I wanted a new hat for working out and got the Shift Hat after spending a few days seeing what hat I could get to wear while exercising. Ended up using the Shift Hat during my workouts, both cardio and strength training, and I was very impressed. The moisture wicking band held up well when I was pushing myself and working up a sweat, and the hat was very breathable. It's so comfortable, as well. Highly recommend this hat for whatever activity you think you'd want it for.
