Designed for full-on sun exposure, this cap offers serious coverage without sacrificing breathability or comfort.
Buff says:
The Desert Cap provides all-around protection with a difference: a multiposition cape means a functional piece of headwear for extreme temperatures and exposure. 360º coverage and UPF 50 sun protection shelter your head, neck and face from the sun's rays. At the same time, an overlapping fabric, innovative ventilation, and lightweight, breathable construction ensure no compromise on comfort and coolness. The Desert Cap's versatile and improved visibility keeps you comfortable all day, even in the hottest and harshest conditions.
Our Verdict
The Buff Desert Cap is one of the most functional sun hats for hot, exposed trails. The multi-position cape provides excellent protection for the neck and ears, and I appreciate the thought that went into airflow. Overlapping panels and well-placed vents help prevent it from becoming stifling. The fit is secure thanks to the elastic closure, and there’s even a built-in loop to keep your sunglasses in place.
It’s not the most compact piece of headwear, but if I know I’ll be out all day in the heat, this is the cap I want in my kit.
