Top Rated: Sunday Afternoons Eclipse Cap (8.0 / 10)
Category: Hot Weather Cap
One thing worth mentioning about the Eclipse Cap that we really appreciate is the lack of overt branding. There's no garish logo plastered on the front or side of the cap and that's really good to see.
The Eclipse Cap is a high quality, UPF 50+ certified, packable split cap with optional venting side panels. A little heavier than we'd like, but much of the heft is in the brim and the other weight gains are from the integrated mesh and the excellent all-round finishing.
Our view is that rather than an out-and-out hot weather specialist, the Eclipse overlaps with ME's Squall. If your bias is toward the heat, then go with the Eclipse, if it's toward the sub zero then the Squall is probably the better option. In that regard, the Eclipse, like the Squall are near one-stop solutions. The Sunday Afternoons' Eclipse Cap is Scramble's top pick in the Hot Weather Cap category.
