I ran 140 miles last month. Guess how many of those miles included a hat on my head… Yep, 140 of them.
When I first became a runner, I had short hair. Too short to be put back in any way, but long enough to end up in my eyes. For a while, I ran with the front pulled up on top of my head with a scrunchy. Thankfully, there are no pictures in existence of that goofy look. Then I bought my first running hat and there was no turning back.
Since that first hat, I’ve amassed a pretty large collection. But here’s my problem. I have a smallish head, so often the hat is still a bit big, even if I have it adjusted to the smallest possible option. Usually I can find a way to make a hat work, but not always. And I often look goofy in hats because they are wider than my face.
Last year as a Zooma ambassador, I was given a Headsweats hat. I LOVED it!
It fit me perfectly and could have actually been made a bit smaller. It was also extremely comfortable and lightweight. The mesh top kept my head cool and the interior sweatband helped keep the sweat out of my eyes. I liked it so much that I actually bought my mom a visor for her birthday.
I had planned to buy myself a new Headsweats hat this spring, but conveniently, the company reached out to me and offered me a hat and one to give away. Needless to say, I said yes! Of course, I chose a pink hat with 26.2. Yeah, I’m that girly.
So far, I’ve worn it on a bunch of runs, washed it a few times (I always hang it to dry) and worn it to the pool. It still looks like new and I still love it.
In fact, I’m trying to figure out which hat I need to add to my collection next (no, my hat collection is not as big as my skirt collection…) I’m thinking the evil pumpkin one looks fun.
Want to try out a Headsweats hat? Enter my giveaway below and choose between either a race hat (similar to what I got), a Supervisor, or a trucker hat.
I’m linking up with Running with SD Mom‘s blog giveaway link up.
Disclaimer: I received the 26.2 hat as compensation for this post and the company is providing the giveaway hat. All opinions are my own.
I wear something on my head about 75% of the time…mostly to cover my morning bedhead! Haha! I love my hat collection and sometimes go with a bandana. Great review!
I wear a visor when I run and would love to have another one ( ya know to match more outfits..lol).
I love head sweats hats! Received one as a prize at a race and it quickly became a fave! I don’t wear hats when running as they make my head feel hot (even in the rain!) but I love to slap one on right after!
I don’t wear a hat when I run, but I know I should. Especially since I don’t sunscreen…yep, I’m a bad runner..
I usually wear a bondi band and if it’s sunny I will use a hat. I also sometimes steal my husband’s headsweats hat that he got as race swag from a 10 miler he did in Ohio. No shame!
I only wear a headband while I run, usually, but my long runs for marathon training have got me out in the sun a lot longer, so I have been wanting to try wearing a hat while running, but I’m afraid of getting even more hot! This hat or visor sounds like the perfect solution! Thanks for sharing the giveaway!
I wear hats! I love them and actually have a headsweats hat as a run team member for Simple Hydration water bottles. Headsweats is awesome!
I’ve been looking for a hat to wear when I run.
I always wear my Headsweats visor!
I usually wear headbands on a run. I don’t have any hats!
I usually wear a headband when I run.. when I wear a hat I find it just gets in the way of my vision/gets too sweaty/gross for my liking!
I also always wear hats when I run. Even if it’s morning and the sun isn’t out yet, lol. My hair is also not long enough for a good ponytail and I hate hair, sweat or sun in my eyes.
I have fallen in love with visors!!!! It too awhile, but I get it !!!! 🙂
If I wear anything it’s a visor. Hats make me feel too hot!
I love both running hats and visors! If I had to pick, I’d probably go with a Headsweats Visor, since I have one absolute favorite visor and one sorta meh visor–I need another option, before my favorite becomes unwearable!
I LOVE Headsweats! I’ve taken to stealing the hubs’ so I think he’d appreciate it if I had one of my own. 🙂
I have the headsweat MRTT supervisor and LOVE that thing! It’s easily one of my favorite running necessities! I’d love the chance to win another supervisor!!
This hat would be perfect! Marathon training requires a hat!
I nearly always wear a hat, too. I have one Headsweats hat and it is wonderful. I love the weight of the fabric.
I always wear a headband when I run, but when its raining I wear a visor or hat to keep the rain out of my eyes.
I don’t have any kind of hat to wear when I run so I need one.
I usually just wear a hat and large pair of sunglasses.
Hey visor-wearing peeps! If you have any scalp showing (like if you wear your hair parted) PLEASE put sunblock on that scalp! You don’t need to have a sunburn to get skin cancer, and skin cancers on the scalp are often difficult to detect and unlikely to be found early, ESPECIALLY in women. I love all my runner peeps, and want you to stay safe.
I’m a hat-person myself (I overheat easily, and the sun on my hair heats me up quickly), and I have the opposite problem you do–hats for women are often too small for my head. Or they are too tight, and they slide up off of my slipper hair.
That pink hat looks really good on you. Definitely a score!
i love their products! i def need a new visor!!
I’m a hat fan! I typically wear headsweats too!
I just recently started wearing a visor and love it!
An Adidas Visor or hat
I gave up hats long ago and only go for a visor. I have a small size head, so I need a good fastener to keep it tight.
Love to wear my hat
I wear a Brooks hat that I found at TJ Maxx haha. It doesn’t keep all the sweat out of my eyes, so I’d love to try Headsweats!
Love my Headsweats visors & caps! I also wear Sparkly Soul headbands.
I had a visor and then I lost it so now I just sweat into my eyes and it is a bummer. I think a hat or visor might be a good thing for me.
I don’t wear hats but with this heat I need to start!
I can not live without my Headsweats hat/visor!! In fact, my cousin just married the son of the owner of Headsweats!
I’m obsessed with hats like you! I honestly can’t run without one!
Very cool! I’m running my very first marathon in January so I would wear this proudly! I love headsweats visors but I’ve never had a hat! 🙂
I usually wear a visor but sometimes I’ll just wear my Sparkly Soul headband. Visors are the best.
Unless it’s raining or cold, I’m usually not much of a hat person. However, now that I’m running in FL, I’m realizing how necessary a visor is to soak up the sweat.
