12wt
Cornerstone Trucker Cap
$32 | 12wt.com
Our editor sings the praises of the Cornerstone Trucker Hat from 12wt. What looks like a classic trucker hat is actually one of your most important pieces of gear. The cap is deep, meaning it’ll stay put in a windstorm, with a low-profile, micro-adjustable clasp in the back. It also features a moisture-wicking headband and optic black felt under the brim to absorb glare even from below.
