Best Travel Hats – The hat I usually took with me when traveling was an old baseball hat. It was “broken in,” fit me well, packed well (I usually put socks inside it in my bag to save on space), and would keep the sun out of my eyes. It served it the purpose I needed. The baseball hat provided shade, looked decent, and covered up a bad hair day. These are all important qualities in a hat. But sometimes when you are spending a lot of time on a boat, in the rain forest, on the beach in the sun, hiking in the desert, or somewhere with lots of bugs and mosquitoes, you need something better than a baseball hat.<\/p>\n
Here are the best travel hats for bug protection, sun, wide brim and more, based on hats in various categories. After getting attacked with bugs on our visit to the southeastern states, we made it our mission to never leave for a trip or even a day hike without a hat to keep the bugs away.<\/p>\n
