Women's Hiking Hats

Hat, cap or beanie depending on the season

Your head needs protection all year round: from the sun in summer, from the cold in winter, and sometimes from the rain. A women's hat or cap shields you from the rays during summer outings, while a beanie keeps the warmth in when temperatures drop. Light and easy to pack away, the right headwear slips neatly into the bottom of your rucksack and comes out the moment the weather calls for it.

Sun protection in summer

Under the sun, protection against UV rays is essential: a wide-brimmed hat or bucket hat covers your face and neck, while a cap keeps your view clear. Look for breathable fabric that wicks away sweat on long outings. In the mountains, where the sun is stronger, a wide brim offers extra protection.

A warm beanie for winter

When it's cold, a beanie helps retain body heat, since the head is a major source of heat loss. A warm model that covers the ears makes a real difference at altitude. Complete your kit with gloves and mittens to keep your hands warm.

Gearing up properly

Choose your headwear to suit the season, and check out the men's styles too, along with the full range of hiking hats, caps and beanies. It's a small accessory that transforms your comfort on every outing, summer and winter alike. Designed for trekking and adventure, a well-ventilated hat is a basic part of your kit: a simple tip for comfortable summer walks, safely shaded from the sun.
