Outdoor Research Swift Lite Tech Cap
TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE FOR TRAIL & ALPINE PURSUITS.
The Swift Lite Tech Cap is a lightweight, breathable technical hat designed for high-energy outdoor activities such as trail running, backpacking, or long days exploring the alpine.
Crafted from an ultra-breathable, bluesign® approved polyester blend, this cap is quick-drying and moisture-wicking—ideal for fast-paced trail activities. The ultralight fabric is treated with DWR for added water resistance, while the built-in UPF 30 offers essential protection from the sun’s UV rays. The quick-release buckle at the back ensures a custom, adjustable fit, while perforations on the side panels enhance breathability and ventilation. With just the right amount of stretch, this cap delivers a comfortable, all-day fit.
Focused on breathability, ventilation, and technical performance, the Swift Lite Tech Cap is a must-have accessory for any outdoor athlete.
