What hats are best for hiking in the rain?

The best hats for hiking in wet weather are those that combine waterproof protection with comfort. Look for a hat built with a fully waterproof yet breathable membrane, such as our Aquasealz™ technology, which keeps rain out while allowing sweat to escape. A structured or wide brim can help divert rain away from your face, and a snug but comfortable fit ensures it stays secure even in windy conditions. This combination means you can keep moving confidently, whatever the forecast.

How do I choose a breathable hiking hat?

When choosing a breathable hiking hat, focus on materials and design. A high-quality hiking hat should feature fabrics that wick away moisture from your skin while allowing heat to escape. Some designs include mesh panels or ventilated crowns for added airflow, while still maintaining weather protection. The key is to find a hat that balances waterproofing with ventilation, so your head stays dry on the outside and comfortable on the inside, even on strenuous climbs.

What is the best sun protection for hiking hats?

For reliable sun protection, choose a hiking hat that offers both UV-resistant fabric and thoughtful design. Dense, tightly woven materials or those with an SPF/UPF rating provide excellent defence against harmful rays, while a wide brim or extended peak shields your face, ears, and neck. Some waterproof hats even maintain UV protection when wet, making them ideal for changeable conditions. With the right hat, you’ll be protected from both strong sun and sudden showers on the trail.
