Voluntary Recall of Certain 50+ UPF StylesFree Shipping On Orders Over $49*
Voluntary Recall
We recently discovered that certain styles of the Capilene® Cool Daily and the Tropic Comfort product lines do not meet the 50+ UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating we claimed for them. They still offer solid UV protection—it’s just not as much as advertised. If you own one of these shirts, click below for more information.

Finally replaced an older version of this hat and couldn't be more stoked with my choice. Wore this for a super hot 100-mile event and its perfect for dipping in creeks to keep the head cool. Breathable and flexible--no hat headaches! Darker fabric under brim keeps reflection to a minimum.
Looking for a one hat quiver killer? Then look no further! This hat is comfortable, packable, and allows excellent airflow for those hot runs or summer sends. It even looks good as the daily driver. Make more colors PLEASE!
I love this hat.! The bill just flows perfectly with the shape of my head. Its very breathable and super comfortable. The turtles on the hat are just the cherry!
Great feel and look. Adjustable strap cinches tight. Very absorbent sweatband inside but can also accommodate additional sweatband. Stays in place when running. Soft bill retains shape but still bends easily.
I bought this hat to keep the sun off my head while surfing. It is outstanding, very comfortable, stays light and comfortable when wet and dries super fast! I love this hat! Ive tried multiple hats to keep from frying my bald head while surfing and this is my favorite by far! I wear it in the surf almost every day and it seems very durable.
Light hat that provides ample shade and keeps my head dry. Bill has a somewhat rigid bill, but stands up to some flexing and bending and holds its clean look without permanent creases. Great hat for a five lifestyles, especially long trail runs or hikes.
It does exactly what I want a hat to do. Cover my bald head. Lightweight, packable, wicks moisture and dries quickly. Stylish. It's the Swiss army knife of hats.
Nice materials, pretty cool for summer running, but I was disappointed in the look/fit. The photos make it look like a modern rounded crown hat, but mine has a pronounced point to the crown which looks kind of stupidIm not sure if thats the way they allare, or if mine was just poorly sewn. [It might not be an issue if it came in multiple sizes so I... Read More could pull it down a bit lower, but its a pretty deep hat on my medium-sized head.]

The Perfect Hat
So, this is the perfect hat for exercising. It keeps the sun and sweat out of my eyes. I actually wear this to rollerblade.
The fact that it's washable is important; I usually destroy other hats with white salty deposits. But you just pop this hat in the washer and it comes completely clean. The white part does yellow over time but it goes ba... Read Moreck to white after washing. The shape of the hat bounces back, too, no matter how you handle it.
The only negative part is that this hat isn't the perfect fit for my tall head. I'd like it to sit more like the guy in the picture, but there's quite a bit of room between my ears and the hat. I did say that this hat fits true-to-size, and it does. I have this problem with other hats, too. I just wish they made a larger size for people with bigger, taller heads. It doesn't affect my rating.
I was hoping this would be more form fitting on my head but I felt that it was king of sitting on top of my head. I tried it around the house but my head was just to big for it. I used two snaps which made if fit around but it almost didn't feel deep enough for my head. I ended up gifting it to my sister-in-law and she loves it. Just not the r... Read Moreight fit for my head. All synthetic is nice so you don't need to worry about stink as much as a cotton hat.
This hat looks good and I like the soft(ish) bill, but has a few flaws:
It is hot. I was hoping for a good warm weather hat, but the front is really warm and makes my head sweat. However, it isn't showing any sweat stains yet.
The smaller size and soft structure of the hat makes it so you have to wear it fairly tight, otherwise it kind of cre... Read Moreeps up to the top of your head and the front liner folds/bulges out.
The strap in the back slips, so you need to adjust it nearly every time you put it on.

Cool.
Best hat ever. Pretty please, some better colors. Black is hot and sea foam is lame.
The trucker front is actually a great sweat sponge (come on runners you get it.) The duck bill folds up and out of the way. But what sold me was the alligator and cotton pattern. Love the fit, love the style and it stays through all conditions.
One size fits all is not a great plan for headgear. I like these truckers for running because they are pretty absorbent, do a good job of channeling sweat off of my head, don't get smelly super fast and hold up to washing really well. However, I'm a smallish guy and this hat looks ridiculously huge on my head. The crown swells outward giv... Read Moreing me a bulbous, "Mars Attacks" profile and the basket of the hat is deep enough that the hat sits down on my ears and pushes them outward in a Prince Charles kinda way. C'mon, you're Patagonia for God's sake! Offer S/M/L choices or something.

Runs very small
Doesn't fit my head at all even fully extended, wish it came in a couple sizes or even just Small/Large. Sad I'm forced to return as I love it otherwise.
The details on this had a great call and it is lightweight, Bremmer is very flexible without bending, works sweat very well. The only drawback is that it runs small, specifically from the base of the head above the ears to the crown of the head. I really have to pull it down far and since the back very tight to make it feel like it is not going to ... Read Morefall off. However I do have a large head, typically wear anywhere between 7 3/8to 7 3/4 hat size.
I love the idea behind this hat... the materials and style are great. But... I have a normal sized head (I'm 5'10" and wear a medium everything) and I had to loosen the back strap all the way in order to put the hat on, and it's so shallow that it won't even pull all the way down onto my head. The hat that I received absolu... Read Moretely does not have the same dimensions as the one in the listing (unless the guy in the pics is very small).
Thank you for providing your comments toward the fit of this hat and we are sorry to hear that this didn't work well for you. Please feel free to send this back to us for a [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).
This hat is incredibly comfortable! It's great for casual wear wicks sweat, and breathes pretty well. It does sit a little tall on you're head just because the foam front is quite large. I also wish it was a little more similar to the traditinal duckbill hat from patagonia, a little more on the floppy side so you could shove it in your po... Read Morecket and not worry about bending/creasing as much. But over all its awesome for running, casual wear, or anytime you need to shield your eyes from that fiery ball in the sky.
Dude, I look awful in trucker hats. But, I love the material of this hat, especially the breath ability of the vented mesh area. So, i removed the trucker padding with a razor blade and scraped any remnants with a butter knife. The hat slouches just a little but on the front panel but I’m so glad I did it. Great fit, so breathable, great fabric for... Read More trail running. Washes well which is good because it takes on sweat. Can’t say enough about this hat. Will purchase another and modify again.
Is a little on the smaller size. Great material I've been wearing it for golf and it doesn't show all the sweat stains like other hats. (Arizona heat)Nice color but the little zip clasp on the back does move the size every time you put it on.
I've been looking for a cap which i can use for running, cycling and just for casual wear. I've spent a lot of time searching in the web and patagonia caught my eyes. I watched 2 youtube reviews of their duckbill and duckbill trucker from their customers. This trucker cap is fashionable and has plain and simple designs. So, crossing my fi... Read Morengers with closed eyes, i punched in my orders on their online shop, this one and 2 duckbills(not trucker) knowing that the sizes of those might not fit my big head haha.. Package arrived in my doorstep in just 3 days here in singapore(amazing!).. Unboxed. Fitted. And yes!! It is a perfect fit for my big head. Actually it is still roomy maybe because im hairless. Just for reference, i am M-L or in some cases L in cap sizing. I think my head size is within 59-61cm if i remember it right.
To you reading this. This trucker hat is awesome!
I like this hat. I have the unstructured duckbill running hat and this structured one. It absorbs sweat really well, is light on the head, and keeps its shape well. However, it is crazy tall - I feel like I'm wearing a firefighting helmet. I would love to see a middle ground between the unstructured head-hugging duckbill cap and this tall one.... Read More
Good sun protection. Stays cool. I like the glare reducing black underside on the brim. I don’t have a big head and it fits snug when strap is all the way loose. Do not get this style hat if you have a large head.
Thanks for your feedback, Jeff! We've passed it along.

Duckbill Trucker Hat
The hat is great, sits up off my head to provide ventilation underneath the non mesh portion. The melon heads complain about it being too small, but I could go a bit smaller. I must be a pea head. I have trucker and regular duckbill, like and use both, depending if I want to put in pocket during run or not. Great for diverting sweat and blocking su... Read Moren on the trail or road.
I’ve has this hat for many years now, I use it and throw it in the washing machine, air dry and still look and feel as the first day. I have a “big head”, so yes indeed, it runs small, but not crazy small just a little bit tight, mine is adjusted all the way to the end and it still tight. Long story short, I’ve ran many marathons with this hat and ... Read Morestill love it!
This hat is so comfortable. Great for adventuring or casual wear. The brim is not stiff, which tends to bug me with other hats during activities. The hat stays on while skiing fast too! It can also be shoved into a backpack without loosing its shape!
Looks sharp and I like the material, but it's somehow simultaneously too shallow and too tall. It feels small and rides high & vertical on my head. As a result i'm mostly wearing it backwards during runs to keep the sun off of my head and as a sweatband.
Hello Mike. We're sorry to hear you're disappointed with the fit of this hat. Please don't hesitate to contact our [Customer Service](https://www.patagonia.com/customer-service.html) team if you would like to return it.

Tough to beat
Great hat. Nice and light. Fabric handles sweat better than most.
I find it very hard to find a hat that looks good on me, but no issues with the duckbill trucker. I'm 5'6" and don't have a massive head, and I LOVE this hat. I'm just sad that the "wish tails" design isn't available anymore.
Agree with the other reviewers. I typically wear a L/XL hat or 7 1/2 fitted cap. This hat is too small and my wife is now a proud owner of a duckbill trucker
Like the hat, however it's uncomfortably small for my head and has been handed down to my wife (who wears it all the time). Please consider making a large size!
I gave the updated version a try for a few days and to my dismay, the sizing was not updated and it still runs too small for anyone with a larger head. At a 7 5/8s hat size this hat creates uncomfortable pressure on the forehead making it too uncomfortable to wear anywhere outside of the water. The elastic band does not stretch far enough to accomm... Read Moreodate the stretch required to fit right.
Please make this hat in a S/M, L/XL like so many other hats you offer.........
Otherwise great hat
I've always wanted one of these hat and while i was in NYC i got to grab one for the sweltering summer sun. My only wished there was an additional size (larger) for this design. Unfortunately , i'm always left out on the one size fit all hats. They're always too small. So, if you have a big ol' noggin- this might not work for yo... Read Moreu. Otherwise go for it. PLEASE MAKE A LARGER SIZE?
I've had this hat for a month and plan to buy a few more. It has been soaked with copious amounts of sweat and countless hours on the trail,yet no sweat stains or smell and still looks brand new! Adequate brim for shade or flip it backwards for additional air flow.
I've had two of these hats since they first came out and can say they are my go to hats from anything from trail running to whitewater rafting. Breathes and dries incredibly well. Even the bill has wicking material,which is amazing! I would ask the designers to come out with a grey or black mesh. Also a wide range of colors solid earth tones a... Read Morend bright colors would be awesome! Outstanding product and will be adding more of these to my collection.
I've used mine for two years,mainly when I run to keep sweat out of my eyes. It's easily washable in the washing machine to keep it fresh,breathes really well and is super comfortable.
