GADIEMKENSDUnstructured Quick Dry Sports Cap Outdoor Sun Protective Unisex

Bought for holidays and running. Very light weight, fit is very good, great price. Material is great and thin but not too thin. Arrived very quickly.Highly recommended

I'm a keen runner, but I don't cope well in the heat. I end up sweating pretty heavily and that eventually ends up with sweat running down my forehead and into my eyes. I discovered buffs a while back, and although they certainly work well to avoid the sweat, it's not a look that suits me. Many times after an event I cautiously browse the race photos, fearing what lies within; usually, a crazy look that in my head was 'cool pirate' but ends up looking quite ridiculous. I decided to experiment with a running cap, and of course there are many. The Gadiemens running cap appealed mainly due to its price (it's not expensive) and some decent reviews, and I figured 'why not test the waters?' I ordered the black cap, and it arrived promptly. It sure is lightweight. I've run two races and five training runs in the 8 days since I received it, with the cap being worn on all but one of those runs. It has more than lived up to my expectations, keeping the sweat from running into my eyes and also shading my eyes a bit. I can't comment on longevity, but I don't have any real concerns at this point. It dries very quickly, allowing a quick rinse under a warm tap, hang it on the washing line and it's ready to go in a few hours. A minor point that might improve it is to allow one end of the adjustable strap/buckle to be free, as how it currently works means that to tighten it up you have a slight loop in the captive strap. This is, of course, no big deal. And, of course, there's the look of the thing: it's a big step in the direction of looking someway decent during my runs - the crazy buffs gone, I now have a purposeful look, somewhere between surf bum and SWAP operative. Beats the old look, anyway. Overall, I'd recommend this cap, though I haven't tried a more expensive, recognisable running brand cap to compare. I don't feel the need to explore these, and that's definitely praise indeed.

Great cap, light weight, and good fit,

I cannot wear most sports/baseball type caps, because most one-size fittings only go up to 59/60 centimetres. I have a 61cm head circumference, measured around the head just above the ears.So most sports caps feel like I have a vice around my head, and look too small, as well as being too narrow around the peak.But these Gadiemenss Classic UP range of hats feel comfortable on, with the strap appropriately adjusted. I would say that these hats could also accommodate a head circumference a couple of centimetres larger than mine, whilst of course being able to be tightened to fit smaller head sizes.The hat itself (in black) is very stylish looking, and matches the photographs on the Amazon website. The hat seems well constructed, and the mesh side panels which blend well with the rest of the hat, allow for breathability in warm weather.The peak is broad enough for me to be able to comfortably pull the hat down when wearing a pair of wide glasses, which can also be an issue with narrower fitting caps.All round, I am delighted with the design, construction, and value for money of this product.Having purchased other colours since buying the classic black UP version, I would just like to update my review. None of the other colours was quite as generous in sizing as the black one reviewed above. Whilst all are wearable, they all seem to be slightly different in size. I don't know if this applies to all the caps of the different colours I bought or if they perhaps vary in manufacture from batch to batch. I can only say that of the ones I received that the black was the roomiest, closely followed by the light grey, the sky blue being a definitely tighter fit, and the navy the tightest fit of all. The caps themselves all appear to be of the same quality; but if you have a large head as I do, the fit can be an issue when making a decision to buy.I would also add that the price seems to have increased slightly, but this may be because delivery of more of the items is fulfilled by Amazon rather than direct from Sumier. When ordering direct from Sumier (or Charbenzewin) the Belgian postal service was very slow, taking nearly three weeks to arrive; so delivery should be quicker through Amazon.

Great little hat, good quality, nice material, very comfortable to wear, lightweight.

Nice comfortable hat with good size adjustment. Good for keeping the sun out of my eyes. Marked down because I think it's a little over priced for what it is.

This is a class cap, fits great good visor great colour, and the breathable sides are great for airflow most importantly it actually fits the head perfectly definitely recommend :)

Perfect fit
