I hate hats!
But love these!!! I've bought 4 just in case OR stops making them. I struggle to find hats to fit my massive dome, but these fit very comfortably. They're also light weight and not only block sun, mosquitoes, & ticks but also can be snugged to block wind from buffeting one's ears or retain a bit of warmth. The yellow, my fave, adds to conspicuity & safety.

One of the best trail hats on the market
Used this item for the first time on the high sierra trail and it was a game changer. I didn’t have to worry about getting my neck burned during the day and could easily take the back off in the morning and the evening. Doesn’t matter if you are a first timer or experienced hiker, this hat is awesome. The only criticism I have, is the built in vents on the side aren’t the most breathable so you can run a little warm if you have the hat on all day.

Great Protection and Adjustability
I’ve put this hat through the wringer and it holds up so nicely. On daily runs or long hikes through the Grand Canyon is my go-to. It breathes really well and protects you from the sun. There have been time where I’ve removed were I’ve taken the neck protection off while on the move and it’s so simple and fast. I also like when it hot there’s still good ventilation underneath.

This sun cap is excellent when I'm in exposed environments. I use it when I'm running on roads/mountains without tree coverage.

Nice hat with unruly brim
Love the hat but the brim is always crooked. I have three of them and the brim on each is always off kilter. No matter what I do to fix it they always end up looking goofy.

LIFE SAVER
I have owned two of these sun-blocking (read cancer-blocking) caps and I lost both so I'm buying another. Great design, etc. I just don't like the colors so I buy white ones and dye them in shades of pink and red myself. Outdoor Research: Give us some Pink & Red hats and clothes. The other negative is that it's hot as Hades wearing them in 90-something heat. I wish they were better ventilated.

Sun Blocked on Runs
This hat stops a lot more sun than regular caps. It is also a pretty cool hat, meaning you wont get too hot.

Best Running Hat
This hat is very comfortable and offers excellent sun protection. It is a smaller hat as in the headpiece is not deep like a trucker hat. I got a medium and it fits perfectly. Having a less deep headpiece makes it possible to wear sunglasses or over the ear earphones comfortably. The sun cape is attachable by to buttons. The adjustable chin strap allows you to keep sun protection even in windy conditions.
