Trucker hat
I needed a new hat as my ON mesh hat had faded and the brim is worn. I use a variety of the arcteryx gear, mainly for skiing but figured I’d try the hat. Functionality wise, it keeps my hair out of my face when running, the mesh provides ventilation, however the bill is much shorter than my previous hat, so it doesn’t protect my eyes as much from the sun. This could be mitigated with sunglasses but those tend to slip and slide when I sweat, plus a hat has a bill for a reason. Additionally, maybe that’s how normal trucker hats are supposed to be though (I’m not a hat conisseuer). I noticed a comment about the design, giving someone a headache, I experienced this too. However, upon sizing it correctly, this was mitigated. Like any piece of equipment, proper usage is necessary.
Great hat, ignore the bad reviews
Purchased mine in-store, really like it, and came to look at other colors and was shocked to see all the negative reviews. I love the trucker shape - shorter bill, higher crown, and a nice design feature that allows the strap of the hat to stay flat against your head regardless of how you bend the bill. Materials feel very high quality, and it's very breathable in the heat. It can handle sweat: I've worn it for a week of long hikes and even backpacking, but it's not meant for trail running or other super-high exertion activities, so if that's what you're looking for, pick something else designed for those activities. Considering buying it in a few other colors I like this one so much.
I didn't like trucker hats... until now!
I have always found trucker hats to be too boxy and uncomfortable. I never understood why people liked them until I picked up this one! The brim where your forehead meets the hat is cushy and breathable, and unlike other trucker hats, fit the shape of the head perfectly! As a historically "dad hats only" person, this has really changed the game for me. Highly recommended for those hot summer days and outdoor missions! Did I mention it's also really cute?
The perfect cap!
I have over 30 different hats, caps, beanies for outdoor adventures and this is by far the best! Fits securely, lightweight, thin around the edges and behind the ears. I never write reviews but felt compelled to. My first piece of Arc Teryx gear and I will defo look to them for my next purchase.
Easy gift for men
My man wears this hat multiple times a week, he loves it!
love, bad reviews don’t make sense
Re the comments on the “weird shape”: this is a trucker hat! It’s shaped like a trucker hat! I’ve worn this specific hat backpacking for 14 days, on many 15mi+ runs, and around town. I have it in green. It has held up wonderfully to a very high amount of use. It obviously gets dirty but I stick it in the dishwasher and it looks good as new still. Really high quality imo.
Please bring back the old version!
As many others here, also I was excited to get the old version back, but this one here is another disappointment. Unfortunately, this is a new bulky version of once best hat ever. Luckily I bought the old version in 6 different colors. Also the wrong images are used, which is highly misleading - the model in black is the PREVIOUS version of this hat which is NOT sold anymore. Please dear Product Team, bring back the old design! Thanks for considering that.

Clean, resilient, pliable, and durable. Stands out
This is an expensive hat. Im glad to say that the design and materials do justify the cost. My usual problem with hats is that eventually they become deformed after extensive use and especially due to sweat or rain and once wet or soiled it becomes deformed and god forbid once you try to wash them they aboslutely denature. This hat however made of synthetic materials is especially pliable and able to retain its shape. I love that rain beads on the surface and doesn't saturate it easily. Even in heavy rain, once saturated, it dries quickly. I can easily spot clean sweat stains. I also love how pliable it is, I have had people sit on it or it gets folded and crushed when packed in luggage and it returns to its original shape easily and without signs of distress. Hopefully it stands the test of time. Also it does look very modern and clean cut.
Not as good as the prior version - don't buy
I had the previous version of this hat, and I'll preface with it was the best hiking/backpacking hat maybe ever made. It was top quality (or so I thought), and the fit was perfect. Unfortunately the clasp broke in half during a hike in Kauai, so Arcteryx replaced it under warranty. This is where the new design comes in when I ordered the replacement - and the fit is terrible. They made it larger in circumference, taller in the worst way, more boxy, and the fit is just not good all the way around albeit does feel like it has the Arcteryx quality still which is the only saving grace. They need to back to the drawing board and bring back the prior design that made everyone fall in love with this; the updates/changes are just bad. I cannot recommend this hat, especially for the cost. Please fix your error, Arcteryx, and bring back the hat that we all love.

One of these days they figure it out
It gets better with each revision. I still don’t understand why there aren’t multiple sizes available. For example, S/M and M/L I also like the ultralight materials and the mesh construction very much but a lot of people like billboard truckers and some have small heads. Multiple sizes is the easiest way to appease everyone. I like it better than previous revision but I’m returning it due to color discrepancy.
