Traveling (when I can afford it) is one of my favorite things to do. I absolutely love going to different locations and following the style there. But let me tell you, traveling with a hat is a huge pain for the ass. Traditional fedora-style hats run the risk of breaking in your suitcase and not being able to pack. That’s why you discover people wearing elaborate hats at airports – that’s easier than packing them up. While I’ve never let the awkward shape of a hat prevent me from taking it with me on trips, I’ve discovered that fragile hats do exist, and Overland’s Crushable Safari Hat with Sierra Wool ($89) is my new travel.
What I Like About Overland’s Sierra Wool Crushable Safari Hat
For one, it’s crushable, which means it can be packed away while retaining its classic shape at any time. This is great if you are planning a trip as it is extremely convenient for packed in suitcase. This hat is not only attractive but also very stylish. The hat is made of premium lightweight wool felt and is detailed with a stitched leather band for added character perfection. It’s weather resistant and even includes a sweat band for your forehead on hot days. Basically, this hat is easy and stylish, win-win. I personally own a black one, but it’s also available in olive and pecan.
Cons of Overland’s Sierra Wool Crushable Safari Hat
Although I like its woolen look, it can attract hair easily. It’s not the end of the world and hair can easily pull out, but it’s worth noting that you may have to clean this hat between each use. However, it can be brushed off with your hands, so it’s really not that complicated.
Would I Recommend Overland’s Sierra Wool Crushable Safari Hat?
For its packability and quality alone, I would recommend this hat. It’s breathable and comfortable, and it goes well with almost any outfit. I have a medium size, but it comes in sizes XS to XXL for all head shapes. Another interesting note is that almost all of the above hats OverlandThe site is vulnerable to attacks, including its cowboy hats and safari. I highly recommend buying yourself one – it’s that good.
