Banner & Oak Trucker Hat

I love this hat. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. I received two of these hats at a deep discount as part of a promotion for reviewing camping and outdoor gear. With that said, I can truthfully say that the Banner & Oak hats are awesome and I will now purchase their products regardless of whether that occurs in connection with a promotion. As for the hats, I typically require a high profile hat so I was sort of concerned when I first ordered this hat because it is listed as a mid-profile. Full review

Banner & Oak Trucker Hat

Rugged, durable material. One of my first purchases, was a wary one. I don't love trucker style hats, because more often than not, I'll get the odd one where the front sits ridiculously high on the head. It just looks....odd. Not so with this one. Top quality, I can really tell that this is going to be a hat I have for a while, and I love the patch design. Full review

Banner & Oak Pathfinder

A nice hat with women's heads in mind. From time to time I get products to test. This is one of those times. My head is on the small side and I am always on the lookout for hats that fit well and don't look ridiculous on me. Even though this hat is still on the large size for me, I like the look and feel of it. Out of the box it was stiff and took some working to soften it up. I think/hope it will continue to soften up as it will fit a bit better if it were softer. The adjuster snaps on the back… Full review

Banner & Oak Pathfinder

This is a lightweight, stylish, comfortable cap. I would definitely buy/gift. I wouldn’t consider myself a hat person but while camping and hiking in Alaska I’ve discovered they’ve made me happier. This hat is a cute trucker style hat with a mesh backing. It fits true to size and is easily adjustable. I always have a hard time figuring out how to bend a hat, but in my opinion this one was easy to make cute and feel nice. I gave it a 4/5 star due to the mesh feeling a little thick/not easily… Full review

Banner & Oak Trucker Hat

Good quality multi-purpose, trucker style hat from Banner and Oak. Got a great quality hat from Banner & Oak. It is a trucker style hat. Love the multiple colors of the hat and the stitch work is good. Love that it’s made in the USA. It’s breathable to wear while hiking and their shipping is great. Ordered it and only 4 days later it was delivered!!! Full review

Frogg Toggs Waterproof Breathable Boonie Hat

Frogg Toggs Boonie Hat is one of those deals that makes one ask why the big name brands charge so much for their products. This hat has kept me dry in heavy downpours and thunderstorms. The 3-inch brim is plenty wide to keep the rain and sun off my face and the back of my neck. The hat crushes down to a flat tortilla in the pack and comes right back into shape (with a few new wrinkles). It's more breathable than any other rain hat I've owned. It only weighs 2.5 ounces. And if I ruin it or lose it,… Full review

Kora Shola 230 Esker Hat

Beanie whose main unique feature is that it is made out of 100 percent yak wool. Very fine knit wool is less coarse than either of my merino wool beanies. Double layer knit wool cap fits snugly, is low profile, provides nice warmth, and wicks moisture really well. A very nice option for being active in cooler weather. After a discussion on Trailspace about Kora, a company that sells layers and other clothing made of yak wool, I decided to try out this hat. Frankly, I was hesitant about buying one… Full review

Norse Projects Lambswool Beanie

A simple stylish hat made from natural fibres which provide very effective, if somewhat itchy, insulation on cold days. I was a bit reluctant to buy a beanie made from lambswool as I remember from my days in the Fire and Rescue Service that wool is very itchy. However, in my determination to buy a garment made from natural fibres as opposed to oil-based ones I thought I'd take the risk. The hat is a good fit for me and l like the style. I mainly wear it with the bottom folded over but in milder… Full review
