I need the coolest looking and functional run cap

Price no object. Coolest looking and functional running baseball style cap.

Go!!

I don’t think my post will qualify but I’m proud of my handiwork none-the-less. I have a visor that matches my team kit. Was concerned about heat and sun in Couer D’Alene, so I stiched my white doo-rag (initially puchased to keep my hair out of my eyes in my ice hockey helmet) into it. Worked great though it looked a tad silly.

Raced a duathlon today and reused it. Funny thing though, in an all women’s event folks thought I was doing a run-away bride thing.

Good luck.

Nike Gyakusou tailwind collabs are probably the best looking. I have a maroon black and gold one and it’s my favorite hat.

I have a couple nike acg ones as well that I love and wear the hell out of. They stink. Only piece of athletic wear I have that smells which is surprising because I sweat a ton.

Headsweats brand has a variety of different running caps.

Ciele Running caps are the best in my opinion, cool looking, a wide variety of styles and super light.

I also own a Boco and am happy with it, light and nice design

I really like my head sweats race cap. It’s so lightweight and breathable but isn’t a mesh top which was important to me because I have a shaved head. I went with straight white because it jives with my kit but I think it’s offered in other designs

Buy what you think is cool…hundreds of options out there.

I like head sweats too.

Love the looks I get with the cameo and golf theme.

I’ve got 2 great hats from dicks sporting goods. Go to the women’s golf section. There you will find soft hats with holes in the back part that are great for ventilation. $20 to $28

-Ciele, running hipster shit.
-Rabbit’s hats made by Boco, Boco’s stuff is so comfy and well designed.

-Arcteryx, look like trail running 1%er.

Have a look at the saloman air logo short peak caps, love being able to flip the peak up or down,bit like a cycling cap

Nike booster cap.

vented, light weight, isolated fabric from main fabric “no sweatband” at forehead keeps the head cool.

I have this in grey, black, orange and brown hair … always an eye catcher and some ask if its my real hair … :slight_smile:

Here are two options that are so uncool they might actually be cool since no one else will be wearing them.

Boston Scally Trainer Series - So you can pretend to be a bad arse Southie instead of a skinny triathlete/runner. Comes in Plaid too as a bonus.

Shelta Raptor V2 - Boonie Hat that doesn’t flop when you run and is great for water sports.

I actually rock one of these when doing long runs (2+ hours) or yard work under the Florida sun. It keeps the sun off your head, face, ears and neck. Has a small pouch you can stash a key or credit car in as well. Bonus is that it floats so you can wear it to the beach and swim with it. The front brim is formed plastic so it looks pretty dorky but it is super functional.

For a regular baseball type hat check out Melin hats. I don’t have one but they seem pretty cool. They are also completely waterproof so you can sweat in them or swim in them.

I have raced and training in hats from Fractel - much easier to get these now that they have a US distribution site, as opposed to coming from AUS.
