Fits great with adjustable clip in back
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- Only one size
Bought this as a lightweight running cap. It is easy to clean/wash and keeps the sweat out of my eyes. The clip in back is adjustable and can accommodate a ponytail with the easy to unclip and re-clip the clasp. Also, the mesh sides allow my head to breathe/vent so my head doesn't get too hot. Love this product so I bought two.

Fat head approved
I've been searching for a nice ultralight, trucker hat for months that fit's my fat head. This hat is exactly what I was looking for. Very nice for brutal sunny days. Fits underneath my climbing helmet nicely.

Great summer running hat that doesn't stink!
Super comfortable even for someone with a big head. Best part is that I've used it all summer and fall and it doesn't not stink!

I live in the SE US and summers can be very hot and humid. This hat provides sun protection and, more importantly, soaks up the large amount of sweat that doesn't evaporate. Light weigh, flexible and very comfortable. Highly recommend.

All around winner!
My new favourite hat! Running, hiking, climbing. Packs down small and doesn't have a bean on top (more comfortable under a helmet).

ultra light for walk, run , tennis; packable for cycling too
I own many Outdoor Research hats including swift run cap, and the Swift Air is my new favorite, that I even bought it in the full brimmed edition. It'll swiftly become your favorite too!

Love this hat, but unbuckles easily
Hat is great but its more for those who like a looser fit - if I try to make it tighter the clasp will not stay

Good hat, bad colors
Functionally great. Cool, protects from sun, keeps shape after squishing and stowing. Why does it have to be clown colors only? Make a black one.

Great for running and biking
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good airflow, sweat wicking, stays in place, and keeps my hair out of my eyes. No issues!

Last Running Hat You'll Need
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wicked light, wicked fast drying, wicked sick look. Love the fit, doesn't make my head look weird, and is very comfortable to wear, even when it gets hot and sweaty up there. This hat has the benefits of a trucker style hat (mesh back) without looking like a trucker hat (personally I look terrible in those). Loved it so much that when I lost it I immediately ordered another. Really is just a solid hat.
