Running Hats and Caps

A running cap has a curved brim and a close, soft fit that stays put at speed. It's the pick for tempo runs, intervals and race day.

A running bucket hat adds a full brim, shading your face, ears and the back of your neck. It suits slower, longer runs, hikes and hot days when sun coverage matters more than speed. Both use the same lightweight fabric.

Heavy cotton caps trap heat and hold sweat. Our running hats use a light polyester that breathes, dries fast and sits soft on your head instead of holding a stiff shape, so it moves with you rather than bouncing around mid run. UV protection is built in for training outdoors.

Our running caps and buckets come in bold colourblock panels rather than prints: Neon Lagoon in cyan and lime, Sunset Static, Blue Blaze, and Pink, Orange and Blue for anyone after a pink running hat. New colourways drop through the year, so match your kit, your run club or just grab the brightest one.

The same light, quick dry build works for the gym, cycling, an ocean swim walk back up the beach, travel or a hot day running errands. If you're sick of sweating under a cotton cap, this range covers more ground than the name suggests.

What makes a running hat different from a regular cap?
A running hat uses a lighter, quick dry fabric and a softer, unstructured fit. A regular cotton cap is heavier, traps heat and holds sweat.

Are your running caps mens or womens?
Both. Every running cap and running bucket hat is unisex, one size, with an adjustable fit that suits most adult heads.

Should I get a running cap or a running bucket hat?
Go for a cap if you want a close fit for faster sessions. Go for a bucket hat if you want more sun coverage on your ears and neck for longer or hotter runs.

Do your running hats have UV protection?
Yes. UV protection is built into the fabric, which helps on long sessions outdoors. Keep wearing sunscreen as well.

Is it worth wearing a hat when running?
In Australia, yes. A running hat shades your face from the sun and keeps sweat out of your eyes. The key is a light, quick dry style rather than a heavy cotton cap.
