i tried this hat and the AFO hat. The AFO hat fits with a relatively shallow/average depth on the head but since my hair is very straight/smooth (Asian heritage), I often find that shallow-depth hats don't feel secure on my head and will slide off. This hat fits with more depth and remarkably, it weighs lighter than the AFO hat (according to the website). There is a bungee cord adjustment on the back, so I can really make this as secure as possible on those windy day runs. This is comfortable, great size brim, waterproof (at least I saw water beading off easily), and a nice neutral gray color that suits so much of my backpacking and athletic gear. I'm a little disappointed that I don't see this sold on the website anymore since it does fit a niche of a deeper fit hat that is still lightweight (no zipper bells and whistles). Please consider continuing to sell this!

I lost my first so bought a replacement.

Absolutely love this cap. So much that I’ve bought 3. I keep losing them because they get snatched before they make it back to the closet. I suspect my husband is hiding them somewhere because he’s discovered how awesome they are!

Having approached the basically bald stage of life, I’ve gone through quite a few different running hats over the past few years. I think this might be the best one yet. No mesh panels, so I feel better about the sun protection I should be getting without those, and it seems to stand up incredibly well to water, both sweat and rain. It breathes well, but also seems to shed or capture sweat up top, rather than sending it pouring down my forehead and toward my sunglasses or eyes. I ran 5 miles in the rain with this hat this morning and was thoroughly impressed at how well it shielded, shed and/or absorbed water without leaving me feeling like it weighed a few pounds or leaving me constantly wiping my brow. I will definitely be getting another one of these…

Fits well, super light, using for ultimate frisbee!

Super lightweight and comfortable. If you like the brim flipped up it can be worn like that too. Dries quickly.

I really like this hat. It’s light, dries quickly, and fits even when I wear my hair in a bun, due to the adjustable string on the back.

Extremely light, well constructed and absolutely normal looking. Love it. If you want normal looking and lightest get it.

Have this hat to my husband for Christmas. He loves it

This is an excellent running hat, very lightweight, comfortable fit against forehead, flexible brim for easy packing but the best feature has to the be the tightening system. The simple pinch and pull to tighten clasp is perfect to adjust while running. In the cold weather I'll start my runs with a hat or hood on with this hat over it and I can quickly adjust on the fly when I want to drop the hat. I'm a big fan.
