Perfect lightweight hat
I bought this hat with a very specific goal in mind. I wanted it to be very light and breathable (it fits both of those perfectly), and to fit under a climbing helmet for mountaineering. It has been perfect for meeting that need and I love this hat so much. Only thing to look out for is on windy ridges be sure to tighten it down a bit, almost lost over a cliff side. Great hat, I’m sure it would be good for running or whatever other sunny activities you do!

Good fit for small heads!
It’s been a challenge to find well fitting hats for a smaller head and this works well for my smaller head! I wear it for work as a ranger and it’s so light and breathable! I appreciate the less obvious logo also
