Headwear and headbands
When traveling or playing sports, regardless of the weather, accessories such as a hat or headband are extremely important. In the cold and windy season, you need insulation and protection from the wind, in the sunny season, you need a cover from the sun and a means to control sweat. Headgear is different, and we will help you understand it in more detail:
1. Hats are a common accessory that completely covers the head and ears. The material from which hats are made is different:
- synthetics (polyester, polyamide, acrylic, elastane, Primaloft). Depending on the model, they can be with reflective elements, with GoreTex wind protection, with insulation or without. Synthetic hats are best suited for active movement and the off-season.
- wool of merino sheep. Such caps come in different thicknesses and for different weather conditions. Due to the characteristics of wool, they retain heat very well and have antibacterial properties. Usually, they are best used at sub-zero ambient temperatures and with slow movement or static work.
- a mixture of synthetics and wool. This type of production is used to combine the advantages of both types of materials: synthetics dry quickly and stretch well, and wool perfectly retains heat and does not absorb odors.
Our assortment includes hats from the BUFF, Black Diamond, Accapi, Smartwool brands.
The models differ in cut, materials and purpose. Here you can find a wide range of caps, visors and panamas from the BUFF brand.
3. Headbands – unlike hats, they are best used when the ambient temperature is above 0 °C or to secure hair.
Like other hats, they are made of different materials: synthetics, wool or a mixture of synthetics and wool. They also differ in such features as size, reflective elements, insulation, GoreTex wind protection.

It can be worn in 12 different ways, used in various situations and in any weather. BUFF is a leading manufacturer and innovator of neck wraps. This is a brand with a 30-year history, with headquarters and production in Spain, near Barcelona.
Neckbands are available without insulation, with Primaloft fleece insulation, merino sheep wool, with reflective elements, with insect or UV protection, or with GoreTex wind protection.
Each model is special and designed for a certain level of activity, ambient temperature and other external factors. Synthetic neckbands without insulation are better to use for warm or moderate weather and medium pace of movement, woolen ones with insulation - at temperatures below 0 °C. It is worth remembering that the slower you move, the less the body produces heat and needs additional protection. All models are made in various designs and colors, so it is easy to choose them for any taste.
5. Balaclavas and bandanas - reliable protection of the head, ears and neck from wind and cold.
Most often, they are used during winter hikes in the mountains or skiing and snowboarding. Depending on the model, they are made of synthetics (polyester, polyamide), Primaloft, merino sheep wool, and with GoreTex wind protection.
