They protect parts of your head that need to stay warm, and they can easily be adjusted by adding or removing a certain part. So, if you are looking to buy a trapper hat, here is what you should be looking out for.
- Exterior Material: Choose an exterior material that is best suited for what you are going to do. Leather, cloth, wool, and synthetic materials are all options. This includes taking into account the environment you are going to use it in. The city and rugged outdoors while you are working, playing or just moving about.
- Interior Material: Because the interior is going to be touching your face the whole time, make sure you can tolerate it. From natural to synthetic materials, you should also consider allergies in addition to comfort.
