What are the best hats for rain and cold weather?

When choosing a hat for rain and cold weather, the ideal design combines waterproof protection with insulation and wind resistance. A great waterproof hat should include a reliable membrane that keeps moisture out while allowing sweat vapour to escape. In cold weather, you also want lining materials such as fleece, merino wool, or microfleece, that trap warmth without bulk. Features like extended brims or fold-down ear flaps help shield delicate areas like the face and ears from wind and precipitation. Sealskinz hats are engineered to meet these needs: our waterproof, windproof, and breathable hats are built to keep you dry and warm in harsh weather conditions, whether you’re using a beanie, bobble hat, or waterproof cap.

How do I choose a hat for hiking?

For hiking, selecting the right hat means balancing protection, weight, ventilation, and fit. A hiking hat should be lightweight so it doesn’t fatigue you, yet sturdy enough to endure movement, branches, or occasional knocks. Look for designs with vents or breathable panels to allow airflow and reduce overheating. During summer months, a brim or peak is beneficial to shield your eyes from sun or rain while staying lightweight. The hat should also stay secure, a snug but comfortable fit, or chin strap in windy or exposed terrain, helps prevent it from shifting or blowing off. In the Sealskinz range, the foldable, vented hiking caps and waterproof bucket styles are ideal for walkers who demand both protection and comfort over varied terrain.

What are breathable, waterproof hats?

A breathable, waterproof hat is one that repels external moisture (rain/snow) but permits internal moisture (sweat) to escape, offering protection without trapping warmth or causing damp discomfort. This is achieved via our Aquasealz™ membrane, which is sandwiched between warm and breathable fabrics. In effect, these hats shed water from the outside while transferring moisture from inside to the exterior. The result is a hat that protects you in wet conditions, yet remains comfortable during higher activity levels.
