Large heads rejoice
Early impressions are fantastic.
As someone with a larger head, finding hats that actually fit well is a challenge. This one nails it. The fit is excellent—comfortable, secure, and sits properly without feeling shallow or tight. The material feels premium, and the construction is top notch. Even the logo stitching is clean and precise. Zero complaints so far. This is easily one of the best lightweight hats I’ve come across.
I picked it up in both black and forage, and I’m already considering the moondrop colour. The black with gold is stealthy with just the right amount of contrast, while the forage is earthy, minimal, and easy to wear.
Honestly, no cons at this point. This is the hat I’ve been searching for. Multiple compliments within the first week of wear.
S-tier hat.

Love this hat
I really like this hat. I checked all 5 of Arcteryx’s offerings for the breathability line and landed on this. The brim is a nice size and structured just enough. The material is super breathable - I wear it on warmer days and my head doesn’t sweat nearly as much as traditonal hats. I actually purchased this for sunny ski touring, but now it’s become one of my go-to everyday items. I’ll probably buy a second color…

Not Bad
This hat is functional and has a nice cropped graphic but I would prefer it with a structured front.

I don’t think this hat has any flaws
For starters I’m bald and shave my head often. So I feel like I’m constantly looking for the right hats. I’ve had this for 24 hours and truly find it to be thee most comfortable hat I’ve tried and checks so many boxes. It seems fairly breathable but haven’t gotten to use it actively yet. It has such a comfortable band. Again, for a bald guy it’s so ideal. It’s super soft. I’m sure it packs well. I’m 6 feet tall with a fairly normal to slightly large head and small/medium is perfect whereas for tried the gamma in s/m and it was laughably small. I hope they use these materials more in other hats because it’s just that comfortable.
