I have two of these! I usually don't like wearing ball caps, but these are really comfortable. They are definitely breathable and be great for keeping the hair out of my face and sun off the top of my head without feeling like I'm going to overheat. Very nicely made.

Great hat. One issue. I purchased this hat with low expectations but al were vastly exceeded. It’s comfortable, cool during humid times and despite my misgivings, looks quite sharp. It’s folds into everything and is super light. Overall love it. The only issue is that the buckle in the back does not stay clipped unless it’s tight-ish on your head. It’s a simple thing, but important as I have to assure the buckle is secure each time I put it on. Otherwise, it would be a 5 star purchase.

I have several Swift Caps that are over 10 years old. Recently, I wore one while working in my garage, bent over, and slammed my head into a sharp metal wall bracket. The impact required an ER visit and nine staples to close the laceration. When cleaning up later, I saw the hat was covered in blood, but the fabric was completely undamaged—not a cut or even a scuff mark. I washed it in water and soap, and it looks brand new. I'm glad it offered some protection, but I am mainly just amazed at the incredible durability of this cap after a decade of wear.

This is a ridiculously well fitting, comfortable, high quality cap. I use mine for running, hiking, backpacking and well, anytime I need a cap. I now own 8 hats - more than I probably need. I just recently purchased this hat again in the same color (black) as my 9 year old hat is starting to show wear. This is as good as it was 9 years ago.

Girlfriend bought me one bc I love the brand wnd the hat design but one size is more like xs- medium (maybe). Too short and stretching them doesn’t quite cut it. They need to make a version that’s fits large-xl for a deeper fit . Then I’d buy every color

Awesome lightweight cap. I use it mainly for running and it’s perfect.

Great hat, great price. Used for running, hiking, biking and anything else. Super breathable, lightweight and overall love it.

I own four Swift Caps. I like everything about them except for one thing. The clasp on the rear strap is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. I like to be able to remove my hat and hang it from my backpack's sternum strap while hiking. However, the clasp does not have any sort of positive locking mechanism, so it can come undone very easily, especially if going through brush. Other manufacturers use a small, thin quick-release buckle that works very well. Please consider the same. BTW, please bring back an orange color, preferably Blaze Orange.

I bought a new one because i have used Swift Cap for years and love it. Sadly the new model is WAY bigger. The old model that fits perfectly is ITEM-nr. 80600. If you have this and want a new one, do not buy one with ITEM-nr. 243430

This is an excellent, packable hat you can throw in a pack and not worry about the hat being mis- shappened. It’s very breathable and great for sun protection. It’s also a hat that doesn’t scream “operator” when worn overseas.

I wear this (or its sister) on every run. It helps shield my eyes but is super light. It can develop a funk but I dunk it in the pool enter every use and that does a great job of keeping it funk free.

I bought this for running and hiking. I have a big head and like that this was easy to get it to fit. It's comfortable and easy to clean. It's survived several washes without deforming. Definitely a great fit for active hobbies.

I own like 10 of these. This is my favorite hat going on several years. I am a Swift Cap collector. If they did limited color drops like they do for Labubus I would be all over it.

I don’t like wearing hats when running so I have limited experience to compare. But decided to wear them for really long runs and in the rain. It’s been good for those. I do wish it was a little more “meshy” to breathe more. Holds its shape well despite multiple washes.

I hope OR brings back the orange color; our search and rescue team uses it for added visibility. This hat also fits really well under a climbing helmet.
