Great lightweight running cap

This cap is light enough for hot road runs and the dark underside of the brim helps with glare. The buckle is easy to adjust before heading out.

Easy to stash and wear

I use it for trail runs and day hikes. It packs down easily in my vest pocket and still gives good sun coverage when I need it.

Solid everyday training hat

Comfortable for long efforts and simple to dial in, though the one-size fit may not be perfect for every head shape.

Nice for morning miles

The nylon fabric feels durable without being heavy. I especially like the reflective color option for early morning runs.
