Review: A well put-together cap for the outdoors - I forgot my hat on a recent climbing trip to Moab. The sun was ferocious, and fortunately a friend lent me his OR Sun Runner cap. As a testament to how much I liked the hat, I ordered an OR hat immediately after I returned. I didn't want the side panels of the Sun Runner cap (I always bring a bandana, and I unfold it and wear it under my hat if I really need to cover my ears and neck), so I ordered the Swift Sun Hat in fatigue. The hat is typical Outdoor Research quality, which is to say excellent. As with the hat I wore in Moab, I think it will be excellent as a sun hat. It is very light and has a very comfortable fit. The adjustment tab has a quick release buckle, which seems useless to me but is very low profile, so that's fine. I really like the 'fatigue' color, which is a nice olive, light enough to not absorb too much sunlight and without the slightly dumpy army-navy store color common to olive drab. It's casual enough looking to not look like I'm trying to golf at Mara-Lago and neat enough looking that I wore it in the rain to an engineering meeting without looking unprofessional. There is one kind of odd aspect to the hat: the mesh side panels are actually the sides of a complete mesh cap. The top of the mesh cap is hidden because the nylon top panel (the olive part, in my case) is actually a completely separate 'awning' secured at the front and the back of the brim. I think the purpose is to provide a bit more insulation and ventilation between the head and the sun. It makes the hat a tad heavier (it's still really light) and I suppose could theoretically catch on brush if you're thrutching through dense vegetation, but honestly I don't think the difference would be really noticeable. Either the Swift or Sun Runner seem to be good choices. Final analysis, I don't see much to criticize. It seems very practical for hot weather and sun, and probably fine in cool weather as well. It packs well and looks cool. It'll probably end up as my go-to hat for hiking, running, and activities in sunny and/or arid areas. Highly recommended.
Review: Great hiking hat! - This is my favorite hiking hat. I run hot and it's perfect for me. Vents well and dries quickly. Great fit and look. I would absolutely recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great hiking hat!
*by W***N on November 15, 2025*

This is my favorite hiking hat. I run hot and it's perfect for me. Vents well and dries quickly. Great fit and look. I would absolutely recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
