Outstanding Running Hat

The hat handled the Arkansas heat & humidity very well. It is my go to gear when the temps rise.

Loving my new running hat

I recently received my cruiser pro splash hat, and just love it. It is extremely well made and has a perfect fit. I am surprised at how securely the hat stays on my head. Not going to blow off in the wind. This hat is well worth the price

The hat works, but has a funny fit

I have had many Alter Ego hats and this may fit the best, but there is something when I wear it that does not quite look quite right. I enjoyed wearing it when I ran though.

The fit is weird. Completely different then the normal cruiser. If your head size is right on the line between standard and XL get the standard. Its HUGE for XL

Poor Delivery

Love the products but you need to step the shipping piece. Ordered this cap on 6/12. Order is being shipped USPS. Tried order tracking without success. It’s been 10 days. Tracking indicates it arrived to local distribution on 12/15. Frustrating! Can’t source the current location or delivery date.

Not happy!!

What happened to the sizing?

Been using Alter Ego hats for several years (cruiser, traveler, coaster), but have noticed that sizing has become very inconsistent, particularly with the Cruiser. Unfortunately, this Cruiser Pro is no different. Love the design of this but the "standard" size is now way too big on my head and looks like a football helmet. It also has a much thicker and heavier feel than the original cruiser, which I can only assume would translate to a much hotter head when running.

Culture

Not just a hat . The summer Skull is culture. The fit , comfort is awesomeness. Have you ever pulled up to run and have people comment on how cool your hat looks. Let me tell you; yes its cool. The culture part is the significance of that skull for me. Feeling connected to my people is more than a hat . Dia de los Muertos isn't just one day. Its a way of life .honoring those loved ones that have left us with movement . Running , hiking, walking ..... movement, moving forward . Feeling good is about life . This hat does that for me. All the comfort, design , getting out there looking good Feeling good .... knowing I am good ..... meeting that next chalange me against me. Looking in the mirror.... im ready for my run with my Altra Ego on.

Love their hats but this one is super weird look on the sides. Maybe its just me.

It’s a sharp looking hat, and dig the halloween theme, but for whatever this cruiser doesnt sit well as other brands. The side white paneling is too thick and any adjusting makes it too tight for a run. Ears are pushed out…basically Dustin from Stranger Things.

Alter Ego Cruiser Pro Splash RWB

Love the fit and style. Colors are great and I have worn it out running and inside on the treadmill. Keeps the sweat out of my eyes, and fits great on the run. Keeps the sun out of my eyes. Easy to clean and drys quickly.

Whoever developed this Pro features. I would like to thank you. Moisture wicking to the next level and adjustable strap. I would have all AER hats with that strap changed.

Cruiser Pro Splash Neon Metal

My first true running cap from Alter Ego. Initially, I was a bit hesitant because it felt heavier than other running caps I’ve worn. However, I recently completed a half marathon wearing it, and I was thoroughly impressed with its performance during the race. There were minimal issues with sweating from my head, which I believe was due to the Brim and ProWeave Liner. The color combination is great, and I plan to order other colors in the future.

happy color hat

Not mad, just disappointed

I received this hat as a birthday present from family, had been eyeing one for a long time and when this pattern and color was released, I immediately put it on the short list. Extremely excited to get this hat on and out the door for a run, I was unfortunately met with a poor fit and lack of attention to details. The bill is off center by 1/2” which makes this a super awkward fit and stretches the fabric in a weird way. The main alter ego patch on the front is also off center and not level, which just adds to the awkwardness.

Rated two stars only because I like the pattern and I really want to love this hat, especially for the cost, but it’s headed to the donation bin

Well made with a splash of color

I am impressed with the quality of the hat. It seems durable. I love the splash of colors it has and it has made its way into my rotation pretty easily.

Love the look, but...

First of all, I am a fan of Alter Ego hats, I often wear the Drifter and Coaster styles on an everyday basis. I also like to wear the Cruiser for running, as it is very comfortable, lightweight, and well-ventilated, but I'm not a huge fan of the non-shapable brim - so when AE came out with the Cruiser Pro, I thought, "Perfect!!"

But unfortunately, it wasn't perfect. The polyester fabric has a thicker, heavier feel to it, so it feels like it holds in heat (I run in a high heat and humid environment) and the vent perforations are smaller, so it doesn't feel like it ventilates nearly as well as the OG cruiser. The front and the "hatband" are of the crown is very thick, and feels like it would increase my "sweat factor" considerably.
Needless to say, I returned the Cruiser Pro - I'll stick to the other styles I currently wear.

Cruiser Pro.... one of the best upgrades yet

While I am a big fan of the Trotter and Old Cruiser hat shapes, I was intrigued with the new Cruiser Pro. Overall this is a great hat...just hope for a few things in the future...

Things that I like:
1) new brim
2) New closure system is a big plus
3) The Proweave Ultra liner is the biggest plus over the crusier...I hope it makes it to all the other hats

Things I would like to see:
1) More solid color hats
2) Better Pickleball options for hats (Trotter and Cool branded Cruiser Pro.. Bread and Butter Collab)
3) Slightly shorter brim on the Pro. Maybe 1/4" to 1/2"

All in all this is a great upgrade from the OG Cruiser which I still wear all the time (thanks to the solid colors).

Rewind to recharge

Neon colors and retro design gives you a cool 80’s, early 90’s vibe. I love this model. The new Velcro technology it’s a must features that all AE should have
