It's so hard to find good PCT gear! I love being able to rep the trail if I'm out running errands, hiking, or just out and about. Plus, it breathes really well!

My new favorite hat! The quality is great, and it keeps me cool during activities. The teal color is even more beautiful in person!

I love the PCT tail cap I get to wear an incredibly lightweight cap while promoting the trail I love. The cap is easily adjustable and has additional sun protection in the fabric. The sand cap is great for those like me who prefer neutral colors.

I was worried this would be a super stick flat brimmed hat and it's not! It forms to the shape of your head really well. I was also worried that this would be super huge and puffy/bulky on my tiny head and it's not. It's a little big but it's not bulky at all, not like a trucker hat. I am very please with this hat. I LOVE that I get to rep the PCT. The color is even nicer in person.

I wore my new PCT Day Trip cap while hiking up to Mt. Baldy. It was a beautiful sunny day. My cap definitely saved me from what could have been a gnarly sunburn. I love how lightweight it is while still providing great coverage. Highly recommend!

I like how comfy and lightweight this hat is. What will make me reach for it over my other trail hats though is the little nod to the PCT community.

It's a real nice hat but the main thing is that I get to sport the PCT. Love it when others in the trail world stop me to say hi because of the sticker on my car, or the emblem on my hat. The lightweight synthetic fabric is great, as is overall lightness of the hat. I also like the style - a lower profile, a brim that can be shaped, and the cord. It seems like it'd do super well as a swimming/water hat too. All in all, pretty great.

Love this hat! It is extremely light weight, breathable, and so comfortable that it hardly feels like it's even there. The material is amazing quality, and the earth tones look great. If you want a hat that keeps you cool and looks great with everything, this is it!

My Dad was a trail keeper on the PCTA for 12 years. He is 89 now and lost his hats in the most recent move. He was so disappointed. Luckily I could find a new one!!! Thank you!

I love the PCT Day Trip Cap. It's lightweight and keeps the sun out of my eyes. I appreciate the extra sun protection from the SPF in the fabric. I also like that the bill isn't flat, it has a nice curve to it. Overall, a really nice cap and I love the sand color.

It wicks sweat really well, perfect for long days out on the trail!

Survived a sunny paddle boarding day on Tahoe and kept my face from being burnt. 🙌🏻 Gets an A+ in my book.

This cap is perfect for hiking here in the desert. And also for our mountain get-aways to cooler weather. The hat is comfortable and well-made. I especially enjoy the way it is such a conversation starter. Lots of hikers came up to me in Big Bear wanting to talk about the PCT and that's always a good thing. I'm really enjoying my PCT Day Trip Cap.

Incredibly comfortable and supports a great cause

It is OK. Not the flat top I prefer and not the trucker style.
