The Outdoor Research Swift Cap hat has a full mesh lining for increased ventilation in warm weather. The shaped bill and nylon panels offer protection from the sun.
Great cap, lightweight and fits like a glove!
I love this cap! I bought it in every color they had, and even an extra one in slate! It's lightweight, and unlike cotton doesn't weigh a ton on your head, airy, vents well, when wet - dries quickly, and very important for me; fits like a glove, no bunching or wrinkling, fits the shape of my head. I even wear it in the winter, and as light as it is, still keeps my head fairly warm, and I have no hair to do that (shaved head)!!! I can't say enough about this cap!!!
Excellent multi-purpose hat
Great hat for a multitude of activities. Running, the beach, walks, hiking etc. The lightweight construction is durable yet stylish.
Great Hat!
I really like this hat especially since it vents heat so well. I bought this hat to go on safari in Tanzinia after climbing Kilimanjaro. I did spray on some water repellant on the top panels and bill to help shed rain which worked perfectly. It allowed air to circulate around my head keeping me cool while climbing and while on safari. It fit perfectly and adjusts easily. It's much better than typical cotton, wool, or mesh type hats.

Best hat ever!
I live in Miami Beach where it is HOT and I lead bike tours - I stumbled on the OR brand's "Swift Hat" a little by accident while visiting a bike shop on Lake Michigan and by the very next day I realized it was the coolest hat (literally) I had ever bought - because of the skull cap mesh covering, that is then covered by another layer. Genius. I went back to the shop the very next day only to discover I had bought the last one - so I ordered the SAME hat online that day (of course, I had to pay shipping rather than tax).
Great Running Hat
I have tried a number of running hats and this is the best. Fits great, light and cool.
Great purchase
Feels so light and comfortable, it's like nothing is even there. Great for warm weather activities.
Awesome hat!
Great for hiking. Kept my head very cool in humid conditions. Love the shaped bill. Definitely worth the $20 I spent on it.
Great hot weather hat!
I love this hat so much I own it in 2 colors. I live in south florida and where it almost every day. I does a great job keeping my head cool and the sun off my face. Plus is looks super cool.
Great hiking hat
I bought this hat for hiking and paddling in warm weather. Very comfortable and well ventilated. Dries fast too. Love it!

EXCELLENT CAP FOR RUNNING.
Have been wearing this cap for early AM runs in Florida. Breathes well, fits well. Looks cool. Prefer it to Nike and Hind caps that I have. Light rain beads up nicely.
great warm weather cap
the swift cap is a great fitting and very comfortable cap. it seems to be very good for warm weather activities and looks good to boot.
Swift cap has a great fit and is very breathable and comfortable
This is a great hat. It's well made, looks good, comes in multiple colors and fits well. The hat feels light and airy on your head and offers excellent protection from the sun. I like the way it performs.
Great running hat
I was looking for a running hat that would keep the sun out of my eye's but wasn't hot to wear. This hat is perfect for anyone who likes to run, but doesn't want a heavy non-ventilated hat. The mesh liner really let's the heat escape and the hat look's better then any others I've seen.As alway's Outdoor Research product's are top of the line.
Overall a nice warm-weather hat.
I bought the hat to wear while running. It has worked as I expected. It is light weight and the sides are vented - great for keeping cool while providing protection from the sun. I like OR products and this is a good one.
Slate color goes with everything.
Superior construction and lightweight, head stays cool even with the Phoenix, AZ heat. The slate color is very sharp looking; feels a bit small on me.
Well thought out cap
Cap has nice features of both netting on inside and nylon partial cover. Also, has close fit around your head and does not stick out on sides like many caps. As a result, it is nice looking cap.
