Love the shirt! Super breathable. Super lightweight. Highly recommend!
Looks good, performs great, and it’s Folklord! Makes me feel happy on the trails. I swear I get more happy “hello”s and waves when I’m wearing this shirt :)
Super lightweight and breathable. Wicks sweat away from face beautifully and dries fast. Also looks incredibly cool! I love the natural wonders design and there is also a super cool green leaf print under the bill. This is a hat that I definitely leave on when grabbing a bite or running errands after/during a run and often wear when I’m not running. It’s just cool! .. In both senses of the word. Love the folklore brand and this hat!
This hat is lightweight and super cute for road and trail runs. I also enjoy wearing it when I'm running errands or out to dinner with my family. Every hat I've bought has been great quality and I always get asked where I get my hats. Two thumbs up for this girl!
