Outdoor Research Swift Cap - Ultralight Running Cap (UPF 40)

Ultralight sun protection that fits under a helmet. The Outdoor Research Swift Cap is a 71g (2.5 oz) breathable running cap with UPF 40 protection, built for trail running, hiking and fast days in the sun.

The recycled nylon blend dries quickly and resists light rain, mesh side panels dump heat, and the TransAction™ headband keeps sweat off your face when the pace picks up. A shaped, stiff brim with a dark underside cuts glare, and the low profile sits comfortably under a climbing or ski helmet, so it earns a place on alpine days and ski tours as well as runs. Pick the Swift Cap when you want a proper structured peak in a very light package.
