Comfortable and Lightweight

"I ordered the Elite Crusher and really like it. The hot and humid temperatures here in North Carolina definitely make running a challenge but this hat did great on my test run. It's moisture wicking, lightweight, and the adjustable bungee made it very easy to adjust. The mesh and fabric mix makes it cooler and it is very soft and comfortable to wear. Definitely recommend!"

YES 😆

"I haven't been a fan of running with hats because I have a big head and alot of hats feel like they don't fit right for me. But within the past year or so, I've been trying to make myself enjoy it and it's been working but I'm still picky about which ones feel comfortable. The Elite Crusher Hat, though, *thumbs up* times ten! So light, breathable (I could feel the air cooling off my sweaty head 😆), and the bungee closure was something I didnt know I needed! 😆 Very happy and very impressed with how much I really like it!"

Lightweight, Moisture Wicking and a Great Fit!

New trail gear

"This hat has found it's way into my required gear bag for all trail activities after just 1 hike. Probably gonna have to get a couple more."

Stop sending me marketing emails

"I have asked repeatedly to remove me from your mailing list to no avail. Maybe a single star review will stop them."
