The top of the hat is made from tricot mesh. The brim is black on the underside to prevent any glare coming from a reflection on the hat. I normally can’t fit hats under 62cm but thanks to the rounded shape of the brim and the adjustable back, I don’t even have red marks on my forehead at the end of the day. Patagonia claims this hat fits up to a 61cm head size. The Tricot Mesh and adjustable band of the Duckbill Cap There is a sweat wicking internal headband made from our 100% recycled Capilene Cool Trail fabric. So, you can finally wear shorts on your head and not look like a kook. It is made of 100% Nylon, sourced from the Patagonia Baggies Shorts line. I think it’s because the wind is jealous and wishes it could wear one, too. Once you pick up speed on the descent the wind will grab a hold of the brim and take the hat right off the top of your head. One suggestion, if you are wearing it while spring ski touring, make sure you have a helmet on top for the downhill. It was designed for the running crowd but don’t let that stop you from wearing it all over town, under your climbing helmet or while ski touring. It’s light, airy, blocks the sun and looks good to boot. I used to hate wearing hats on the trail but the Duckbill Cap changed all that. The Patagonia Duckbill Cap is just that piece of gear. There’s always that one piece of gear that you don’t expect to make a huge difference, but then it does.
