You may be charged for handling fees and taxes as your order passes through customs. Any charges on a parcel must be paid by the customer. We have no control over these charges and we can't tell you what the cost would be, as customs policies and import duties vary widely from country to country. We recommend contacting your local customs office before placing an order so you are not surprised by any charges you were not expecting.

Customer Reviews
Very light, forget you are wearing it. 1st cap I have liked.
Ben often says in the YouTube videos that these are the best running hats. He's right. They are. Featherweight, with a highly breathable open mesh, a long bill to throw ample shade, and very soft and pliable, going through the heavy washing machine cycle no problem. I have a slightly smaller head, so most running hats make me look ridiculous. This fit perfectly. I've tested it on several long easy and harder effort runs here in Sydney's steamy summer heat (30c+) and it out-performs all my other major brand hats. Great stuff!
Love the simple white running hat. It’s super light and great to hide your hair when you’re long overdue a haircut but don’t really want to get it cut. Fastest hat I’ve ever worn as I got a half marathon PB in its first race.
Loved my new Cap, lovely personal touch also sent from Ben’s Mum, with my name on it.
Bought for my first Chicago Marathon, and sunny training sessions on the Essex Riviera.
Really decent product and design, never ran with a cap on before, felt a bit of a Wally at first, but can’t stop wearing it now, will get another one.
Hat came well packaged and loved the note from Ben's mum.
Great for these hots days with excellent ventilation.
The only question is do you wear it the Ben or Sarah way?
Thank you for this excellent running hat. Light weight, keeps the sun of the eyes and so breathable with the light weight hole construction. Wore on the Trails in Cyprus today did the job. Would recommend this Hat to everyone. Really pleased with this thanks Ben 👍🏻
Don't normally wear a hat, but got a birthday present of the 2022 Elite hat to run Rome Marathon at the weekend (19/03/23). Wasn't as sunny as expected, but humid and hat still did a good job. Dousing my head / hat with water kept my temp down.
Was aiming for a 3.30 and got 3.28 (17min PB) so happy all round.
Very light hat almost forgot I was wearing it, fits really well.
The material and design is great for a humid country like Singapore. Running around in the sun or in the rain, this cap can do it all while feeling comfortable. Love it! And digging the all white design of this.
Cap is cool, a little large but that's fine. I have a small head. I like the bill size better than the trail cap I received. It was really small. Great products though. It looks better on Sarah
Perfect running hat! Great looks and high quality! Most importantly it is very light and is cool on a hot day! Here is a picture of me in the hat ringing the PR Bell after getting it done at the Liberty Mile in Pittsburgh PA USA after competing on a 88F (31C) degree humid day and setting a PR! My first race in the hat! Keep getting it done!
