I am pretty obsessive when it comes to hats. <\/strong>I love them in all their forms \u2014\u00a0cowboy hats, bucket hats, baseball caps, fedoras, tricorns. You name it, and I probably own at least one of them.<\/p>\n

But the one kind of hat I’ve never loved for its fit, feel, or style is the typical running, hiking, or general outdoor hat. They’re lightweight, unremarkable, and often kind of cheap-feeling. So, I usually end up wearing a regular cotton ballcap. I’ll burn through one of those every year before it reaches the salt-stained, clip-snapped, color-fading end of its life.<\/p>\n

Toward the end of the last hiking season and the beginning of ski season, I got turned onto a new hat brand that changed my mind \u2014 Fractel. Once I started using this rad headwear, I fell in love with an outdoor sports hat for the first time in my life.<\/p>\n

I’ve since tried a few of Fractel’s styles, and I can confidently say these are the coolest, most comfortable, and highest-quality outdoor hats I know of. The many different styles offer something for almost any outdoor sport, activity, and aesthetic preference. Yes, these are billed as running caps \u2014 but they kick ass in any outdoor setting you put them in.<\/p>\n

In short:<\/strong> Fractel’s outdoor headwear<\/strong><\/a> is the most comfortable and high-quality I’ve encountered. Fractel started as a running hat brand, but its headwear is great for backpacking, hiking, paddling, ski touring, yard work, and other sweaty outdoor endeavors. The brand uses cool colors and patterns, and it makes different styles and weights of hats for different preferences and conditions. They all wick moisture quickly, dry fast, and add style points to any outdoor ensemble.<\/p>\n
