Product Insights
This cap restores the deep fit preferred by larger-headed buyers, with a commitment to durability seen in a cap used across multiple thru-hikes over a decade without structural failure. Its 100% nylon construction with TurboDry technology permanently wicks sweat and dries faster than cotton, while the nylon crochet strap and buckle provide a more secure hold than bungee cords, staying tight during runs and wind. The rigid visor retains shape even after packing, but cannot be folded flat like collapsible brims, and hand washing is recommended to prevent brim warping and logo fading. Such is the devotion to this design that buyers of the discontinued L/XL version have called it the best hat ever, stockpiling old units.

User recommends Horizon cap for deep fit
Hey! I have good news. North Face brought back the old fit of their Horizon ball caps. I think I’ve bought six of them since discovering this after creating this post. I was on their website and happened to look at reviews/comments and people were saying “thanks for listening to us, my favorite hat is back, etc”. Highly recommended, just make sure you get the new version.

User laments discontinuation of L/XL Horizon hats
Same here. I had/have over a dozen L/XL Horizon hats. Would have bought 50 more but unfortunately wasn’t paying attention a couple years ago when they discontinued it. Ended ~2020 I believe. Was able to find two new (old) stock awhile back but I don’t want to wear them because I know they cannot be replaced :( L/XL Horizon was best hat I ever had. The only hat that fit my big head properly. Really hope they bring it back. There’s so many reviews of people asking for it.
