## Description

This hat has a full mesh liner crown for superior ventilation in warm weather. The shaped bill and nylon panels offer protection from the sun

Review: Awesome hat! - Comfortable, lightweight, and breaths. I’m planning to wear a hoodie over it for sun protection on the sides of my face. Works great.
Review: Even the mad hatter would trade up for this one - Best hat ever made. Thousands of trail miles later, trips to the gym, the store, the moon etc. this hat has proven to be the opposite of garbage. It is gold. Snug fit even on the windiest of days, super cool on scorcher days, looks clean even after days in the dirt. I think I have a smaller sized head which probably explains this review but for people like me it’s the only hat that I have found that feels “right” on my head. This hat seems to have been born out of an incubator of hat ingenuity and excellence, most likely manhattan.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super lightweight and great sun protection
*by F***B on December 17, 2025*

I picked up this OR Swift Cap for hiking and travel, and it’s been excellent. The hat is incredibly light — I barely notice it on my head, even on long walks — and the UPF sun protection gives extra peace of mind on bright days. The breathable mesh keeps air flowing so I stay cool instead of hot and sweaty, and the brim provides solid shade without being too stiff. It packs down easily into a backpack or luggage, which has been perfect for trips. If you want a comfortable, functional sun hat for outdoor activities, this one checks all the boxes.
