I have had hats that I absolutely loved and this isn't one of them. I really just wanted this hat because I think Arcteryx has a really cool logo, whatever, don't judge me. I just feel like it doesn't fit quite right and I also don't think it is the best construction. This sucks because it was pretty expensive for a hat.
This hat is awesome. I'm ordering my 3rd as we speak. It's not boxy, it's low pro and fits my average sized head like a glove. A head glove that is. My only real beef with the hat is the price, but to be honest, I'd have to say that it's worth it.
This burly flex fit hat from Arc'teryx looks great, fits well, and gives you Karma to Burn. The embroidery is top notch and the hat breaks in very well. I suggest using it for a full summer of outdoor activities and it will break in perfectly. Excellent piece.
"Nice hat but too small for regular heads"

THis is a nice hat with a good embroidery, but it's a ONE SIZE FITS MOST hat which runs too small. I have several Flex-Fit hats and they usually come in S/M or L/XL and the later size always fits me perfect. For the price Arc is charging for these hats they should have spent a few more cents and given the customer a choice rather than the OSFA size they offer which is really just a MEDIUM size flex hat.
but I like the not-so-boxy top, you know, form fitting hat. Not that I expected this one to be as it's clearly not from the pic, just didn't expect to look a little funny with it on. My self preserving ego says it's the hat... so I returned the hat.
