lightweight, flexible/packable, dries quickly and stays on

I love my regular swift cap but even tightened it blows off sometimes in the wind. this closure/tightening mechanism is much quicker/easier to adjust and tighten when needed, and the brim is flexible enough to have some give in the wind. It also held up pretty well in the rain to keep my face dry while playing ultimate frisbee, and it dried quickly as well! Overall very pleased, I do think the drawstring in the back doesn't maybe look as "nice" as a buckle so I only use this hat for active endeavors as opposed to casual outfits (for which I go for the regular swift cap). I do think using a lighter color drawstring/button for the lighter color hat would help this to look nicer as well

Most versatile cap I own

This is a really useful hat for when I'm traveling and need something that I can stuff into a bag, wear around town, hike in, run in, and easily wash out in a hotel sink knowing it will be dry in just a few hours.

Super light and stretchy.

This is my favorite hat. It fits my small head and the stretchiness keeps it on in wind. Why on earth is it so expensive? Would love to see this in more fun and visible colors.

Great for backcountry skiing

Great hat that compacts really easily. I’m bald so I always need something on my head and hate the looks of just having a buff on it. This hat fits perfectly. It wicks well.
