Hot Weather Headwear
Fractel's sun protection running hat range covers the sessions where normal shade isn't enough: harsh sun, relentless heat, constant exposure.
More coverage than a standard cap
Wide-brimmed adventure hats and full-coverage Legionnaires shield your neck, ears and face when a cap alone won't cut it. Both use the same lightweight, breathable fabrics as the rest of our range. Mesh panels and moisture-wicking construction keep airflow high even when the heat won't let up.
Coolcore fabric, doing the cooling without chemicals
The Adventure Hat runs Coolcore SolarGuard through its main panels and Coolcore Breeze mesh on the sides, both chemical-free thermoregulation. Sun Hoodies use a third Coolcore fabric, Tyndall, for the same job across a full-length layer instead of just your head.
Pick your coverage level
A visor gives you the least coverage and the most airflow. A cap sits in the middle. The Adventure Hat and Legionnaire go further still, adding a neck cape for the sessions where a cap's brim isn't enough. That's exactly the gap a proper sun protection running hat needs to close.
Our adventure hat with a tuck-away neck cape is one option, and our full neck-and-ear coverage style goes even further. Want more airflow instead? Try an open-top design, or go packable with a wide-brim bucket style.
