Great Its comfortable and light. I wear mine for running also and it is very comfortable. Being Irish I am very concerned about the effects of sun exposure, but I also enjoy the outdoors. This provides me good protection and peace of mind.

Excellent Backpacking hat I wanted to replace my old backpacking hat with something that was more adaptable to various situations and environments. This hat has so far risen to the challenge. It keeps my head and ears warm when starting out on 30 degree mornings. As the day starts to heat up it vents the heat away from my head, covers my neck and ears from the sun and is adjustable as my head tends to swell as I climb in elevation. During the late afternoon, it catches the breezes that come along and expands to circulate the air around my head and neck. As an added benefit it keeps the mosquitoes away from my ears and neck and I do not have to wear a mosquito net around my head. I agree with the other reviews about the removal/reattaching the sun skirt. It is a pain at first but, because of all of the other wonderful benefits it is a minor annoyance and as I take on and off more often it goes a little bit quicker after each time. I would buy this hat again in a heartbeat and it has become a regular part of all of my outdoor activities.

Don't hit the open trail without it. I've been looking for a great summer hat for a while, and now I've found it. Whether running in the harsh sun or a spring downpour this hat has offered superior protection from the elements. The sun skirt improves air circulation on hot days to keep you cool while offering extra sun protection -- Plus it's removable which is great on overcast or cool days. It's surprisingly versatile and well made. I continue to be impressed by the quality of the items that Outdoor Research is putting out. Easily the best running cap I have ever had.
