight. At first it only slightly bothered me given the price of the hat, then a little more when it wasnt even in my peripherals while running and then I washed it cold cycle, let it air dry and then the material shrunk. Now I only wear it to keep sweat out of my face on indoor workouts.

I really wanted to like this hat. Overall it's a nice, lightweight, and comfortable. But there are a few flaws. The biggest thing I noticed is that for some reason the brim warped quite a bit after only a few wears and can't be reshaped. The other thing is that because of the lightweight and thin material, after every run it is completely coated in white salt and dried sweat. Sure it can be cleaned but it's a bit annoying to have to clean it that much after every run. I have a few other running hats and none of them have this problem this bad. Other than that, it probably would be a good hat for hiking or for people who don't run.

I never go running without my norvan hat! I've got relatively short hair and it tends to get in my face a lot but the norvan hat keeps this from happening and thus preserves my ability to see while running and also not have absolutely crazy looking hair at the end. Super lightweight which is everything in the summer, and works well to shield rain off your eyes in a light drizzle too.

I want to love this hat but I think the major flaw is with the brim. I'm using this mainly as a running hat and my main issue is that when there's a slight breeze out the brim will flip upwards because it is so light and unstructured. I would be willing to sacrifice some weight and packability in order for a sturdier brim. I obviously had to wear the hat in order to discover this so I'm out of the return, but for the price this hat should be flawless. Love the breathability and aesthetics otherwise.

I feel like I'm apart of the empire from star wars when I wear the hat lol! As for function it's great, light weight, breathable, the shape of the bill gets a bit wonky after a while (I've drenched this thing in sweat and got caught in some rain! Which will probably do it) it also stains easily ( don't quite know how I did it, probably hair care products?) other than that i suggest you try on the hat when you get a fresh haircut rather than a full head of hair so you can better judge which size you'd like, also to see if you'll look like gollum that is an imperial officer for the empire (unsure if the hat is worth the price though)

Worth it for me. I don't care about the cost - I have a small head and finally found a hat that doesnt look goofy. ONE SIZE NEVER FITS ALL. This is the only hat that I wear. One note is that it it is pretty delicate, I wouldnt want to take it anywhere through brush. Super light and great for running, it stains pretty easy but Ive been able to get everything out with a gentle wash. ARC PLEASE MAKE MORE SMALLER HATS THERES A HUGE MARKET FOR IT.

- luv the back enclosure......fully adjustable - fits over entire head - thin and breathable - easy to pack and store

Bought this hat for travelling in Asia this summer. Needed something light and breathable. Love everything about it but when I wore it for an extended hike in the sun the other day, the brim became completely warped. Pretty disappointing seeing as though the hat is eventually designed for exercise in warm weather.

Very happy with this hat. Love the color. I totally forget I am even wearing it, and I did not have any issues with the brim that others reported. Far lighter than the Ciele I have worn all of last year. Would have given 5 stars except for the price.
