Legionnaire Running Hats & Caps
Designed with UPF50+ protection across the brim, front and sides and UPF30+ coverage on the top and neck; each legionnaires cap provides full-surface defence in harsh conditions. Breathable fabrics help regulate heat, while the dark underbill reduces glare on bright trail sections. A SWIFTdry™ sweat-absorbing headband keeps you cool, dry and focused from start to finish. If you're rounding out your kit, pair your legionnaire with one of our trail-ready bucket hats for everyday versatility.

When should I choose a legionnaire hat instead of a regular cap?
Legionnaire hats are ideal when you’re running or hiking in strong sun or exposed conditions and need extra coverage for your ears and neck. They’re popular for long trail days, desert, alpine or any other environments, and any time you’re out for hours without shade.
How much sun protection do your legionnaire hats provide?
Our legionnaire hats are designed with UPF-rated panels, typically offering higher protection on the brim, front and sides, with additional coverage across the top and neck. Check the product details for the exact UPF rating on each style, and remember that sunscreen on exposed skin is still recommended.
Will the neck flap feel hot or get in the way while I run?
The flap is made from lightweight, breathable fabric that moves with you instead of sticking to your skin. Many styles also feature button or clip points so you can secure the flap when it’s windy or when you don’t need the full coverage.
