Why Hemp Hats Are the Best for Summer
Ever wondered why most Summer hats seem to make you feel hotter?
Read on to learn why the best fibre to make Summer hats from is the hemp plant.
Summer hats are supposed to help with the heat.
Most don’t.
They trap warmth, make you sweat more, and end up coming off after ten minutes. Which defeats the whole point.
If you’ve ever wondered why some hats feel unbearable in summer while others disappear on your head — it comes down to the material.
And hemp quietly does this better than almost anything else.
The problem with most summer hats
Many hats sold as summer-friendly are made from:
- Synthetic fibres that don’t breathe
- Tightly woven fabrics that trap heat
- Heavy materials that sit hot on your scalp
They look fine.
They feel awful in real heat.
Once your head overheats, your body does too. That’s why a bad hat can actually make summer feel worse.
Hemp is naturally breathable
Hemp fibres are hollow and porous by nature.
That means:
- Air moves through the fabric instead of getting trapped
- Heat escapes instead of building up
- Moisture doesn’t sit against your skin
You don’t need mesh panels or ventilation holes.
The fibre does the work on its own.
Hemp helps regulate temperature, not just block the sun
Most people think hats only protect from sunlight.
But the real comfort difference comes from temperature regulation.
Hemp:
- Stays cool to the touch
- Doesn’t cling when you sweat
- Dries quickly compared to cotton
- Feels lighter the longer you wear it
Instead of trapping heat, it helps release it.
That’s the difference between enduring summer and actually enjoying it.
Hemp is one of the most sustainable fibres available
Cooling is only half the story.
Hemp is also one of the most environmentally responsible fibres you can choose.
Here’s why:
- Requires far less water than cotton
- Grows quickly without heavy chemical inputs
- Naturally pest-resistant
- Improves soil health instead of depleting it
- Produces a strong, long-lasting fibre
That means fewer resources, less waste, and a product designed to last multiple summers — not one season.

The best summer hat isn’t the one that looks the coolest – it’s the one that keeps you cool.
Hemp does that naturally — through breathability, airflow, and lightweight comfort — while also being one of the most sustainable fibres available.
Once you wear a hemp hat in real summer heat, it’s hard to go back.
Until next time,
