Uncleanable

Like the ultra lightweight construction. Was handy for backpacking. Wish it came is XS as the s-m is too large for my female head and looks quite wonky for such an expensive item. What really bugs me is that care instructions forbid washing it, so here I am, stuck with a hat full of salt after the summer adventures, not sure how to clean it so the materials of this expensive hat don't decompose on me.

Hi Olessia, thank you for sharing your experience with the Aerios 5 Panel Cap. We're happy to hear that the lightweight construction has been helpful on your adventures. That said, we're sorry to hear that the fit did not work well for you. Regarding care, you can safely hand-wash the cap in cold water using a mild detergent. Gently scrub any soiled areas, then rinse until the water runs clear. Once it is clean, lay it flat to air dry so it keeps its shape and continues to perform as intended. We appreciate your feedback and will share it with our team as we continue improving our products and services.

Good luck if it's soaked in sweat/water

Good hat until it deforms because as the instructions say "only surface clean" and do not wash... hmm what happens when the hat becomes soaked in sweat and dries in variable climates? It'll get deformed. How do you surface clean a hat that's been soaked in sweat??? Specifically in my case the part that gets deformed is most likely the fabric on the underside of the rim. It looks like it shrunk a tiny bit and now the rim is permanently deformed. What kind of running/sports hat works like this??

Hi there, thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear that your hat became deformed after getting soaked. We understand how frustrating that must be, especially for a product designed for active use. This hat is constructed with fast-drying fibers to help manage moisture during performance activities. However, depending on the amount of sweat and environmental conditions, drying speed and fabric response can vary. For cleaning, we recommend using a damp cloth with water and mild detergent, as outlined in our care instructions. Machine washing or drying can unfortunately lead to damage, which is why we include a care label on each garment to help guide proper maintenance. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and will pass this along to our design team for future consideration.

Another L

Good design, fit, and materials. Super light and incredibly breathable, by far the most breathable hat I’ve found. Might seem like a petty complaint, but the logo fell off after the second use. For this price the branding should not be delaminating immediately. Zero support from the folks at the store when I tried to return it. Arcteryx really stacking up the L’s here lately. Another dud. Think I’m done with this brand.

Hi Carl. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on the Aerios 5 Panel Hat. It’s great to hear the design, fit, and breathability worked well for you, though we understand how disappointing it must have been to see the logo come off so quickly. If you haven’t yet, we encourage you to submit a Product Service Request form so our team can review the issue more closely and provide support.

Light, great fit but hot

I want to like this hat and there is a lot to like. The fit is fantastic, it's VERY light weight and the design is superb. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow air to pass easily and I find that it runs hot. I have the wool 5 panel hat that I find myself choosing over this even on really hot days. If a ventilated version of this hat were to be made, I think it would be one of the very best.

Hello there, thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback. It’s great to hear you’re enjoying the fit, weight, and design of the Aerios 5 Panel Cap, but we are sorry to hear that the breathability did not meet your needs. We’re always listening, and suggestions like yours help us explore new ways to evolve our designs. A more ventilated version is a fantastic idea, and we’ll be sure to share it with our product team!

Functional, light, and packable. Spot on.

The hat is an awesome light weight option when you want to keep the sun off and the weight off. It's proven to be unexpectedly durable given the light weight, and easy to keep clean after a rugged adventure. The clasp in the back is a bit finnicky and probably the primary point of design that I would recommend Arc'Teryx explore improving.

Perfect hat for warm weather

Very light weight fabric and low profile hat that does a good job at dumping heat. The brim does a good job at flexing a bit in wind so the hat doesn't get sucked off your head. The slight flex from the shock cord adjuster is brilliant, and the hat lightly forms around your head. It's so light that I forget that I'm wearing it.

Cute style, but could function better on the trail

Some pros and some cons... Pros: cute style, very lightweight, breathable, durable, packs down super small (easily fits into a pocket of a trail vest). Cons: headband is kind of chafe-y, adjustment system could be improved (not very easy to adjust while on the go, hair gets easily caught while trying to adjust while wearing).

New Favorite Hat

This is the lightest most functional hat I have ever owned. The price is a bit off putting though. If you are into ultralight backpacking this is a good piece. It is super light and folds up very small.

Great hat

My grandson is thrilled with his new hat. It fits perfectly. He has trouble finding the right fit. It is also great for comfort and cooling The ventilation is also just what is needed
