Headwear

Which Headwear Do I Need

Balaclava
Balaclava is a type of headwear that is generally made from polyester or wool material. The Balaclava completely covers your entire face, leaving room for just eyes, nostrils, and mouth. This headwear is ideal for cold weather conditions and can be worn under a helmet.

Bandana
Bandana acts like a headband and a true lifesaver on the hiking trails in hot humid conditions. They keep hair out of the eyes and face while absorbing sweat as well.

Beanie
Beanies are widely available in their standard design just like a bean. The most widely used materials are wool, polyester fleece, and polypropylene. Beanies are also available in cotton, bamboo, nylon, cashmere, and silk stuff. Beanie is comfortable and warm and ideal for cold days.

Caps
Caps are usually designed for blocking sunlight from the eyes. Caps and tapes come in various sizes, shapes, and designs from leading brands like Arcteryx, Salomon, a href="/outdoor-mountain/salewa/178/m" title="Salewa">Salewa, Columbia, and Haglöfs.

Hats
Your head needs complete protection from sun rays during summer hikes. Hats with wide brims shade your face and neck from the harmful rays as well as keep snow, rain, and sweat at bay.

Headbands
Headbands are generally worn around the forehead during intense active outdoor activity to absorb sweat.

Visors
Visors look cooler than hats owing to their unique design. They are open at the top and allow more breathability than other headwear. Visors provide excellent sun protection to your face and keep sweat from dripping on the face.
