Waterproof Seattle Rain Cap keeps storms off while staying breathable on the move
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I keep the Seattle Rain Cap clipped to my pack for shoulder-season forecasts. The GORE-TEX 3L really is stormproof, but it still breathes when I’m hustling to the bus or hiking in a drizzle. The 3-inch brim sheds water off my glasses, the TransAction sweatband doesn’t get clammy, and the strapback fits clean under a hood. It’s a small piece of kit that makes a big difference on wet days."
When the sky opens up, the Outdoor Research Seattle Rain Cap turns a downpour into no big deal. We love how the fully seam-sealed GORE-TEX 3-layer construction blocks wind and rain while the TransAction sweatband wicks away heat and moisture on uphill walks, trail jogs, and wet commutes. The five-panel profile slides under a jacket hood, the 3-inch brim shields our eyes and lenses, and the strapback dial-in fit stays put when the gusts pick up. Light, packable, and Bluesign Approved, the Seattle Rain Cap is our everyday solution for staying dry without sacrificing airflow.

Light, Kinda Water Resistant
Please bring back the Black color way. Please!!!!!! Not bad, kinda water resistant. My friends make fun of me for the hat, but I like it.

Outstanding.
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought:
- one size for all. Adjustable
I love the green color. I like that the adjustable strap has a clip on it, so it can be hung from a loop without the need of an extra carabiner. The fit for me is perfect. Not too deep, not too shallow. The bill is just the right size. Oh, and super-light and waterproof. I've been looking for this type of hat for a long while.

Love this hat!
I bought this hat to replace a standard cap i was wearing with my raincoat to keep rain out of my face and it works like a dream! The old cap would start leaking and inevitably stop serving a purpose. But not this one! I have worn it on a couple hikes too! It is very light weight, adjustable, and most importantly it does what i needed it to! I highly recommend OR to everyone in general, but if you’re looking for rain or sun hat (or both) OR has you covered ( literally 😅)!

Lightweight, windproof, durable
I use this for trail running in freezing temperatures, for yard work when it's pouring and also for travelling. It's windproof, lightweight, I like the blue color, so what's not to like? I cannot use for temperatures below -10C or below 15F where I use a warm wool hat, otherwise this is what I call a AWD hat (All Weather Design)

Great raincap
This raincap is perfect. It complements any hooded rainjacket and keeps rain out of my eyes, without getting soggy wet..

Outstanding quality, perfect fit
Everything I've ever purchased from Outdoor Research has been first rate and this is, too. The gore-tex works perfectly and is both dry and breathable, the fit is excellent and the quality is obvious.
