Great splurge hat

Okay, so this hat is expensive - let's get that out of the way. Still, I took a chance because I wanted an all-mesh hat with a size option that would fit over my very dense afro hair. And I didn't want a plastic snapback or velcro adjuster. While I wish the hat was more in the $30-$40 range, I snapped it up (in the bright green to stand out), and I'm glad I did. It is super lightweight but at the same time sturdy on the head because of the shape and back adjustment. And the L/XL fits over my hair without squeezing my forehead like other caps. Feeling the air through this thing has me ready for summer. Some things are just worth it.

Light, breathable, bummer fit and bill

Judging by the features, this should be a perfect warm weather cap. The construction quality is what you'd expect from Arc'Teryx, the materials are excellent, it's very light and unlike the Aerios, it's extremely breathable. My mistake was that I imagined the Norvan was essentially a 1 for 1 with the Aerios. Looking at the photos, they appear identical save for the mesh fabric. Holding them both in my hands (both are sizes l/xl) tells me that the patterning is nearly identical and the adjustment mechanism is the same BUT the Norvan fits like a Rasta Cap while at the same time having a bill that's closer in size to that of a cycling cap rather than matching the Aerios.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your review of the Norvan Mesh 5 Panel Cap. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the lightweight feel, materials, and breathability of the cap, but we’re sorry to learn that the fit didn’t meet your expectations. The Norvan Mesh 5 Panel is intended to be an ultralight, highly breathable option for hot trail runs, with mesh panels that maximizes airflow; whereas the Aerios 5 Panel is designed for spring and summer mountain environments. Because each cap uses different fabrics, they can feel different in fit and structure even though they share the same 5‑panel design. We understand how important a hat’s fit is, and it’s disappointing when it doesn’t align with what you were expecting. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we’ve shared it with our design team as we continue improving future products. Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review.

Great running hat, mediocre adjustment cord

For the most part, this hat is a winner. Super light and breathable, plus I like the flat/short bill. I would go for the s/m if you're unsure what size to get. I tried both on in store and the large is really quite large. For reference I have a ~59cm head which puts me in the range for that size, but I found the overall fit of the s/m to be great. The only improvement I would make to this cap would be a refinement of the adjustment mechanism. I have other caps that use similar shock cord adjustments that I like, but the Norvan slips a lot more easily than those. This means I can't really get the hat as tight as I would want at times - it just slips back out to medium/light tightness

Ultra Light Backpacker’s Ideal Hat

Geared toward the ultra-light backpacking crowd. Very low weight, and unstructured. I was hoping for a more aesthetic and durable hat. I was mislead by the pictures. Basically a mesh bag with a very short brim.
