Finntrail · Head and neck protection
Which hat or neck gaiter should you take on a hike?
Finntrail head and neck protection for hiking and leisure means hats, a neck gaiter and a balaclava that protect against wind, moisture and sun when you walk in the forest or by the sea. The light WATERPROOFHAT 9711 is made for a windy autumn walk, and HAT WATERPROOF 9714 with a membrane and fleece for a cold, wet winter day. Most people do well with one hat and the TUBE 9800 neck gaiter.
How to choose, who it is not for, and FAQ
Who it is for
- •A walk on a windy autumn day: WATERPROOFHAT 9711, made of a stretchy material, hugs your head and keeps the wind out.
- •A winter hike through sleet: HAT WATERPROOF 9714 has a HARD-TEX® membrane and a fleece lining.
- •Summer hikes and travel: the TUBE 9800 neck gaiter with UPF 50 covers your neck from the sun and turns into a thin hat on a cool evening.
- •Hard frost and wind in your face: the RAVEN 9725 balaclava keeps your face, neck and chest warm. It is cut to be worn under a helmet.
How to choose
Think about the weather you walk in most often. For dry wind a stretchy hat is enough, rain and sleet call for a membrane, and for sun and a cool evening a thin gaiter works well.

Frequently asked questions
Which hat suits a winter hike through sleet?
HAT WATERPROOF 9714. The HARD-TEX membrane keeps out moisture and wind, the fleece lining keeps you warm, and the fabric lets sweat evaporate, so your head does not get chilled by damp on a long walk.
Is the TUBE neck gaiter suitable for summer?
Yes. TUBE 9800 has UPF 50, so on a sunny hike it covers your neck or face, and on a cool evening at camp you pull it on as a thin hat. The gaiter is one size.
What is the difference between WATERPROOFHAT 9711 and HAT WATERPROOF 9714?
WATERPROOFHAT 9711 is a light stretchy hat for a cool, windy day. HAT WATERPROOF 9714 has a HARD-TEX membrane and a fleece lining, so it is made for cold, wet weather when it rains or snows.
Is the RAVEN balaclava suitable for walking?
Usually not: RAVEN 9725 is made to be worn under a snowmobile helmet, and its neoprene deflector directs exhaled air downwards. For a walk in hard frost a hat combined with a neck gaiter is more comfortable.
