I read the two posts below re: hats/visors. First - thank you.
Second - I saw many had white for the summer, but then a couple mentioned black to stop the glare.
And then others had colors. ;-)
Is there a general rule to follow if I were to buy one? Basically wear white if you sweat a lot and run in the summer and worry less about the glare bouncing up?
Color doesn't really matter to me. I stay away from black mostly because I feel like it would be hotter. Other than that, doesn't matter. I just toss them in the washing machine with my other clothes so they don't get too funky/gross.
If glare is a worry, I would rather run in a light color + sunglasses than black in the summer.
However, I would trash a white hat SO FREAKING FAST so I wear a turquoise one.
They aren't expensive, you could always have more than one, too!
I hear you on keeping it clean, but hopefully throwing it in the wash will help some if I go that direction. And I like what you're thinking about having more than one - can get a fun color, too.
