Ultimate Running Hat Comparison Review! 15 Hats from 7 Brands!

In this "Ultimate Running Hat Comparison Review" video, I take a look at 15 different running hats from 7 brands including; Buff, Path Projects, BOCO, RNNR, Fractel, Ciele, and Melin! Whether I'm trail running or road running, I always run with a hat (or do you call them caps?). They help keep the sun out of your eyes, provide protection from the elements, plus it's a proven fact that a cool looking hat make you run faster (right?)! Let me know in the comments if you use a running hat/cap.

[@AlexSolanoPT]

Thx for taking the time to review the hats. It’s just what I needed.

[@annunger3882]

Super cool info, I'll definitely look into these. Thanks Chad 👍🙏

[@SeeChadRun]

Thanks for checking out the video Ann!

[@pathtoultra]

Great video Bro, so many hats🤤. Always in a hat and love a 5 panel soft bill 🔥🔥🔥

[@SeeChadRun]

Looks like you got a couple nice five panel caps from what I can see on your channel 🙂

[@pathtoultra]

@@SeeChadRun Yeaaah!

[@chriscoop6852]

Love my Boco Rabbit. I also have Rnnr Unicorn but the band is thick and gets hot in sunny FL. Yesterday I found a Columbia trail/running hat at Goodwill for $3.99!!

[@SeeChadRun]

Ha! $4, what a deal!

[@raysollarsthehappyjogger5907]

So many choices! My favorite hat currently is my "Ciele." I tend to favor colors that don't attract heat, at least for summer. Thanks for the video Chad.

[@SeeChadRun]

Thanks for checking out the video and for the comment. I am really pleased with the quality and the material choices of Ciele. Really nice products for sure!

[@tworunningbrooms]

I'd never thought there was so much to running hats. Very interesting. Have subscribed to this channel. We're documenting our journey back to fitness on our own channel. #keeponkeepingon Dawn and John

[@SeeChadRun]

Thanks for subscribing! I'll check out your channel too!

[@tworunningbrooms]

@@SeeChadRun thanks

[@svgranger]

Great vid! Do wish you would have tried on each hat.

[@SeeChadRun]

I did include a few photos of me wearing the hats but your feedback is appreciated and would have absolutely added a lot of value to the video. Thank you for the feedback. Hopefully this won't be the last hat review that I do.

[@KGS723]

Great vid/review! What hat are you sporting?

[@SeeChadRun]

These days, I mostly wear the Buff 5 Panel Go cap and the RNNR Distance Unicorn hat. You'll see me wearing those hats in most of my more recent gear review and race videos.

[@brentjarvis2974]

Great video. Have you tried the Rnnr Crew yet? If so how do you like it compared to the distance?

[@SeeChadRun]

I haven't tried the Crew hat (it wasn't available when I made this video) but it looks like the non-five panel version of the Pacer hat, which is a nice hat.

[@JungleSoundzperc]

Hi..... Nice US caps ... I have 2 Hanzo NB from Japan 🇯🇵, and 4 CIELE from Montreal , Quebec, Canada ... 1 Alz ., and 3 Go cap ... the most popular is the Go cap 🧢 Phamton , and the classic Black . Go cap Canada ( Discontinuing...just in the Running room $40.00-$45.00 CDN ....... very , comfy special in summer . 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@SeeChadRun]

The Ciele hats are very comfortable! I love the material choices that they went with on their heads.

[@hommefield9612]

Thanks for the review. Been trying to decide which rnnr hat to get. Is the quality of the rnnr pacer vs the rnnr distance hat the same?

[@SeeChadRun]

They are the same quality. Between the two, I'd go with the distance hat.

[@kestontrammell3014]

Which rnnr hat is best if you like wearing your hat both forwards and backwards and changing the brim flipped up and down?

[@SeeChadRun]

The RNNR hats featured in this video are very comfortable and I really like the Unicorn, but none of them really work well to flip the brim up. BOCO worked better if you want to flip the brim up.

[@cafetrava]

Have you tried Sprints hats? I wonder where they’d show in your ranking!

[@SeeChadRun]

Never even heard of Sprint's hats. Off to check them out!

[@mikedean5398]

Next time you do a review go check out Attain run cap, based in the UK they are the only not for profit run cap on the planet.

[@SeeChadRun]

I'll check them out! Thank you!

[@ryanhughes7379]

Which of these hats feels like it would fit a big head? Thanks!

[@SeeChadRun]

The RNNR hats would be my recommendation for larger heads.

[@hommefield9612]

Have you washed the rnnr hats? Just curious want to know if they keep their shape after washing them.

[@SeeChadRun]

I haven't watched them in a washing machine, but have gotten that hat wet and cleaned it by hand. No issues cleaning it that way.

[@aajayi]

Interesting review however as a runner I wouldn’t buy any of those hats as they all have similar profiles. I think people of certain ethnicity look better with hats that are more curved in front.

[@igloozoo3771]

What is the watch and band you are wearing?

[@SeeChadRun]

That would be my Suunto 9 Baro GPS watch with a basic silicone band that I bought off Amazon. It's a great watch but I have my eye on the new Suunto Peak Pro ;⁠-⁠)

[@elflakeador09]

Is their any running hats that cater for large heads (61cm) , they are impossible to find lightweight ones

[@SeeChadRun]

That's a fair question. I'm sure there are some and while most hats work well for a 58 centimeter, I don't know of any hat brands that tailor specifically to larger heads.

[@elflakeador09]

I might look into the Fractel brand thanks

[@SeeChadRun]

They have a bunch of great hats that aren't too expensive.

[@elflakeador09]

@@SeeChadRun Deadly thanks 👌

[@snt7817]

does the rnnr hat flip up?

[@SeeChadRun]

The RNNR hats don't flip up like BOCO "Endurance Hat - Ventilator Mesh" does.
