All Around Great Cap

This is my go-to cap for most outdoor excursions. Summer or winter it is light, packable, and dries out quickly. The only complaint I have is that the brim never sits evenly on my head. I've owned three so far and they all sit crooked after several uses.

Great addition to my trail runs. With this heat sticking around it’s nice to have some extra coverage around my face and neck. I like that I can use as use a cap too.

Light, Cool. Neck Guard If You Need It.

I'm looking for my third Sun Runner Cap. The first one wore out fair and square at more than ten years old. My second one is starting to show it's age as the mesh sides are looking tattered, That mesh is bad for wear but light and cool(still hate it). It amuses me when passers by look at my hat which has the OR logo on it and ask "Hey? Or what?" Good summer all around sports hat. Kinda pricey though.

Works For Sun, Hoping For A Redesign

It works well for keeping sun off around my sides and neck, and stays put during runs. Where the design breaks down for me is in how the drapey shield attaches to the hat is very cumbersome, always twisting and getting caught around itself especially after you wash it; frustrating. I find you can't adjust on the fly without stopping. The air vent material has frayed easily.

3rd Sun Runner Cap: Embroidered Or Logo Gone

My go-to hat for all things outdoor. This is my 3rd sun runner. Sorry to see the OR logo is no longer embroidered on the hat but replaced with a cheaper alternative (i.e. a decrease in quality).

Great Sun Protection

This is great to keep the sun off my neck on daily walks. It is steady in my rotation of hats.

Great Shade, Lightweight

Purchased this for hike in open country @ Philmont. It worked as expected, and stored easy when not in use. It's not fancy, but does exactly what you expect it should. I like the lightweight and breathability. I tried using the cape (detached from the hat) on another hat... and it worked, but not as well. My only criticism is that it is a slightly 'shallow' hat if you are used to the deeper ball caps. Otherwise, a great cap for hot sunny days.

Perfect For A Canyon Hike!

Amazing hat for the Grand Canyon- was super hot and sunny when we got down to the bottom near the Colorado River and was thrilled that it kept my head and neck covered and very cool during the very hot day! Wicks sweat away quickly and the light color and very lightweight fabric was great for the all day excursion. Easy to adjust the neck tie too to make sure the sides of my neck were protected as well. Amazing hat for the price!

Modular For Convenience

Unlike other sun hats with a permanent neck shade, I appreciate that this hat is modular. On cloudy days, it performs, looks, and fits like a regular baseball cap.

Outstanding Protection

I’ve now used this hat on a hand full of long training runs, and during a marathon in 92 degree heat where tree coverage was minimal. This hat provided great protection and kept the sun off of my face, neck and ears. The cape detaches from the hat so you can roll with just the ball cap if you want. Just pay attention when removing it as getting it back on was trickier than I thought it would be. Definitely worth it.

I Hate Hats!

But love these!!! I've bought 4 just in case OR stops making them. I struggle to find hats to fit my massive dome, but these fit very comfortably. They're also light weight and not only block sun, mosquitoes, & ticks but also can be snugged to block wind from buffeting one's ears or retain a bit of warmth. The yellow, my fave, adds to conspicuity & safety.

One Of The Best Trail Hats On The Market

Used this item for the first time on the high sierra trail and it was a game changer. I didn’t have to worry about getting my neck burned during the day and could easily take the back off in the morning and the evening. Doesn’t matter if you are a first timer or experienced hiker, this hat is awesome. The only criticism I have, is the built in vents on the side aren’t the most breathable so you can run a little warm if you have the hat on all day.

Great Protection And Adjustability

I’ve put this hat through the wringer and it holds up so nicely. On daily runs or long hikes through the Grand Canyon is my go-to. It breathes really well and protects you from the sun. There have been time where I’ve removed were I’ve taken the neck protection off while on the move and it’s so simple and fast. I also like when it hot there’s still good ventilation underneath.

This sun cap is excellent when I'm in exposed environments. I use it when I'm running on roads/mountains without tree coverage.

Nice Hat With Unruly Brim

Love the hat but the brim is always crooked. I have three of them and the brim on each is always off kilter. No matter what I do to fix it they always end up looking goofy.
