Our Experience
As someone constantly juggling work and outdoor adventures, sun protection is non-negotiable yet often overlooked. That's why I picked up Outdoor Research's Swift Cap. Needed something light, breathable, and UPF 50 for my morning hikes before work. First impressions? It's like having a personal cloud over your face. The wide brim blocks glare beautifully, letting me focus on the trail ahead without squinting. And that mesh back panel? Game changer. Keeps my head cool even when I'm not. Loved it so much, I've been wearing it even on casual walks around town. The Swift Cap's also incredibly light and packable. Slips into my bag easily, ready to go whenever I am. It's held up well too, after a couple of weeks' use - no signs of wear yet.

I like these so much I have three colors of this same hat. Perfect for travel, hiking, and everyday wear. Folds down pretty small so it’s easy to pack or tuck away until you need it. Very breathable so I don’t overheat when it’s hot. I also use them to make rainy walks much more pleasant - they keep the rain off my face very well, and they dry quickly. I’m not sure it’s recommended but I throw them in the wash when they get stinky - the brim sometimes gets a little wonky (the bend goes off cente
The hat met my expectations for fit and coolness. I've got a 7-1/4" hat size and the adjustable strap enabled it to fit just fine. It is quite airy with mesh all around and exposed directly to air on the sides. I like the fabric strip across the top, as it is light enough to breath while also blocking sunlight. I run with it 3 times per week and use it during other outdoor activities and it has held up very well. The liner around the forehead and sides is soft and holds perspiration, so bot
