$79.99

Colour Options:

The Black Diamond Distance LT Hat is about as close as a running cap gets to disappearing on your head. At just 51 grams, this lightweight running hat is built for high output days when every extra gram feels like a decision you'll regret by kilometre ten. Mesh side panels keep the airflow moving on climbs and hot road sessions alike, while the short brim gives you shade without eating into your field of vision. It's the kind of cap you forget you're wearing, which is exactly the point.

  • So light it barely registers, even over a long training block
  • Mesh panelling keeps your head cool when the effort (or the sun) cranks up
  • Short peak shields your eyes without blocking your sightline on technical ground
  • Folds down small enough to stash in a pocket or vest when you don't need it
  • Adjustable strap means it sits secure without feeling clamped on
  • Weight: 51g
  • Construction: 5-panel
  • Front and visor: 100% polyester, lightweight woven
  • Sides and top: 100% polyester, lightweight breathable mesh
  • Closure: adjustable elastic buckle strap
  • Size: one size fits most (unisex)
  • Colourway: Creek Blue/White
  • Hot weather road and trail sessions where breathability matters more than coverage
  • Runners who want a cap light enough to forget about mid-run
  • Fastpacking or racing setups where pack weight and stash size count
  • Less suited to cold or wet winter running, where a Black Diamond Coefficient Beanie will do a better job keeping the heat in

There's no shortage of running caps out there, but a lot of them either skimp on ventilation or add weight you don't need chasing durability. The Distance LT gets the balance right. The mesh panelling is generous enough to actually move air rather than just look breathable, and the woven front panel still holds its shape instead of going floppy after a few sweaty outings. It's become a go-to for anyone doing back-to-back training days in the heat, where a heavier cap starts to feel like a liability by the second lap.
