WOOL RUNNING HAT – WHEN THE COLD DOESN'T CHEER YOU
There are days when the weather is cold and harsh, but the running shoes still call you.
With a good running hat, you're better protected when the wind blows cold or temperatures drop.
If you're well-dressed for the run, you can focus more on your run rather than the weather. And with a good running hat that shields your head from the elements, you're more likely to complete your planned run despite gusts, hail, snow, and cold.
So pull your running hat snug over your ears and head out into the cold. The running hat helps you, and it feels extra good to return to warmth after braving the cold.
You can use running hats before, during, and after a race, as it suits you best.
Running hats come in many versions and can, of course, be used for purposes other than running.
RUNNING HAT – REMEMBER THE HAT IF THE WIND HOWLS
Wind is one of the challenging weather conditions in the cold months that can keep runners indoors. Perhaps the weather phenomenon many runners find most challenging and annoying. Once you're cold and wet, and the wind adds extra chill, it can be hard to stay warm. Especially on days when the waves show their teeth.
If you choose a sweat-wicking and wind-resistant running hat, you're on the right track.
It's important that sweat can be led away as best as possible - and rain, sleet, and snow can be repelled as best as possible.
Protection, warmth, and breathability are running hats' defenses against the cold.
RUNNING HATS WITH MERINO WOOL
Merino wool comes from the merino sheep, primarily found in New Zealand and Australia today. We're talking about a purely natural wool product.
Merino wool has several advantages and good properties. It feels soft and comfortable, as the thin fibers prevent it from scratching the skin. The ability to regulate temperature is significant. Even when the wool gets wet, it can provide warmth. Wool is somewhat self-cleaning. At least you can wear a wool running hat for relatively longer than a synthetic one without it smelling of sweat. Therefore, merino wool is often used by people who need to stay outside for extended periods in the cold while being active.
Regarding sweat-wicking ability, synthetic running hats win. You can advantageously choose synthetic running hats if the cold allows it, and you don't need to be out in the cold long enough for it to matter if your running hat gets wet.
Ideally, it's nice to have running hats in different materials so you can best choose according to the weather on the day.
RUNNING HATS – IMPORTANT DETAILS
A running hat is a relatively small garment, but it can have crucial and functional details that make a difference.
For example, you can get a running hat with a hole on the side for your (sun)glasses or a hole for your ponytail. If you need your running hat in the dark, you can advantageously choose one with reflectors. If you're after inner comfort, there are running hats with fleece lining placed strategically, and if you want reversible running hats, that's also possible. To optimize the running hat's fit as much as possible, so it bothers you the least, there are also running hats for children, where the seams are designed in a special way to protect the forehead and ears. If you want a thin running hat that can also be used under a bike helmet, that's certainly an option.
