Geli: Trucker hats have never been high on my list since most of them have plastic mesh back panels and a plastic snap closure, making it not fit and feel nice. BOCO’s running trucker hats are a whole different story: Its back panels are made from breathable, wicking “tech” material with laser-cut hole patter. The adjustable Velcro closure in the back allows me to find the just right fit. This is definitely a hat that…
Joe: I love baseball caps. I actually don’t wear them that often, but my love of cool logos, graphics, and insignias has led me to accumulate a large collection of hats. In addition to various favorite sports teams’ caps, current and historic (insert plug for Ebbets Field Flannels here), I also have a number of nice hats from races. And one of my favorite caps is from local Portland outfit Grafletics, a hat whose crown…
When Columbia and Montrail partnered up in 2006 it might have spelled the end to an iconic trail running brand and yet, the two companies have managed to put out some very high quality shoes and gear over the years that holds up to the abuse of the trails and the climate changes that often accompany the life of a trail runner. Given the winters in Central Oregon, it is wise to have a few…
Keep on Truckin’! I say that because this item up for review is a Territory Run Co. Trucker hat – specifically the Loowit. There are a couple different styles and colors of to choose from, but all are very light weight and flexible, something that roped me in from the start. As I expected the Loowit is extremely lightweight – quite possibly the lightest trucker hat I’ve ever owned. I just love this feature because I am planning…
We all have our go-to hats, right? An old, smelly visor we received in some promotional packet years ago. Our favorite sports team logo, faded from the salt and the sun from long summer runs. A local brewery cap we couldn’t live without and bought on a whim. Mine is navy blue and says ‘Air Force Marathon’ – which I didn’t even run! That makes for some humbling and awkward conversations when people ask me…
As an ex-college athlete, I have worn many head coverings in my life. From helmets to skullcaps to caps, my noggin has always been covered. My wife now marvels at the sheer number of hats I have in my closet and, if you see me out and about you can pretty much tell who I am by looking for the guy wearing the Kansas City Royals logo. While the majority of my hat wearing is…
When you think of the word “Buff”, what crosses your mind. For many non-runners out there, they may think about muscles and weightlifting. For others, their minds may go to Duff beer, from Simpsons fame. However, for many of us runners Buff is the multifunctional headband company. Buff sent along some items for review – the Cap Pro Anton (named after Anton Krupicka) and their UV Arm Sleeves. Products: Cap Pro Anton (~$20) Specs (from website): Fastwick Extra…
