Head & Neck Wear

Head & Neck Wear

Headwear and neckwear should also be considered an important part of your kit for all outdoor leisure activities - whatever the season and whatever the weather.

Winter Hats & Scarves

In the winter a hat is a very important part of your outdoor kit. You can lose up to 30% of your body heat through your head, so a warm hat or balaclava can make a big difference.

A lot of heat is also lost through the neck of your jacket, so a scarf or neck gaiter is also worth considering.

Summer Hats & Caps

In the summer a hat is a good idea to shield you from the sun. Heatstroke and sunstroke can be a real threat, and even a baseball cap can help here, with the peak giving your eyes some valuable protection.

When the sun is really hot a wide brimmed hat is a good idea to protect the back of your neck.
