Functional outdoor and hiking hats for men and women

Sunstroke can have very unpleasant consequences, but fortunately it can be easily avoided. While cyclists are usually very well protected from the sun by their cycle helmets, hikers and other outdoor sports enthusiasts must actively look for good head protection, which may even protect the face, ears and neck.

Outdoor and hiking hats are available for hill walking, trekking and many other outdoor sports activities. Outdoor sports enthusiasts protect themselves from the sun and inclement weather with classic hats, outdoor hats, headscarves, caps, visors, straw hats and sun hats. While many hiking hats are offered as unisex models, some hats and caps are also designed specifically for women or men.

From straw hats to functional outdoor hats

Straw hats with a wide brim are good for hill walking in high temperatures, because they'll protect you well from the sun and are also very breathable. However, they'll hardly protect you from the wind and rain and they take a relatively long time to dry again after a rain shower.

Outdoor hats made from breathable functional fabric also protect the head, face and neck. They dry quickly, are super compressible and easy to wash. With practical details such as adjustable drawstrings and integrated mosquito nets, outdoor hats are perfect for hiking and trekking in hot and tropical regions.

Outdoor hats for summer and winter

Fishing hats, headscarves and caps protect hikers, runners and trail runners, especially in summer temperatures, while impressing with their comfortable feel, decent ventilation and breathability properties. Hiking hats with extended peaks and extra neck protection are not only ideal for deserts, but also offer first-class sun protection in the mountains and other high altitude areas.

Moreover, in winter, the UV radiation in the mountains is very strong and head protection with a woolly hat or ski helmet is highly recommended. Outdoor hats made of felt, wool or merino wool are perfect for the changing of seasons in warm spring and cool autumn weather, because they protect from the sun, keep you warm and protect you from the elements.
