Headsweats has become my go-to

"Headsweats has become my go-to running hat. The adjustable fit makes it quick and easy to tighten or loosen, so it stays comfortable no matter the workout. Whether I’m heading out for a short run or logging long marathon training miles, it fits great and never becomes a distraction. It keeps the sun out of my eyes so I can stay focused on the run, and when it gets covered in sweat, it’s incredibly easy to clean and looks ready for the next workout. If you’re looking for a lightweight, comfortable, and reliable running hat, Headsweats is tough to beat"

Cute. Cooling. Comfy.

"I loved this hat so much. It fit my hair (naturally curly and thick) great which is always hard to do. It kept me cool during my long run and was super cute. Highly recommend!"

Not a big fan…

"Didn’t fit my head well - leaving extra unfilled space above the top of my head. Also,I prefer a firmer bill – this one is very soft and flexible…"

Excellent running hats

"First time trying the elite running hats. They are perfect for lessening sweat drip during hot/humid runs. I have been running in the basic performance hats for 10+ years and the elites are even better!"

Great fit, comfy, fast drying

"I'm not a runner, but this hat will become my go to for hiking! It's so light weight and comfortable and easily packable when you want to go hat free. I tend to get annoyed with regular hats after a while on hikes, especially when it's hot out, but this one is perfect."

Comfort, Visibility, and the Perfect Fit

"One of my favorite features is how flexible and packable it is. If I decide to take it off during a run, I can easily tuck it into my waistband without it being bulky or uncomfortable. The XL size is also a game changer for me. I have a lot of hair, and it’s often difficult to find running hats that fit comfortably, but this one fits perfectly without feeling too tight or rising up on my head during the run. The reflective bungee cord on the back is another huge plus. As someone who does a lot of early morning and late night running, any extra visibility is always appreciated. It’s a thoughtful feature that adds safety. Overall, this is one of the best running hats I’ve owned, and I highly recommend it!"

Bombarded with marketing emails

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