RoadID Race Hat Product Review and Giveaway!

RoadID Race Hat (It's Who I Am)

Many people don't realize that RoadID, besides carrying their life-saving ID tags and bracelets, also carry apparel. Yes, that's right, apparel for the endurance crowd (that's you and me!). It looks really cool and, based on their safety products, probably well-made. Still, I decided to dip my toes in rather than jumping in and buying, say, their cycling bib. I opted for their race hat, made by Headsweats, seen above.

Here's what they say on the website:

"This ridiculously awesome technical hat was custom made for us by our good friends at Headsweats®. The design is based on their most popular "Race Hat" and is constructed from CoolMax® for excellent moisture management and air flow. This puppy is built for serious competition, but is sharp enough for everyday wear. Our Race Hat is also a great safety device as it helps keep wind, rain, sun and tree branches out of your eyes. Train during the dark hours? We've got you covered. The sliver stripe around the bottom of the hat is highly-reflective and will help motorists see you in the dark."

Dare I agree that this hat is awesome? I do. This hat is incredibly comfortable, incredibly light, and makes me run and cycle well beyond my normal capabilities, though it did interfere with my swimstroke (you've been warned). I would consider it the equal of my GoLite cap, which as everyone knows, is next to godliness. Since most of my runs are in the dark, the reflective piping on the hat gives me some (maybe only mental) additional safety.

How much do I think you'll like this hat? Enough to have purchased a second, USING MY OWN MONEY, to give away on this blog. That's right, my own money (will wonders never cease?). But that's not all, because while you will be the proud owner and wearer of a brand-new with tags RoadID Race Hat, you'll also receive a $15.00 gift certificate good at RoadId.com!

But wait, there's more. That's right, along with the hat and the gift certificate, you also -- nope, sorry, that is all. My bad.
