Buff Pack Run Hat

 So I recently won a new Buff Pack Run Hat and figured the least I could do is write up a 30 mile review.

  First thoughts are the hat is super light. The fabric and bill felt really flimsy when its in your hand , but once you put it on the bill stiffens and forms to your head. The sides of the hat are vented to let the heat escape so this is not something to wear when it's cold out. The back is open and adjustable with a pull cord that surprised me and stayed in place. I'm used to running hats with a Velcro or snap adjustment but the simple elastic pull cord works well.
 
   The bill seems short but does a good job of keeping rain out of your eyes and pulling the sweat away from your brow as well. I've ran twice with a head lamp on and it will sit comfortably and not bounce around.



So far, I've put 30 miles on the hat, sweated quite a bit and it doesn't stink. I wish I could say the same for my running shirts, most of which didn't make it through the summer.

All in all, another great Buff product and I am very pleased with it.
