The Outdoor Research Swift Cap is an ultra-lightweight, breathable headwear for various activities. The cap's stretchy fabric and drawcord adjustment ensure a secure fit, while its UPF 30 protection shields against UV rays.

Outdoor Research says: 

The Swift Ultra Light Cap blends bluesign® approved recycled materials with high-performance, ultralight design elements for minimalist face and head protection and moisture-wicking for trail running, hiking, gym and track workouts, or any active pursuit. The Swift Lite Ultra Cap's stretchy hybrid construction utilizes our legendary Echo fabric and focuses on weight-saving minimalism and performance, providing face and head sun protection and superior breathability. It weighs next to nothing and is ultra-packable, easily stored in a hip pack or running vest. The drawcord adjustment provides a secure, custom fit, built-in UPF 30 protects skin from the sun's rays, and the reflective logo increases visibility in low-light conditions. Constructed for ultralight performance with premium materials, the breathable, quick-drying Swift Ultra Light Cap is an ideal accessory for active use outdoors or indoors.

Our Verdict

The Outdoor Research Swift Ultra Light Cap is an excellent choice for active pursuits where lightweight head protection and moisture-wicking performance are needed. True to its name, this cap is incredibly light at just 38-40 grams, making it virtually unnoticeable on your head during activities like trail running, hiking, gym workouts, or any other sweat-inducing endeavour.

The hybrid construction utilises OR's stretchy and breathable Echo fabric, allowing the cap to move with you and provide excellent ventilation to keep you cool and dry. The close-to-head fit and drawcord adjustment ensures a secure and customised fit. Despite being so light and thin, the UPF 30 sun protection shields your face and head from harsh UV rays.

One standout feature is how packable this cap is - you can easily stuff it into a hip pack or running vest when not in use. The reflective logo is an excellent safety touch for low-light visibility as well.

Environmentally conscious buyers will appreciate that the Swift Ultra Light Cap incorporates bluesign-approved recycled polyester. Outdoor Research did not compromise on technical performance by using these sustainable materials.

Overall, the Swift Ultra Light Cap should be at the top of your list if you prioritise lightweight minimalism, sweat-wicking breathability, and sun protection for your active outdoor pursuits. It provides impressive performance in a featherweight, packable design that is ideal for throwing in your pack no matter where the trails take you.
