Walking & Hiking Hats
The perfect hiking hat for hours under the sun
Even if you’ve long thought that hats aren’t for you, choosing a Walking & Hiking Hat is the best solution when you’re walking under the sun. To avoid nasty sunburns and protect your eyes and skin from UV rays, the Walking & Hiking Hat is irreplaceable and unbeatable: it’s in its element. Whether you’re embarking on an alpine trek like the Tour du Mont-Blanc or prefer to visit the 'Desert' of Bardenas Reales, a vast arid area in the southeast of Navarre, Spain, where impressive rock formations seem to ripple under the summer sun, your trekking hat will be a loyal ally that won’t leave your side. At the end of your trek, you’ll want to tip your hat to it!
Choosing the right hiking hat
There are several styles of Walking & Hiking Hats: with a back panel, with a cord attachment, with UV protection, or even with a mosquito-repellent coating… anything is possible! Thus, while the primary function of a trekking hat is to protect you from the sun, it can also serve as insect and UV protection. Be aware that there are also waterproof hats, such as the Walking & Hiking Hat from Millet, the Millet Rainproof Hat. Furthermore, it’s important that your trekking hat offers quick drying to prevent your head from cooling down due to the moisture from your sweat, as hiking is a high-intensity activity. However, be careful, while the trekking hat protects your head, it does not replace your sunglasses: they complement your Walking & Hiking Hat! To choose the right Walking & Hiking Hat, it’s also important to note that there are differences between a men's hiking hat and a women's hiking hat, particularly in terms of the cut of the trekking hat. You’ve understood, there are many possibilities when it comes to hiking hats!
The trekking hat, a wise alternative for better protection
Why choose a trekking hat over a hiking cap? The trekking hat is more encompassing than a hiking cap and protects your head both at the front and back. For your Walking & Hiking Hat, we recommend prioritising lightweight materials such as cotton, polyamide, or polyester if you want a windproof trekking hat that is resistant to wind and rain.
Men, women, and children, the Walking & Hiking Hat is for everyone, from a young age! The important thing is to find the headgear that fits your head… and doesn’t give you a headache!
