Perfect fit, lightweight, great for sweating

I really love this hat. It’s incredibly lightweight, breathable, and comfortable, perfect for everyday wear as well as more active, sweaty adventures. Whether I’m heading out for a hike, running errands, or just enjoying a sunny day, this cap has become a go-to. I’ve been wearing mine 1–3 times a week, and it’s holding up really well. The fit is great, the minimalist design is super versatile, and it’s easy to clean if it gets a bit sweaty or dusty. A solid staple for anyone who loves functional, low-profile gear that still looks good. Highly recommend!

Want to buy the headband fabric

Overall, I really like this cap. I’m giving it four stars because I think a few improvements could make it even better. First of all, the fabric is great – it has a nice feel, it’s breathable, and it’s comfortable to wear. I would love to see more color options. Black isn’t ideal for staying cool in the sun, and white or sand shows smudges too easily for long-term backpacking! The back strap could also be a bit longer so it can be stored without flipping out. Lastly, I want to highlight how much I appreciate the headband that Arc’teryx produces themselves. It’s very soft, adds some cushion, and dries quickly. I would actually like to buy more of these to use in other caps I own, and I’ll keep trying to get my hands on some. Hopefully at one point they will let me buy it.

TIght fitting minimal cap

This hat is the right one for all of us with a small head:) It has a clean look and fits great. It's lightweight and feels and looks great. Water beads off in the rain and keeps the cap light

Love the material, fit is really poor.

I had the previous Small bird cap version in one size, was my favourite 4season cap for it’s design and sleek and smooth material, used for outdoor, light rain and lifestyle, unfortunately lost while travelling. My head measure is 58cm, ordered both sizes of the revised model and I’m very disappointed with the new product…Below a quick review Pros: - love the material, as the previous one - internal headband improved on this model in my opinion - increased lenght of the back pull tab Cons: - The fit is very poor, the bigger size is way, way too big for my head while the smaller is way to tight as the brim digs hard into my forehead. Although it is tight, the crown doesn’t fit well on my head and remain oddly loose and high on my head. - Decreased size of the back hole, I preferred it wider as the previous model because I have long hair tied in a bun Ended up returning both sizes, hoping for a return of the previous model

Hello Lorenzo, thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback on the updated Small Bird Cap. We truly appreciate how much you valued the previous version and how clearly you outlined what isn’t working for you in the revised fit. It’s disappointing to hear that neither size offered a comfortable or secure feel, and that changes to the crown shape and back opening made the cap less compatible with your needs, especially given how versatile the original model was for you. While we’re glad the materials and internal headband still resonated, your comments about sizing, structure, and hair compatibility are incredibly valuable, and we’ve passed them along to our design teams as they continue refining future iterations. We’re sorry this version missed the mark for you and grateful you took the time to help us improve.

Best cap I've ever owned.

I adore this cap. It's comfortably lightweight and sold in a small size that fits my small head. Above all, I love the purple color pop! It's fun to wear, and I get compliments all the time. Please never discontinue this product, and consider adding a few more bright colors to the line! :)

Great Cap, light, nice color, very comfortable. Feel luxury! Purchased both s/m and l/xl - would suggest to get three size (one in between).

Comfortable cap

Arc hats are usually too big for my head but the fit of this s/m is great. Very well constructed and comfortable cap.
