We are committed to doing things the right way, not the easy way. That’s why we design and build our fabrics from the ground up and customize the fits to match. The standard approach—the one nearly everyone takes—is to slap a logo on some off-the-shelf hat that already exists. The world’s landfills are full of hats that are made like this. We reject that outright. That’s not how you build gear that lasts.
We invest the time, effort, and energy to do it our way. We take pride in every stitch, we obsess over every detail, so that it meets our standards.
Two things make running in the Florida sunshine even better. A rucksack to increase our VO2 Max and a featherweight ToughMesh hat to keep our core temp down and the sun’s cancer rays off our skin. ToughMesh is our premium Italian fabric that weighs just barely more than nothing and dries lightning fast - even after you jump your sweat drenched body in the pool after a long, hard ruck run. We are meant to live life at the edges, the A/C life is not for us. Wear hard, use often.

"The featherweight Rucking Hat is awesome. It's perfect for me...something easy to pack, works great when getting sweaty, fits well, love that there's no button on top, and easy to clean so can wear "out on the town" as well. I travel all the time and if I'm only taking one hat, it's this one. (Winter time excluded...then, I'd take a beanie too. ) The hardest part is not leaving it in a restaurant!"
"It’s my new go to running and lifting hat. Very surprised at first How breathable yet structured it is at the same time. Finally starting to show some salt stains from the grind. Can’t wait to wear it in my half marathon at the end of September. My only issue is it’s so big I have small head so I have tighten it so tight. Maybe offer two sizes?"
"Did not fit. Hat was too deep. More flimsy than expected. I like your TAC hats, but this fit terribly. I gave it away."
"Very comfortable, minimalistic and a good value. Execution could improve as the sweatband bunches up near the brim and looks a bit dumpy. I wear a size large is most fitted hats, for reference."
"Great hat."
"Perfect running hat! Lightweight, breathable and dries quick! A must for summer!"
"Thin lightweight soft material that is durable, its now my favorite hat!!"
"I bought this hat specifically for running, and so far it’s amazing. It’s stylish, lightweight and dries quickly. Seems to be the same high quality I’ve come to expect from all my GoRuck gear."
"Super light, fits perfectly and built to last."
"It’s awesome and I would have loved it i think except the one size swallowed my head. On snap backs I am using all buttons (all holes are filled with all snaps) or minus one or two spots to make it bigger depending on cap style/if it shrinks, so smaller head, not total pin head though (I don’t think). It says large on the inside and so apparently there are sizes, or were available. But the Large was what came in the absence of being able to choose a size. So I gave it away. I love the tough mesh fabric. There seem to be two versions with one being soft and one being more papery feeling, but not uncomfortable. This was the super soft version. I have one tank top in this super soft version (bring the tank tops back!!!) and it’s both soft and indestructible. And this hat seems to be made out of that version. I gave it away because I got it for $18. I have 5 or 6 tough dry hats I wear often for crossfit, ocean, swimming, everything really. It says same size as those but it doesn’t seem to be, AND the material is so much stretchier that getting it to fit snug means it’s way too big. And the nylon on the tough dry hats draws up a bit."
