A versatile, mid-crown five-panel hat designed for everyday wear, combining organic materials with a recycled brim for a lower environmental footprint.
The Patagonia Airfarer Cap is an unstructured, five-panel trucker-style hat built for breathability and comfort. The front panels and bill are crafted from 7.5-oz 100% organic cotton canvas, providing a soft, broken-in feel right from the first wear. To manage heat during high-output activities or warm days, the back crown features 3.2-oz 100% recycled polyester mesh for maximum airflow. A standout feature is the brim core, which is made from NetPlus® 100% recycled fishing nets, a fully traceable material that helps reduce ocean plastic pollution. With an adjustable snap closure and a lightweight 88g build, it serves as a durable, Fair Trade Certified™ staple for both trail and casual use.
