Outdoor Research Drifter Cap

Anonymous - 2009-06-14

Nice hat
The cap is lightweight, looks good and the larger size fits my rather large head much better than a one size fits all cap. I have been looking for a rain hat to carry with me to keep the rain off my glasses and this hat has done the job well.

Very well made and 2 sizes is a real bonus in a cap
I purchased this hat based on another reviewer's comments about how well the hat was made compared to other brands. I am very appreciative of that review because that is my experience as well. Plus this cap comes in two size and the L/XL was far better for me than the one size fits all hats. I'm actually consider purchasing the hat in the other color also.

Very nice hat
The gore-tex technology makes this hat very breatheble and waterproof. Besides, the hat looks very great.

Outdoor Research Drifter Cap
This is a great cap, because of it's packlite goretex. Your head does not get to hot, and this cap blocks the rain and wind very well. The fit is right on.

High quality cap
This is very well made, with great attention to detail and quality control, unlike many caps with misaligned panels or crooked peaks (Nike, New Era, Under Armor). I bought L/XL for a size 7 3/8 head, and it fits well. It is very comfortable, with a great sweat band. I have pale skin, and the band does not leave any marks on my forehead. Part of this is also because the drawcord sizing is great and preferable to the usual adjustment mechanism on many caps with an opening in the back, with one potential factor to bear in mind: when you rest the back of your head against something (car seat, tree, whatever) you can feel the plastic cord keeper. I have an earlier OR high-rated UPF cap (similar look, but not Gore-Tex, can't remember the name, apparently no longer made) which utilized a hook and loop closure on the exterior (similar to the OR Prism Cap currently available), which is flatter and more comfortable when it rests on something (though this earlier cap had the strap in black rather than the same colour as the cap; the Prism Cap corrects this). The Deep Green colour is attractive, with the OR logo being made of reflective material. I like the styling overall, which is not a conventional baseball style, but more European; think of a French Army "Bigeard" cap from the '50s (Google it:) or a Rhodesian Army jungle cap from the '70s...i.e., with a low-profile, round-ish top. I like it, but it may not be to everyone's taste. The peak holds its shape nicely. I ordered this with 4 other items; they all came in one package, which is great and highly preferred, since Canadians get stuck with a $5.00 "handling fee" from Customs for any package assessed for taxes/duties (no duties, just taxes this time), so avoiding multiple packages for a number of items is a plus. Also, an order of $45.00+ to Canada also earned free shipping just like a continental U.S. order, a nice touch that other U.S. online vendors should emulate.

Great light-weight gore-tex cap.
I use the Drifter Cap while running in the rain or snow and it does a good job of keeping me dry. I plan on using it when Kayaking this spring and I think that it will perform well then also. The drawcord is a nice feature. I works well when it gets windy. Another great OR product.
