Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Radar Pocket Cap

Backcounrty skinning...perfect in the pack!

Hat is great! It is easy to pack away and pull out once you take your helmet off. The only con is the sizing can be inconsistent from hat to hat.

This highly portable and stylish cap is perfect when I don't need a full-size visor (that is most of the time). This is critical for me when doing photography.

Love the flexible cap, great for traveling or folding to put into pockets. Great colors and breathable. Only con is that the bill is short so some of the face is not protected from sun exposure.

Wanted a light weight hat with a brim for in-between weather for hiking: not too hot and sunny and not too cold and wet. This fits the bill quite nicely in those terms and it can be folded without damaging it. The only beef is that it's obviously much larger than a medium should be (based on the various other hats and bike helmets I've had over the years that are all mediums). I had to put a fair bit of 3/16" foam weatherstripping inside the headband to get it to fit well enough to stay on in the wind.

Got this hat on sale, love the profile. Several other brands have either a cinch cord or other form of tightening the hat. According to the sizing I need a large, but the lightest breeze will send the hat flying because it sits a smudge too loose. I've tried to size down but it's too tight and gives me headaches. Would love to see a Velcro strap or cinch cord to adjust how tight this cap is, that or an elasticized material/band so it fit snugly.

With my large head, this hat's larger fit actually does the trick! It's labeled as XL but I have an XXL head, which is why I said it's bigger than expected. I wear my hat all the time :) This is my 3rd hat in this style from Outdoor Research. I keep losing them when I fold and store them lol

Great stylish Sun protection in all sorts of settings.

Have had 4 of these hats previously and really like them. Very comfortable, cool on hot days, and handy. I had xlarge before and fit just right. Ordered 4 more because some were on sale. Disappointed when they arrived. They are not the same size. They seem to be a half or full size small. Hopefully they will stretch because I hate sending things back. Must be made by a different place. Oh well.

Brim is a bit short, but folds and stores well.

My husband bought this for himself. He bought XL and it was to small. When I called to return I was told it is sized for unisex and as a result runs small so keep this in mind when ordering.

Great hat that shrinks slightly when washed. I first bought a medium that was too large and then a small which was way to small. Turns out that all I needed to do was run the medium through the was and it would fit perfectly. So if you find yourself caught between sizes think about sizing up. This hat is great for everything. I use it as a travel hat and I even do some gym climbing in it. Light weight foldable/smashable and a good price. As an amature photographer I like the short brim as it stays out of the way when using a dSLR.

Very rugged for as light weight as it is.

I must of purchased about 3-4 of these by now. The problem is I keep loosing them cause of there small size and there ease of being packed.

Great hat to throw in the bag for when you need it and not worry about it getting squished and misshapen. Wish is had a slit for a ponytail to go through the back. That would make it my favourite hat.

Love this hat, and after losing one on a trip tried to replace it. But the XL now fits like the L used to a few years ago. Too small and returned. Other than that it's a great hat and I've still got one of the old ones that I wear quite a bit.

Found out that my head is between sizes. Ordered med which was too tight and then got large which was too big. I put some thin foam tape in the back of the sweat band to snug up the fit. One minor annoyance is that the fold in the brim isn't centered. So when I wear the hat with the brim centered on my head, the fold appears crooked when viewed head-on. I really like the style and color pewter.

Love this hat. Light-weight, great for traveling, versatile, easy to clean. 4 stars instead of 5 only because the hat is a bit deeper than I'd prefer - I have a big grape on my shoulders, and when I put it on, it fits well in terms of diameter, but there's still a little bit of space between the top of my head and the hat - not a deal-breaker, just not perfection. Love the fold, too.

I bought this hat to wear on a six month trip to Nepal, Thailand and New Zealand. I pretty much wore it every day, rain or shine. I used it while hiking, on the beach, or in town. It keeps the sun and rain off of your face and packs down amazingly small. It's a one size fits all, and it fit me perfectly but it may not fit people who have smaller heads. Because I wore it so much the green color faded from the elements. I think it looks cool faded but others may not.

Good hat, only thing is it feels a little loose. Pity it doesn't have any sort of rain proof lining. Other than that, stylish, and comfortable, very good in strong sun.

I bought the XL and it is still too small for my head. Other than that is a nice hat and I have no complaints.

I love this hat but there is no way to wear it with a ponytail. To be perfect, this hat needs a hole at the back so a ponytail can be pulled through it.

I bought this because the radar visor isn't available anymore. I don't like this har as much as the visor. I have thick hair that seems to prevent this hat from staying on my head very well. I do love its packability though. Hoping OR will bring back the visor.

Sizing was unexpected, and felt smaller than previous OR hats I have owned.

Following sizing guide the hats too tight. Size up if buying.
