In search of the perfect hat

[7rider]

I'm looking for a good running hat. I think my problem is my head is small, no hat seems to stay on if it is at all windy. Ideally, it would also have some venting at the crown since my races tend to have hot runs.

Any suggestions?

I have an REI one that I hate. Would not recommend it unless you have a flat head. It rides up high and wings off at the - well - the drop of a hat.

I also have a HeadSweats hat. I like that one much better. Sits more securely on my head. It's vented on the sides and has survived many trips through the washing machine.

I just got a SweatVac hat in my goodie bag at yesterday's race. It fits okay, but I don't hold much hope for it, as it's not vented/mesh. I'll wear it to Wednesday's workout and see how it goes.

If you find the "perfect" running hat - let me know. I'm still looking!
