FAQs

When should I choose a legionnaire hat instead of a regular cap?

Legionnaire hats are ideal when you’re running or hiking in strong sun or exposed conditions and need extra coverage for your ears and neck. They’re popular for long trail days, desert, alpine or any other environments, and any time you’re out for hours without shade.

How much sun protection do your legionnaire hats provide?

Our legionnaire hats are designed with UPF-rated panels, typically offering higher protection on the brim, front and sides, with additional coverage across the top and neck. Check the product details for the exact UPF rating on each style, and remember that sunscreen on exposed skin is still recommended.

Will the neck flap feel hot or get in the way while I run?

The flap is made from lightweight, breathable fabric that moves with you instead of sticking to your skin. Many styles also feature button or clip points so you can secure the flap when it’s windy or when you don’t need the full coverage.

Are legionnaire hats adjustable and helmet‑compatible?

Yes - our legionnaire designs include adjustable closures so you can dial in the fit, and the low-profile crown works under many bike and climbing helmets. Check out our sizing guide for more info and, if you’re wearing one under a helmet, we recommend loosening the helmet slightly and doing a quick test fit at home first.
