Worldwide - 10th December

We will be dispatching orders everyday until 3PM on the 23rd December, when we will close for Christmas.

Do you offer extended returns dates for Christmas?

As standard we offer a 30 day return policy for all physical items.

Any items purchased between 14th November 2026 and 31st December 2026 will have an extended returns period until 31st January 2027.

Will I have to pay any tariffs, import duty or extra tax?

All orders in the UK, USA, Canada, Norway, Switzerland and the European Union will not be subject to any further taxes, duties or tariffs before delivery.

For USA orders, our prices include tariffs and duties.  These will be paid by us prior to shipment.  So there is nothing extra for USA customers to pay and your parcel will be delivered quickly and stress free.

For UK, USA, Canada, Norway, Switzerland and the European Union the price you see on the screen at checkout will be the final price you will pay. In the unlikely event of you being charged, please get in touch and we will resolve the issue with the carrier. 

Currently orders are tax free to Australia up to £585 and New Zealand up to £505. So any orders under these amounts will not attract any further charges.

For the rest of the world, any customs or import duties are charged once the parcel reaches the destination country. 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.

Do you part ship orders that contain pre-order items?

For UK orders we'll part ship your order, as items arrive in stock. So if you pre-order an item with an in-stock item then they will ship separately.

For international orders, we'll ship your complete order when everything is in stock.

When will my order be dispatched?

We aim to dispatch all orders within 24 hours Monday to Friday. If an order is placed on Saturday or Sunday, it will be dispatched the following Monday.

I have a big head. Will your hats fit me?

All caps have the same circumference (58cm) and are all adjustable to fit most head sizes.

The depth of the hat varies for each different style so if you feel you have a particularly large head then stick with the Getting It Done, OG, PB or Bucket Hats. 

We have a section with hats for people with larger heads here.

I have a small head. Will your hats fit me?

All caps have the same circumference (58cm) and are all adjustable to fit most head sizes.

The depth of the hat varies for each different style so if you feel you have a small head, then we'd recommend the Ben Parkes, or legend hat!

We have a section with hats for people with smaller heads here.

What is your return policy?

You are welcome to send back any item unworn, within 30 days of receiving it for a full refund or exchange.

The perfect running cap

Ran a half marathon in this cap and it was ideal – lightweight, kept me cool and free of sweat. Really pleased with it.

Hi Gareth, we're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your new cap during your half marathon! Thanks for sharing your experience and happy running! Congratulations on your race and keep on getting it done! 👍

Comfortable and cool

Already own the white Bens Parkes cap and was so impressed with it that I just had to buy the 🧢 blue marathon version

I’ve always struggled to find caps that fit – I usually have to buy kids’ sizes because I have a small head. These are fully adjustable and fit absolutely perfectly, no sliding or slipping at all.

I tested the new cap on my half marathon long run this Sunday and it performed brilliantly. It kept me feeling cool the whole way, and I never once worried about it falling off mid-run.
It provided brilliant sun protection and shade, but really breathable so you don’t end up overheating either. 10/10 – highly recommend

What awesome pics! Congratulations on your half marathon, we're so happy you had a great run in your new hat! Well done 🙌

Comfortable and functional with a nice touch of colour

If I have to wear a cap (‘cos I don’t often) this will be my go to. Arrived just as the rains started again and provided lightweight and comfortable protection. Strap is a bit fiddly to adjust but once done holds the cap lightly in place. A good purchase.

Hi Alistair, thanks so much for the lovely review! Great to hear the cap kept you comfortable and protected from the rain, and that you’re happy with the colour. We appreciate the feedback about the strap and hope it’s your go-to for many runs to come! Keep on getting it done 👍

Very comfortable caps!

Great cap for running and other outdoor use! It is very thin and lightweight, and fit is great. If I want to take it off, it can fold and fit into my running shorts pocket. Also very nice colour, seems very durable and dries fast if wet. I have used it both in rain and sunshine!

Hi Gudmund, thanks so much for the lovely review! We’re delighted the cap is comfortable, lightweight, and easy to pack away. Wishing you many more happy runs in it. Keep on getting it done 👍

Probably too small for you

If you are an average guy with average head this might feel too small for you…

Otherwise ok, but the cap’s shape wasn’t the best fit for me

Another great running cap!

This is my third dedicated running cap from Ben and the team. I can't rate them highly enough. The quality is great, and the way they keep your head cool is amazing. I also love this colourway, as it matches our club running colours, so that is a great bonus. Don't believe me, try one. You won't buy another brand of running hat again :)

Hi Antony, thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you love your new hat and that it matches your club colours perfectly. Wishing you many happy runs in it. Keep on getting it done 👍

Ace running cap

Just ordered my second Ben Parks hat - I loved the first one so much I wanted another. Fab hats that are fully adjustable for my pea head, and really great quality.

Hi Kara, we're so happy to hear you love the hats! Thanks for your continued support and happy running with your new cap! Keep on getting it done 👍

The hats are really shallow compared to my other running hats, feel like they are about go fall off, not very secure even when the straps are tight

Hello Yu, we're sorry to hear your new hat doesn't fit right. If you'd had messaged us then of course we'd have changed it over to another hat for you! 🙂 We are always here to help get the right hat for you, so drop us a message anytime and we'll get you the right hat for your head. Wishing you all the very best.

Ticks all the boxes

Great first running hat. A much better option than my usual baseball cap. It's comfortable, lightweight, keeps my head cooler on these hotter days, plus it looks fantastic. The whole cap folds down to nothing for easy storage when needed, even rhe peak, yet it doesn't lose its shape when worn. It does sit a little shallow on my head so would be great to see a deeper option in the future but I all, this was a great purchase.

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear the Marathon Running Cap ticks all your boxes and that you're enjoying its comfort and practicality. Your feedback about a deeper option is appreciated, and we'll keep that in mind for future designs. Keep on getting it done

Just fits by big head

I like the design, material, logo and colour however I would say the fit could be improved for my big heed if it was just slightly bigger. One aspect for improvement would be if the strap at the rear was velcro to prevent it from flapping about.

Hi Ted, thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're glad you like the design and materials. This cap is part of our collection for smaller and medium sized heads, we will try and make that a little clearer going forward. We appreciate your support and hope the cap continues to serve you well! Keep on getting it done

Hat

Nice hat but I prefer Velcro straps

Hi Roland, thanks for your feedback! We'll pass along your preference for Velcro straps to our team. Glad you liked the hat overall! Keep on getting it done! 🙌

MY wife loves this, hasn’t stopped wearing it!

Brought for my wife whilst we wait for the vest to come back in stock, it’s great for the heatwave we’ve just had and will be worn for our first 10k race on Sunday.
