Power mesh panels keep air moving the moment you start climbing, so your head stays covered without cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a low-profile, five-panel camp hat cut from 87% recycled nylon and 13% spandex, with direct embroidery artwork.

A spring skin up the Main Range, a bluebird climb out of Guthega, or a hike to the Bluff on the Bogong High Plains can go from chilly to hot in ten minutes. That's exactly where a breathable mesh cap beats a beanie: it keeps the sun off your face on the way up and dumps heat instead of trapping it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOff the snow it works just as well for summer hikes, mountain bike laps and long days outside under the Aussie sun.
