Patagonia Duckbill Cap

Short-listed for Best Short Brim Hat

Whether you are training for a rigorous mountain ultramarathon or just spending a sunny Saturday afternoon weeding the vegetable garden, the lightweight Patagonia Duckbill Cap keeps the glare out of your eyes. The short foam brim shades your face without blocking your view of steep switchbacks, and it easily folds up so you can stuff the whole hat into your pocket when the sun dips behind the trees. A dark underbill reduces blinding trail glare, while the internal moisture-wicking headband keeps sweat from stinging your eyes during steep climbs. This hat adjusts with a rear elastic buckle for a secure fit that will not blow away in a stiff mountain breeze.
