Form & Fit. These caps have a geodesic, orange peel construction that facilitates an easy-on, easy-off fit. The material has limited wicking capability, and sweat will build-up underneath during vigorous activities. Sizing is generous and the caps easily pull down over the ears on those days when winds are gusty and the temps drop into the 20’s-30’s ºF). Since the size is generous, it will fit anyone in need of a larger size. For many, there will be some looseness to the cap but not enough to be stripped off by a strong wind. Still, an inner elastic added to the band would be a welcome addition to future iterations of this cap.Color choice & visibility. These caps are offered in a variety of colors, and making a choice would be based on when one is worn. If you walk, walk dogs, run, bike, or work outdoors, then visibility is an important consideration for preventing those accidental, close encounters with traffic. During neighborhood walks I always wear a brightly colored cap to be visible. My color choices are either Lime or Orange depending on outdoor lighting conditions (see model photos). I usually wear the orange during bright, daylight hours and the lime during lowlight and overcast sky conditions. This way I feel confident that I can be seen by others despite the Purkinje effect.The Purkinje effect? It is the shift in color visibility by the human eye relative to other colors due to changes in background lighting conditions. In general, it means that under bright light conditions, the more visible colors are bright reds and oranges, while under dimmer light, bright yellows, greens, and some blues would have higher visibility.

Basically, this is the only thing in their inventory Carhartt hasn't cheap out on, downgraded, reduced wearability, and increased the price on yet.
