The North Face Summer LIGHTRANGE™ Run Hat - Canal Blue

$79.99

The North Face Summer LIGHTRANGE Run Hat is a lightweight running cap built for the days when the sun is doing most of the work against you. It pairs a UPF-rated LIGHTRANGE finish with FlashDry fabric, so you get genuine sun protection without the sweaty, overheated feel of a heavier cap. Mesh side panels and a moisture-wicking sweatband keep things breathable, whether you're out on an exposed ridge run or grinding through a summer road session.

  • LIGHTRANGE finish shields you from harsh sun without adding weight or bulk
  • FlashDry sweatband pulls moisture away so sweat doesn't end up in your eyes
  • Mesh side panels let heat escape on hot, high-output efforts
  • Adjustable reflective back strap means a snug fit and a bit of extra visibility if your run tips into low light
  • Flippable brim packs down small enough to stash in a vest pocket when you don't need it
  • Non-PFC water-repellent finish means it shrugs off a bit of drizzle or sweat without soaking through
  • Body: 76% recycled polyester, 24% polyester with LIGHTRANGE technology, FlashDry and non-PFC DWR finish
  • Side panels: 100% recycled polyester mesh
  • Sweatband: 37% recycled polyester blend with FlashDry-Pro
  • Classic fit, flippable brim
  • Adjustable reflective webbing back strap with hook-and-loop closure
  • Reflective heat-transfer logo on centre front, FlashDry logo on side
  • One size
  • Colour: Canal Blue
  • Hot, exposed trail or road runs where sun protection matters as much as breathability
  • Runners who want a cap light enough to forget they're wearing it
  • Anyone wanting a pack-down option that stashes easily in a vest pocket for later
  • Less suited to: for cold starts and winter training where warmth matters more than sun protection, the Black Diamond Coefficient Beanie is built for that end of the range instead

We stock the Summer LIGHTRANGE Run Hat because it does the two things a summer running cap actually needs to do: block the sun and stay out of the way. The LIGHTRANGE finish is a genuine fabric-level UPF treatment rather than just a bit of extra fabric weight, and the mesh side panels mean it doesn't turn into a sweatbox the way a lot of basic caps do once the effort ramps up. It's part of The North Face's wider Summit Series running range, so the fit and materials are built around actually running hard in the heat, not just standing around in the sun.
