I bought this Water Repellent Cap mainly for commuting in the rain, and it does the job nicely. The fabric sheds light rain well, so my hair and face stay dry on short walks. The hidden adjustable strap is a clever touch, letting me get a snug fit without any visible buckle. It is lightweight and packs flat in a bag. It is not a full rain hat, so heavy downpours still get through a bit, but for everyday drizzle it is a solid pick.
