I don’t think this hat has any flaws

For starters I’m bald and shave my head often. So I feel like I’m constantly looking for the right hats. I’ve had this for 24 hours and truly find it to be thee most comfortable hat I’ve tried and checks so many boxes. It seems fairly breathable but haven’t gotten to use it actively yet. It has such a comfortable band. Again, for a bald guy it’s so ideal. It’s super soft. I’m sure it packs well. I’m 6 feet tall with a fairly normal to slightly large head and small/medium is perfect whereas for tried the gamma in s/m and it was laughably small. I hope they use these materials more in other hats because it’s just that comfortable.

Love this hat

I really like this hat. I checked all 5 of Arcteryx’s offerings for the breathability line and landed on this. The brim is a nice size and structured just enough. The material is super breathable - I wear it on warmer days and my head doesn’t sweat nearly as much as traditonal hats. I actually purchased this for sunny ski touring, but now it’s become one of my go-to everyday items. I’ll probably buy a second color…

outdoor performance and everyday style

I picked up the Silex Cap looking for a lightweight, technical hat that could handle both hikes and everyday wear, and overall it delivers.

Not Bad

This hat is functional and has a nice cropped graphic but I would prefer it with a structured front.
