Trail Tested: The best hat for Backpacking? - Outdoor Research Sun Runner Hat

👍thanks

How’s it for ventilation? Hats almost uniformly make my head hot and I end up pitching them up above my forehead or carrying them. Great review as always

[@juanbackpacks]

Ventilation is great without the “curtain”. That’s why I like it so much. The curtain when deployed holds in the heat a little but I explain in the video how to alleviate that a little

really interested in this hat, does it do a decent job while sweating? (My noggin does a faucet impersonation in the summer)

[@juanbackpacks]

The actual hat part does a nice job cooling and managing sweat. I didn’t mention this in my video but the company claims in one of their videos I’ve seen that it has some kind of built in sweat band instead of a standard hat band. You might want to go over to their website and check that out.

​@@juanbackpacks heck yeah, I'm a bit biased toward the ball cap style hat, but a store near me has both, so I'll at least try them both.
