Recent Headwear Product Reviews
Arctic Lynx High-Performance Infinity Scarf
This scarf is best used as a nursing cover, as it’s a perfect size, fabric, and is easily washable. It’s also a fantastic scarf for all types of outdoor physical activities, as it’s composed of a midweight fabric, is comfortable, and wicks moisture. This product is best for coverage during nursing, and for added warmth during outdoor activities in moderately cold temperatures. I would absolutely recommend it for physical activity in the outdoors and for nursing mothers alike. Conditions: … Full review
Appalachian Gear Company All-Paca Neck Pipe
This is a simple neck gaiter, serving a basic but essential part of my various outdoor activities. Alpaca wool performs superior over synthetic and cotton, plus even slightly better than merino wool. Breathability makes it much more tolerable in hot conditions, while it works very well for thermal protection in the cold. It also helps keep the sun off my neck, face, and head. Background & Conditions: Please see my review of merino wool Buffs for a full discussion of why I like and use neck… Full review
Buff Lightweight Merino Wool Buff
An accessory that earns its keep—whatever you do, outdoors. It's a scarf, a head or wristband, a hat, balaclava, towel, pot gripper...It may be the loose neck covering you want, or tight draught excluder you need—depending on how you wear it. Wash it in the sink, with mild soap, and wear it again tomorrow. I read Twig's detailed (outstanding) review and immediately upgraded my £3 polyester neck gaiter clone. The wool Buff can warm you up, or cool you down, so quickly supersedes cotton bandanas… Full review
Icebreaker Merino Flexi Chute
This small, lightweight bit of clothing makes an amazing difference in warmth and comfort in all outdoor situations. High quality merino and versatility of use make this a great dependable item. I wear an Icebreaker merino neck gaiter in many outdoor pursuits—backpacking, skiing, trekking, biking, and post cold water swimming. I have used it in the BC Coast range, the Yukon, the Himalayas, and around town when it’s cold, It provides an almost miraculous level of warmth. It is versatile; can… Full review
Outdoor Research Nomad Sun Hat
A very solid option for warm weather treks and keeping the sun off your face. Generous vents and lightweight fabrics also make it a very cool option due to lots of air flow on top. I also like how robust the cord and cord lock are. Primary gripe is limited sizing options. The Outdoor Research Nomad is a hat made for sun protection and warm weather. It sports a three-inch brim, generous mesh ventilation panels, a cord and cord-lock to keep it from flying off your head, and only weighs about three… Full review
Jöttnar Vorn
Extremely light, adjustable, vented, and sweat resistant—color is slightly muted—but it has a trick up its sleeve when it comes to getting rid of water. I wear hats. I wear them everyday and have a go-to collection of baseball hats that number in the 20's. All have a purpose, I've discovered. Some are good for mowing; some for gardening; winter ones, spring ones, fishing ones, the list goes on. Purchasing the Vorn was an attempt to find the right hat for my reclining hairstyle and to ward off… Full review
Tilley T3 Cotton Duck Hat
The best hat you will ever own. And they stand 100% behind their products. Full review
Tilley T3 Cotton Duck Hat
Don't be like me...get a T3! Quality and attention to detail throughout. Buy one excellent hat—instead of a cheap disposable one, every year. Even as a younger man, I accepted the need for a hat in the mountains or on the trail. Sun protection reduced the risk of burning, or more serious skin ailments. It reduced fatigue and eye strain. A hat kept your head warmer, or cooled you down when you dunked it in a river, waterfall, or stream. I never packed an outdoor bag which didn't contain at least… Full review
NativesOutdoors White Shell Mountain Beanie
I'm a sucker for mountain ridges, topo lines, and the color blue—so this reversible mountain beanie from NativesOutdoors hits a whole lot of high points for me. I bought the White Shell Mountain Beanie six months ago, and despite getting it at the start of summer, I've managed to wear it camping, skate skiing, and hiking in the snow, rain, and wind so far. And it's not even winter yet. This beanie was an easy addition to my hat roster. Plus, $10 of my purchase went to charity. I wear beanies whenever… Full review
