Comfortable and light cap good for wet weather. Recommend that the band in contact with head be made of micofleece for quicker drying. After hiking and running trails it took hours to dry.

I bought this hat for my husband who has a small head and finds it hard to get a hat to fit. He loves this hat. I (who doesn't look good in hats, or wear them) tried on my husbands hat and immediately order myself one. They are awesome. We love them.

The EMS Thunderhead cap is my favorite. It's lightweight, comfortable and waterproof. Had my first one for years, until the Santa Cruz Big Dipper roller coaster blew it away ... so I immediately bought another one.

I liked the Mexican Burn color. The visor of the hat is pre-shaped, which makes it ready to wear.

Hard To Put On Or Take Off

I think they need to change the adjustment band to a velcro strap, instead of the drawstring.

 
One size fits all does not
By SparkyVerified Reviewer from Newport, RI on 1/29/2007
Pros:
Durable
Cons:
fits small heads only
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This is a nice looking, well made hat, but it is made so small that it sits on my head like a beanie. The size adjustment in the back doesn't help, because where it is too small is in the overall shape of the crown. I compared it to other baseball hats I own, and the crown is much smaller on this cap. Too bad, it's a nice cap otherwise.

Feels good, stays on, waterproof
By philspilVerified Reviewer from Rye, NY on 1/2/2007
Pros:
Breathable, Comfortable, Dries Quickly, Durable, Easy To Put On And Take Off, Stays On
Cons:
Clasp doesn't always hold
Best Uses:
Boating, Convertible Miata Etc, Paddling, Wakeboarding, Waterskiing, Whitewater Rafting

My 2nd hat of this model. First one holds tight. Can tighten with one had while I still holding on to steering wheel (convertible with roof down). Can place my hair (ponytail length) under elastic so hair doesn't blow around. With new hat, the clasp doesn't always hold, so I have to tighten often. Quality control missed this. Other than clasp problem, these two hats are my favorite hats of my life, that's why I bought an extra one, because I was afraid you would stop making them.

Great Lid!
By beejayVerified Reviewer from chicago on 9/25/2006
Pros:
Breathable, Comfortable, Dries Quickly, Durable, Easy To Put On And Take Off
Cons:
A little warm sometimes
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Biking, Day hiking, Everyday travel

This is a wonderful hat for a great price. Performs great in the wet weather I experienced in the Rockies. In the city it serves as a great rain hat while I'm biking around.

The hat is very comfortable and adjust easily with the cinch chord. One little problem with the cinch chord is if you wear the hat backwards, it kinda hangs in your face.

The hat can be somewhat warm on hot sunny days, but not horribly so. It's a great hat for the rain, which is what it is made for.
