Product Information

Full details

The Outdoor Research Swift Cap in Grey is designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking superior sun protection and ventilation. Ideal for runners, hikers, climbers, and backpackers, this cap offers a lightweight, packable design with UPF 50+ sun protection. A key benefit is its exceptional breathability and comfort in warm weather due to the full mesh liner. However, users should note that the low profile, while suitable for helmets, may not offer as much sun coverage as a wider-brimmed hat.
