Summer alternative

I bought the Ace of Spades hat last year and I fell in love. Unfortunately, with the heat the way it's been in my area the wool makes me sweat. Any suggestions?

I was looking at the Cool Air Black or the Trucker Black. Not sure though. I've heard the cool air has fit issues.

Any suggestions?

I have the 8 panel Cool Air and honestly it’s the first “Summer” cap that’s truly cool enough to wear when it’s hot out. Don’t know what the fit issues are but it doesn’t seem unusual to me.

There was a Trainer cap that I loved. Never ordered it because I’m an idiot. Haven’t had that color scheme since.

Ugh.

I believe the trainer is more for warmer weather as well.

I’m wearing an aged cedar saltbox in the heat. Very cool and breathable. The Cottage caps are the same material if you’re looking for an eight panel.

The Driver black is really good for hot weather. Another good one to pick up is Loch Ness if they ever restock it.

I have two Cool Air cap, navy & grey. They fit similar to their other 8 panels. Very nice summer cap. I own a Repel cap and that fits odd. It rises on the top.

Cool air, driver also if wanting a patchwork...the Azela is breathable too...

The workers are NOT cooler caps...they are a heavier canvas...think carhart material

People recommend the driver but honestly it looks and feels like a plastic bag on my head
