Foldable Trail Hat
3 reviewsThe perfect Hiker Trash essential, the Foldable Trail Hat features an embroidered Zpacks crest sewn onto a relaxed unstructured crown with a soft flexible visor. The visor floats and is great for blocking the sun or propping up rain hoods and can be folded/flattened and stuffed in your pack when not in use.
Constructed from ultralight quick drying nylon and featuring a breathable wide-set nylon mesh and an adjustable nylon woven strap in the back, the Foldable Trail hat is a great choice for warm days on trail or kayaking trips on the river.

Hats ugh
After being forced to wear a cover (hat) in the Navy I actually enjoy wearing this hat. Can’t wait to use on the AT


It's ok.
Not sure if Zpacks sews them up or not though it might be slightly on the small size. Quality if good though overall and I don't see any issues with the sewing. The only issue I have with it is if you're a bend the bill type of person then you'll get a couple giant wrinkles under the bill when you do so. No half stars otherwise I'd do 3.5, not really worth a 4 or 5 star. I love Zpacks' tents and have/had a couple over the years , their a clothing is just ok (had a Vertice and Ventum).

This is IT!!!
This is THE HAT! I’m sure like most of you, you’ve tried every hat you can think of and that’s why you are here researching this one. Does it look cool, hide my gross hair, dry quickly, does it get in the way of my sunglasses, can I jam it in my pack and have it look normal when I want to wear it? It hard to find one that ticks all of the boxes. This hat does. Do yourself a favor and buy all of the colors, you’re going to want them all. Great job Zpacks!

When I tried on the prototype of this jacket at Trail Days in Damascus earlier this year, I knew I’d be getting one! I think my search for the perfect backpacking jacket is finally over! Bonus that it matches my Zpacks full zip sleeping bag! Zpacks does not disappoint. Just get one.

Zpacks Ventum Wind Shell - Men's
Amazingly light but cuts the wind and holds the heat in with a layer underneath!
– Joe B., ★★★★★
Choosing the right layer for crisp spring mornings and chilly fall nights can be a challenge. Our Men's Ventum Shell is crafted to cut the breeze and trap warmth in your base layer or against your skin.
Ventum fabric strikes the right balance between cutting cold wind while still allowing enough breathability for sweat to escape when hiking on chilly mornings and evenings. Ventum fabric tests at 39.5 CFM under ASTM D-737.
It’s perfect for when a base layer alone is not enough, but insulation would make you overheat. Weighing under 2 ounces this is a must-have item for when you plan to hike in cool weather.
If you don't see your size, we also have some sizes available at a discount in our Bargain Bin while supplies last.

Vertice Rain Kilt
The kilt packs down to nothing and very very light weight. Far better than carrying rain trousers at 5 times plus for weight. The kilt is very easy to use quickly and no need to take boots off. A great idea that keeps you dry with good quality materials and finish. Arrived quickly when ordered.
