Our most popular training hat, the Swift cap has sun protection and a full mesh liner crown for superior ventilation in warm weather, while the shaped brim and nylon panels offer serious protection from the sun.

Review: Best hat I've bought to keep cool - I purchased this hat to keep me cool when hiking. I've purchased a few hats for this purpose but this is the only one that has worked. It super light, breathable, reflects the sun & fits perfectly as it's easily adjustable. Because the peak is structured, it doesn't flop around in the wind like other hats I've bought. Being hypercritical, I wish the mesh sides were a lighter colour to better reflect the sun. Instructions say you can machine wash it but not tried this yet. Overall very happy with the purchase.
Review: Excellent Baseball Cap for sweaty heads! - For mountain hikes I would usually wear a run of the mill black Nike baseball cap. However, although being black and not exactly wise to wear in hot sun, even on cooler days I was getting fed up of how drenched my head was getting - not to mention the white salt lines from the sweat. The Outdoor Research cap is very lightweight and thin with the additional benefit of the mesh sides for air flow and venting. It's well made and doesn't appear to have faded in the sun so far. It has also survived being machine washed a few times so I'd say this is a pretty decent buy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Ehat "osfa" means? is in the "size options" and the price of the cap increase a lot!**
A: osfa = One Size Fits All. Cool, comfy and adjustable, it's the best hat that has ever been on my mostly bald head.

**Q: How will this hat do in the clothes washer ?**
A: Tag in the hat says: "Machine wash cold.  Do not bleach.  Drip dry.  Do not iron.  Do not dry clean."  I just washed it in my front-loading washer (with load of shirts) and hung to air dry.  It dries quickly due to the nylon material and came out great, looks new, no damage.  Based on other garments, I have found this type of material to be durable.  Nice to be able to wear this hat for exercise/outdoor activities and throw in the washer.  Love the hat! and own multiple colors.

**Q: Does this hat have reflective material?**
A: This item/hat does not have a reflective material.

**Q: What is the definition of a shaped brim ?  All brims are shaped.  Is the arch higher & narrower than the typical baseball cap ?**
A: It means that the brim is firm in feel. I can't say that it is a thin plastic sheet inside the brim, but it is stiff enough that whatever is inside will prevent the brim from ever distorting. SUPER comfortable cap!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent sun protection for top of head: lightweight with mesh at the sides for ventilation.
*by D***E on 25 May 2023*

I've bought this cap several times (in different colours) for myself and other hikers. It's fully adjustable at the back, so should comfortably fit any adult head. A good brim. Lightweight with ventilated side mesh. I've used this cap on long and short hikes and it's the best I've found. Works well with sunglasses, or under a rain jacket hood.
