Running Bucket Hats

Our bucket hats are performance gear first: they're lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking and made for movement, not just for lifestyle. The 360 degree brim gives all-round shade, making them especially popular for slower long runs, hikes, and all-day adventures in the sun.

The soft brim is designed to flex rather than catch wind, and an adjustable fastening at the back helps keep things secure. In very windy conditions, we generally suggest a standard cap or legionnaire hat, but many runners happily use our buckets for breezy trail and road days. Check out our size guide to make sure the hat you buy stays on in windy conditions.

Our B‑Series bucket hats provide UPF-rated coverage across the brim and body, with darker under-brims to reduce glare and an internal SWIFTdry™ sweatband to manage sweat. This combination makes them great for hot, bright conditions where you still want breathability.

Yes - our buckets use soft, pliable brims and durable recycled fabrics so you can fold or roll them into a pack and they’ll bounce back to shape. Just avoid long-term storage while crushed, and let them air-dry if they get wet.

Our brims are cut for running, not lounging, so they're short enough to keep your sightlines clear and soft enough to flex in wind instead of catching it like a wider brim would. For extra security in gusty conditions, our B-SAPWOOD style has a detachable chin strap. Our other bucket hats rely on the secure fit itself.
