The lowdown on The JackRabbit Original Cap

The Original JackRabbit Cap

JackRabbit Caps produce high-performance running caps known for superb function and style. JackRabbit offers four varieties to choose from, the Original Rabbit, the Woolen Rabbit (perfect for cooler weather), the Finisher Cap (to showcase running achievements, runners can add their personal event, date and PR), and the Limited Rabbit (limited edition styles featuring seasonal patterns and colors). They are each made in the USA and come in two size options. This running accessory makes the perfect gift item for any sporty girl.

I had the opportunity to try the Original Rabbit and found first-hand that although they are known for making basic, no-frills caps, the internal features are anything but. The cap's quick drying, moisture-wicking fabric left me feeling comfortable throughout my runs, and being so lightweight (only 1.5 ounces!) I wasn’t distracted once. The fit felt secure, the brim didn’t irritate my forehead and the breathable material made it feel like I wasn’t wearing a cap at all. I'm a clean freak, so its machine-washable fabric is perfect, because well, who wouldn’t want to be able to wash something they run in every day?

Another cool feature is the ponytail slot. I have pretty thick hair, so shoving ponytails through most hats can be a struggle. Fortunately the JackRabbit’s loop is made with elastic, just like a hair tie. So not only did my hair fit through, but the soft elastic never tugged on my ponytail and kept it in place throughout the run.

JackRabbit is the ideal cap for basic function and sporty style. The rabbit logo on the side provides a unique detail to keep it from looking too plain. But the most unique feature the JackRabbit offers is the option to add a personal message on the side. Commemorate a great race or embroider your favorite motivational quote to make each cap your own.

The JackRabbit Cap did not disappoint and has become a must-have for each run I go on. It keeps the sun out and is so comfortable - a running cap can’t get much better than that.
