Insulating the head is an extremely effective way to retain a lot of warmth in the body. Wearing a Beanie is a great way of doing this. A Balaclava can provide an extra layer of insulation, essential in biting cold winds to keep you warm and preventing frost-bite of the ears. And if you need protection from the sun and rain you should choose the Tilley Hat. This is Rays favourite which you will have seen him wearing on his canoe adventures.

From sun-blocking wide-brim styles to insulating wool beanies, every item in our camping headwear collection has been picked with outdoor life in mind. Trust these camping headwear options when the forecast is uncertain or the trail gets long.

We stock a versatile selection of hats, balaclavas, waterproof hoods, and wool beanies, all designed for field use. Waterproof hats with brims help to shield your face and neck when the rain starts, while balaclavas and insulated options retain heat in cold, windy conditions without bulk. Wool hats offer warmth and natural moisture control with fleece linings to help cut out chill when the wind picks up.

Each piece of camping headwear can handle all that the outdoors entail. Lightweight but protective fabrics fold or pack easily, with the ability to dry quickly if damp. Reinforced seams and durable materials help your camping headwear stand up to branches, straps, and rugged use. Breathable linings ensure comfort even during active use, as no one wants to overheat under the brim or ear flaps.

Bushcraft expert Ray Mears emphasises the importance of simple, functional clothing, and camping headwear is certainly no exception. A waterproof sun hat can be just as essential as warm gloves when conditions differ.

Our lightweight caps provide essential shade on bright days, keeping the sun off your face and neck. Some options use lightweight fabrics with UV protection, allowing airflow while helping reduce the risk of sunburn and heat fatigue.

This collection of camping headwear is great for long hikes, canoe journeys, or open-ground treks where shade can be limited, offering comfort as well as protection.
