Our take · Researched, not tested

All-black performance cap with a floating visor. Lake day approved.

By Jessica Reyes, women's hats desk Pen name, fact-checked by our team

Sporty caps can be cute, promise. The Blackwater is all black with a neoprene crown that sheds water, laser-cut mesh panels for airflow, and a sweatband that's moisture-wicking and antimicrobial. The 2 3/4 in visor is camo on the underside, and it floats. Five unstructured panels give it a low profile, with a snapback in back. There's a little scripture inside too, James 5:16. Formula: this cap, a black swimsuit, cutoffs and slides. One size.

Jessica's tip: Pull a ponytail through the snapback gap. It keeps the cap seated and your hair out of the way.

Questions

What size is the Blackwater?

The store lists it as one size, which it describes as one size fits most. If you measure at either end of the size chart, a fitted hat in your size may sit better. A foam insert can take up a little room.

Is the Blackwater enough for sun?

Not on its own. A cap or peak shades your eyes but leaves your ears and neck exposed, as MD Anderson points out. Add sunscreen, or pick a brimmed hat for long days outside.

Can you wash the Blackwater?

Check the care label on the store page first. Most fabric hats take a gentle hand wash in cool water and air drying on a bowl or balled towel so the crown keeps its shape. Skip the dryer.

What if it doesn't fit?

American Hat Makers states 90-day easy returns (per American Hat Makers, as stated on their site Nov 6, 2026). Check the store's current policy before you buy; its page is the final word.
