Climbing hats

I like dad hats, but they provide little protection in the event of a fall. Plus, I had one blow away in a gust of wind on After Slix.

Any recommends for climbing hats?

Thanks!

I like the kind that goes on your head

I have a black diamond trucker hat. I'm sure they just contract it out to some random factory in southeast asia, but it fits incredibly well. I wear it when I run, climb, skate, bike, hike, walk around...Everywhere. It fits really well and rarely gets blown off my head.

Not really anything special. Just a well made good hat that's held up well so far

Any hat without a button on the top or a visor can be worn under a climbing helmet.

I had to get a new hat this summer. Got one from these guys and it's sweet. Plus they do a hat recycling program.

I wear this goofy looking cap for the extra sun protection. It fits well under a helmet and is highly adjustable with a buckle you can clip to harness.

wear literally any baseball style hat of your preference under your helmet.

If you're set on a ball cap and not a helmet, you could get a ERB bump cap insert that will give you some protection. I worked at a facility that would allow these apposed to hard hats. The only issue is they do not have a safety certification.

Outdoor Research makes some righteous boony hats

These hats are super rad. Extra points for being based on CA mountain ranges and seemingly never showing signs of wear. They're also produced by a local artist.

Stay safe. Always!!!

I dont understand the question.   What kind of protection in a fall are you looking for in a non helmet?   Other than that get a hat you like and will wear.  What is your favorite baseball team?  BAM!!! problem solved.

I’m actually more concerned about torpedoes over falls. 

The da brim is great.  It turns your helmet into a hat.

Pretty simple, wear a helmet.  

I forgo the hat and wear a sun-hoodie for my neck and ears and don a hat underneath my helmet.  5-panel hats work well since they don't have the button on top.

I’ve seen something like this marketed for baseball players. Does anyone have experience using these? I’ve heard complaints about the pressure on your head.
