## Description

Function lies at the heart of this street-styled cap. It shields you from the sun with UPF 50+ protection, keeps your brow dry with the TransAction headband, and stores away in your pocket with the help of the folding brim. Multiple sizes are offered to help find the perfect fit.

Review: Comfortable, EDC cap for sun protection - First off, I was very impressed with the packaging and how the hat came in a nice box. It actually makes for a far nicer presentation than I expected (which was just to have a crumpled hat in an envelope). The hat, itself is extremely lightweight, cool and comfortable. The large size happened to fit my head almost perfectly, just slightly loose, which was unexpected since I have a fairly large melon. I like the unstructured, foldable design which allows you to carry it in a day pack or pocket so you can always have head protection on you when you need it. That's why I consider it an EDC hat because it's the only one I have that I can keep on me without having to wear it all day. Seems well constructed and I like the cool feel of the Supplex nylon. Finally, I like the fact that there aren't any strange adjustment straps to fool with, just a simple, fitted design. I realize this may turn off some people, especially those with long hair who want to wear it in a ponytail but if you've got short hair or are bald, this is the one!
Review: Large fits 7 1/2 perfectly - Top notch cadet cap!! The large fit my 7 1/2 sized noggin perfectly and very comfortably. Love how lightweight the material is and it has the military look I want without actually being like all the non-breathable surplus hats out there I have. I love it and might order another one for a backup while it’s still on sale.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Looking for a hat to wear in tbe hot sun, is this light and would it be good as a summer hat? I do see any vents.**
A: This is a very good hat for hot weather. I wear it in the Arizona summers with no trouble! There are no vents, but the fabric is very lightweight, so your head does not get sweaty. Definitely recommend!

**Q: A question for the owner: What size head do the various sizes of this hat fit?**
A: I wear a 7 1/8 -7 1/4" hat, depending on the maker.  I have several of these Radar Pocket Caps and LOVE them.  There is a very tiny bit of variation from one hat to another, but I find that the medium size fits fine.  On some of these caps, the medium is a bit snug (but not uncomfortably so) and on others the fit is just a tiny bit looser (which I like better.)  I chalk this up to variations in manufacturing.  If your head is bigger than 7 1/4, you will likely find that the medium is too small for you.

**Q: Hello, I use a 7 5/8 size hat, what size would this be? Thanks**
A: L = 7 1/4 - 7 3/8	XL = 7 1/2 - 8

**Q: size**
A: I wear 7 1/8 and medium fits fine

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Large fits 7 1/2 perfectly
*by B***S on July 27, 2025*

Top notch cadet cap!! The large fit my 7 1/2 sized noggin perfectly and very comfortably. Love how lightweight the material is and it has the military look I want without actually being like all the non-breathable surplus hats out there I have. I love it and might order another one for a backup while it’s still on sale.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice travel hat, sizing was off
*by V***R on November 22, 2022*

I’m a big fan of cadet caps in general, and the Outdoor Research brand in particular. I’ve owned a waterproof version of this hat for years that goes everywhere I travel. It’s a bit hot sometimes so I decided to pick up a non-waterproof version in a different color. The hat is lightweight and designed to fold in half and easily sit in your back pocket or a backpack when not in use. It has a lower profile that looks good on me, whereas baseball caps sometimes swallow my head and make me look 14. The only issue I had was sizing. My other O/R hat was a large, but this large was way too big. So back it went for a Medium, which is a bit tight but will stretch over time. O/R must have changed its sizing over the years, so check closely when you order. I paid $22 for this, and have noticed that the price fluctuates. So I’d suggest adding it to your cart and let Amazon tell you when the price drops.
