How to Choose Outdoor Headwear
Winter: choose insulated, fleece or merino hats for warmth in cold and windy weather.
Summer: baseball caps, trucker caps and sun hats help provide shade and ventilation.
Fishing and hiking: quick-dry, wind-resistant and lightweight headwear works well during active outdoor use.
Merino: merino wool hats offer warmth, moisture management and comfort under a hood.
Fit: check size, adjustability and coverage for the intended activity and season.
Winter Beanies or Caps?
Beanies and warm hats are better suited to cold and windy weather, while caps work better in warmer conditions when shade and airflow matter more. For neck protection in wind and changing weather, see our buffs, bandanas and neck gaiters.
Headwear for Fishing, Hiking and Travel
For fishing and long days outdoors, choose headwear based on sun exposure, wind and temperature. In winter, combine a warm hat with the wider outdoor accessories range for gloves, gaiters and other cold-weather essentials.
Merino and Cold-Weather Accessories
Merino hats are a practical choice for cool and cold conditions because they combine warmth with moisture management. For additional cold-weather comfort, browse our hiking and merino socks.
