Best sports & outdoors hats & caps according to redditors

I caved in and bought a Boonie hat and I couldn't be happier with it. It provides the perfect amount of sun coverage for my face and neck and keeps pretty cool as compared with my other hats. It's also fairly windproof since it comes with a draw string that prevents the hat from flying off on a windy day.

Breathable layers, mostly, as few as you can get away with while not freezing your butt off. With rain in particular, I find that having a couple layers is enough to keep me semi-warm while I'm not yet warmed up from running (the first mile or so). Once I start generating excess heat from running, my body heat plus the layers plus all the layers being wet tends to get me warm really fast. Having the beanie especially helps with this - if you can get one of those ones that has the heat-reflective inside (like one of these), even better.

Also, gloves! Every time it gets below 40, I end up wondering why the heck I don't have gloves to wear while I'm running. My hands and feet are the last to warm up when I'm running in colder weather. In general, though, the "dress like it's 20F warmer than the actual temperature" rule for running still applies in cold rain, I've found. :)

I know I'm a little late and you might be all set at this point, but this thing from Burton, the Cora Hood, is incredible. I saw people wearing them in Colorado last year and my sister got me one for Christmas. It is insanely warm and soft, and has stayed soft after a couple of washes/line-dries.

I've bought a couple of those and I'll just add that I'm not a fan of them.I Like the leather strap but the colors of the hats are quite faded and they have a rather bulky look when fitted. I've bought multiple hat styles on Amazon trying to find one that is slim and conforms well and the best I've found was the VC300.

Just my 2 cents.

Titty Sprinkles

My fiancee has this cupcake hat and it has sprinkles and she has titties.

This is how I stay warm since I don't own a vehicle.

I can definitely see the appeal of mixing "street" and higher fashion. Combinations of styles make things more interesting. Purism is for the unimaginative. I personally prefer tight fitting beanies. This is a good balance between both though.

Some of Burton’s hoods have “helmet fit” as a size option.

I used to skate in random fleece ones before I got lucky and bought a great pair of Under Armour gloves on sale. (this model exactly, if you're curious) they're technically for running but they have a cool rubberized inside which is super convenient for falling, they're also waterproof and they have a fleece side on the thumbs which the UA site claims can be used for wiping your nose.... if you're into that. I haven't tried, lol.

also? not gonna lie, having a little bit of under armour gear on me definitely makes me feel self-important and helps me channel my inner Yuzu lmao

These are the ones I have. The palms are just a layer of fabric with silicone grip on them. I mostly wear them to keep my calluses from getting too bad and for a little extra confidence on the TRX.

I've also found that wearing a silicone ring instead of my wedding and engagement rings so I don't have the paranoia of "OMG where are my rings?!" and they get in the way less than my metal rings.
