TrailHeads Race Day Running Cap-Performance Hat ($20)
One of the top-rated running hats on Amazon, this TrailHeads pick is affordable while still packing all the necessary bells and whistles a running hat needs. That includes an adjustable hook-and-loop closure for a secure fit, a dark underbill to reduce glare, and quick-drying fabric. It is also machine washable for easy cleaning and comes in nine different colors, from neon green to black and white.
Why we love it: Reviewers praise this hat for being breathable, packable, and easy to wash. "I never wear hats. My ears stick out and so most hats don't sit right," writes one customer. "But this one fits PERFECTLY. I use it for runs and hiking. It's easy to wash and I just let it air dry. I even bought the same hat in different [colors] definitely recommend."
What's worth noting: This hat does not offer UPF protection, so while it'll give you shade, it won't offer the ultimate in sun protection. However, the brand does have other products with this feature for a few extra dollars. Some reviewers also report that the sizing varies from color to color.
