  • The main purpose of the Hikers Hat is its cooling properties; therefore, Tilley have designed an evaporative cooling insert, powered by HyperKewl™, which assists in the relief of heat stress during treks. This heat management is furthered by a mesh incorporated crown to allow maximum cooling and comfort. When not in use, a rear brim loop allows you to clip the hat securely in place, preventing it from getting in your way. Other important features include the highest level of UPF 50+ sun protection and a water repellent coating, bringing versatility to this hiking necessity. For Sizing information, please refer to images. Care: Remove HyperKewl™ insert before washing hat. Machine wash hat in cool water, delicate cycle or hand wash; Reshape & air-dry.  How to use your HyperKewl™ Evaporative Insert: Soak the insert in cold water for up to 5 minutes – insert into the Hat. The airflow through the mesh panel will start the evaporative cooling process. The cooling insert is expected to provide temperatures that are approx. 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than ambient temperature depending on airflow. It will not feel like an air-conditionner on your head – it will super charge the natural evaporation process to help you feel comfortable on the trail. High humidity will diminish the fabric’s ability to evaporate water.

As with many cyclists, be it mountain bikers, BMX riders or road cyclists we want to take the time to make sure we get the best products. Where cycling is a passion for many we often invest a lot of our time and money into the hobby. And as we know, getting the right products can give us that small competitive advantage either over our actual competitors, our mates or even just beating our own goals. But because we do invest so much in our bikes and our equipment it’s really important to buy from recognised retailers, in our most recent search, we found many products available online for ridiculously (almost laughable) prices. They were just so low that alarm bells should instantly be ringing. That’s why we only recommend buying from the retailers that you really know and trust, names like Wiggle, Chain Reaction and Evans Cycles are just some of those that we use regularly. With these retailers you know you’re in safe hands and can expect great service, great returns policies and if anything was to go wrong great customer service under a warranty claim.

But onto the reason you’re here today, let’s delve into some of the details of Tilley Hikers Hat to help you understand a bit more about where it sits in the market against some of the many alternatives that are available out there. We’re very aware that by buying our cycling stuff online that we’ve missed out on the opportunity to actually see and test the product first. This is where reviews come in to their own, as it gives us that chance to hear from other like-minded cyclists about how good or bad a product is.

As you would expect, our first and top piece of advice before buying, is to read lots and lots of Tilley Hikers Hat reviews. With a review score of 9.8 out of 10 it’s likely that there will be lots of great detailed reviews to help you. And if you find that actually the reviews are suggesting Tilley Hikers Hat isn’t right for you then there will be tons and tons of other reviews for other products in the Sun Hats category. In fact we’ve got 11 products reviewed in this category alone.

Something that makes it particularly challenging is the vast range of choice, as mentioned above there are 11 products in the Sun Hats category. There are also 8 products from the brand Tilley. And then getting into the specifics even more there are 8 products from Tilley in the category “Sun Hats”.

So let’s take a look at the second most important decision making tool we can use when shopping online, price. Whether your goal is to just get the cheapest Sun Hats available, or to get the best quality at a reasonable price, there’s always going to be a need to do your research on price.

Tilley Hikers Hat price analysis

The first thing we do when looking at the price of any cycling equipment, be it the bike itself, or one of the many parts that make up a bike or even some of the clothing and accessories that go with it, is to run some price analysis to see who is selling it at the best price. (Note that as we pointed out earlier we will only look at retailers that we really trust and use regularly). The best price that we managed to find Tilley Hikers Hat was from Wiggle Online Cycle Shop at just £64.

It’s then good to dig somewhat deeper into the price of the product by looking at average prices.
