Once a great hat, now a great fail
Have had one of these Aerial Caps for a few years and it was a great running hat. But everything about this hat has changed…for the worse. The bill is considerably shorter and won’t effectively block the sun. The fit is terrible. Ordered same size (there is only one size M/L) and it’s like wearing an XL. The material is thinner than previous hat and doubt it’s 50 UV. Lastly, previous hat was made in Indonesia; this one comes from Vietnam (does it cost less to make it there?). This hat is going back.
Not the best for smaller heads
I'm a female with a 22.5" head circumference, and the M/L ‘one size’ was big on me—both around my head (I had to tighten the back strap a lot), but also the depth; the cap rubs uncomfortably on the tops of my ears and hits the tops of my sunglasses. While this cap is super lightweight, it just doesn't work for smaller heads. I'd love to see it offered in a smaller size. I’d also love to see more earthy feminine colors (ex: mauve) that aren’t too girly like pink/purple.
Best Hat Ever!
Love this hat! Easily adjusts without being "fiddly." Washes up well & dries quickly. We have been traveling by RV for the padt 6 months & this hat has become a reliable friend - Seriously a little embarrassed at how often I wear it. Im ordering it in black to give my little blue one a break. It is the right weight, can hanfle being cinched down in the wind without making your head hurt. So light I forget Im wearing it. .
Too large - please make smaller size.
I have 2 versions of this hat. The first time I purchased (a number of years ago), I thought is was the best cap I ever owned. Light and well ventilated and fit me perfectly. A couple of years later, I bought my second cap, however the new cap size is too large for my head (sits on the top of my ears). Very disappointed with the change and wish company would make a Small/Med sized cap.
Not for regular outdoor wear.
Adjustable band slips, needs constant adjustment. I sweat and wash my hats regularly. When I washed this hat the sweat stains were still visible. My OR and Tilley hats wash nicely. I definitely would not buy this again, actually I wish I had not bought this one. Size runs large; when hat is adjusted down the shape is changed and and has a more crumpled look.
Great lightweight hat for adventures and everyday
I’ve been using this hat for several months now and it’s become my go to hat. I love it for hiking with its lightweight wicking fabric. The adjustable band is great because I can easily pull my sun hoodie beneath the cap on windy days to hold it in place. A quick rinse and it’s ready for a day in town. Great hat that I highly recommend
Best hat ever
Living in south Florida with super hot and humid weather 6mo’s/yr, this is the best light weight hat by far. Perfectly Fits larger heads too!!. Just bought 5 of these cuz they ran out last summer. No big logo across the front, makes it one step up from typical casual hat. Need more hats like this without giant logo on hat.
Best hat ever!
I use this everyday when I walk outside and it's so comfortable and lightweight even in high temperatures. I'm so glad to have the M/L size as I have trouble finding hats that fit and don't end up giving me a headache. I'll definitely be getting the black once it's back in stock, and would also love to see a plain white.
Love this hat
Such a great cap. I love the way you adjust it. This is the best I have ever had. Tighten and/or loosen without having to take the hat off. Thank you for finally coming up with a good way to adjust this hat. Material is great also. Light weigh so it’s not hot. I will be ordering more
Love both this and Sun Guide
I purchased both the Sun Guide Cap and the Aerial Cap. I like both very much. I have a 7&7/8 (24") head and the L/XL fits perfectly. They are proportioned well – that is they don’t just have a longer adjustment in the back, but the hat is actually designed for larger heads. I love how the Sun Guide Cap can fold so when I stuff it in my pack the bill doesn’t get wrecked up. The Sun Guide comes down a little lower on my head so it stays on better on a windy day. It also has a larger bill than the Aerial. The Aerial is more comfortable to wear but since it sits just a tad higher it doesn’t stay on as well in a strong wind. It’s perfect on a calm day when I just want to keep the sun out of my eyes. Like other reviewers say, the strap in the back does loosen up. I don’t notice it so much if I leave it on, but if I move it around or take it off and put it back on I have to snug it up. I’m so happy that both fit my large head so well that I’ll live with a strap that loosens a little. I’m happy with both.
