💢💢 Top 5 Hiking Hats for Men of 2021 💢💢

👉 #1: Best Overall Hiking Hat: Filson Summer Packer

[ Ссылка ]

For more than a century, Filson has been making quality outdoor gear meant to last a lifetime and this hat is no exception. Made with a lightweight, yet highly durable cotton material, the Summer Packer is surprisingly breathable, even with only 4 ventilation holes. The classic design is simple: There are no straps or velcro to deal with, making this hat perfect for hiking or casual wear. The brim of this hat is smaller than others on this list, providing for a little less sun coverage but it does not rub or chafe, drastically increasing its comfort.

What I like most about the Summer Packer is how well it regains its shape without creases or lasting damage, even after being shoved in a pack.

👉 #2: Best For Budget: The North Face Horizon Breeze Brimmer

[ Ссылка ]

This hat blew us away in terms of comfort and breathability, keeping us cool on all-day adventures with ease. Constructed from lightweight, ripstop materials, this hat is surprisingly durable for how floppy it looks and regains its normal shape well, even after being packed away for long periods of time. Featuring an elastic sweatband and neck strap, you don’t need to worry about losing this hat in windy conditions.

What I like most about this hat is the full mesh panel along the crown of this hat, making it highly breathable.

👉 #3: Best For Sun Exposure: Sunday Afternoons Ultra Adventure

[ Ссылка ]

This cape style brim hat offers the ultimate sun protection in a somewhat stylish package. Despite being a hybrid cap, this hat is super comfy to wear. Combined with the lightweight materials and you will forget you are even wearing this hat. Added features include an improved web cinching system, sunglass holders, and wrap around moisture wicking sweat band.

What I like most about this hat is that the brim features a darker color on the bottom, reducing glare when you’re traveling across water or snow.

👉 #4: Best Ultralight Option: Outdoor Research Sun Bucket

[ Ссылка ]

This hat performs above average in most categories but really stands out as one of the lightest brim hats on the market. When reducing weight you do sacrifice a bit of sun protection but this hat still has a decent brim for effectively covering your ears and face. The Sun Bucket is comfortable to wear, making it more likely packing this hat in is not a waste of space or energy. This hat is compact and durable enough for stuffing into a pack or pocket with ease.

What I like most about this hat is the built in UPF 50+ rating.

👉 #5: Best For Trail Running On Hot Days: Patagonia Duckbill

[ Ссылка ]

Its simple design combined with full-featured materials makes this cap excel when wearing during high output activities. A small bill with a full mesh back allows you to pack this hat small enough to fit into a pocket with minimal bulk. The mesh back uses a CoolMax sweatband that excels in wicking moisture and dissipating heat, while succeeding in keeping sweat out of your eyes. Fitting this hat for any adventure is easy, thanks to the rear-positioned elastic buckle.

What I like most about this hat is how well the darker colored brim helps with reducing glare.
