Hiking – the right headgear makes the difference

Why should you wear a hiking hat?

"Hiking is not escapism; it’s realism. The people who choose to spend time outdoors are not running away from anything; we are returning to where we belong" - Quote from Jennifer Pharr Davis

Anyone who has ever been able to experience fresh mountain air and beautiful landscapes while hiking can certainly understand this quote. In order to be able to enjoy this trail to the fullest, it pays to have the right hiking equipment – hat is an essential part of this. Hiking hats are typically worn with this, but some functional caps and hats are also used here. In our shop we have, among other hats, special outdoor hats, which have extra UV protection, water-repellent material and optionally neck protection. All styles are suitable for both men and women.

What makes a good hiking hat?

Sun protection (preferably with integrated UV protection)
Rain protection (dirt and water repellent)
Climate-regulating material such as wool felt or cotton
Packable in your luggage (rollable/foldable)
Stylish look, whether classic or modern

Overview: the different hat models for hiking

Classic felt hat

Hiking hats made of wool or hair felt usually meet all the above-mentioned properties and are long-lasting companions due to their robustness. A popular hat style is the traveller hat with a wide brim and high crown. Classically, hiking hats are worn in dark green, black, gray or brown and are decorated with feathers on the crown. For a true hiker, a quality felt hat is a must-have.

Tyrolean three-cornered hat

Those who like it traditional wear a tyrolean hat when hiking. Since it is mostly made of felt, it is also comfortable to wear. The narrow brim makes it easier to carry and less susceptible to wind. Adornments with cords, feathers or a traditional chamois beard add the icing on the cake to the hiking outfit.

Light straw hat

Of course, an airy, light straw hat is also suitable for hiking on particularly hot summer days. Hats made of Panama straw are way ahead in terms of style and quality, but unfortunately also when it comes to price. In general, it should be ensured that straw hats are sun hats that should not be exposed to heavy rain.

Warm beanie

After the version for summer, here comes the model for hiking in winter. A beanie not only protects your head, but also your ears from the freezing cold. Unfortunately, most beanies don't have a visor, so sun and light protection isn’t really there. Merino wool is recommended for particularly good wearing properties. In our shop we even have a beanie hat with an LED light for dark days. When it comes to hiking beanies, the brand BUFF is at the forefront.

Modern baseball cap

When hiking, of course, nobody has to do without their beloved cap. Caps are stylish and lightweight, fit snugly and offer good glare protection through the brim.

What should my kids wear when hiking?

For children, it doesn't always have to be a functional felt hiking hat – especially since they will almost certainly outgrow the hat size and it’s usually not worth buying an expensive felt hat. Other variants are better, such as functional beanies, caps or straw hats, which also offer extensive protection.

Which hiking hat is right for me?

The right size

The selected headgear can be of the highest quality and suitable for hiking. If the size is not right, the wearing comfort is gone. Fortunately, we have provided a detailed guide for determining your own head size in our online shop. After that, all you have to do is select the right size on the product page. Depending on the headgear, everything is available from XS to XXL oversize, so that the hiking headgear can fit non-slip on any head size.

Select according to usage

If the hiking hat is to be used all year round and frequently, we recommend a high-quality felt hat – possibly a robust VitaFelt hat from the Stetson brand. If hiking tours are only expected to take place in summer, you could alternatively consider the light version of the cap or straw hat. If, on the other hand, it’s going to be a snow hike in winter, a warm beanie might suffice. If you expect a lot of rain, a waterproof GORE-TEX® rain hat in a bucket shape can save the day’s hiking.

Final tip: proper care, cleaning and impregnation

To ensure that the headgear lasts as long as it protects, we would like to point out that it should be properly cared for. Felt hats in particular should be brushed and waterproofed regularly. Care products are also available in our shop. We have created an article on hat care for specific guidance. So nothing stands in the way of your next hiking adventure.
