I chose a Go Hat with my Alma Mater on it - Central Michigan University. I already have this type of hat and these are awesome for training in warm weather and running races. I'll probably save this one primarily for races.
The second hat I chose was the Classic in Red. This is like a Du-rag for running. You can tie the back of the hat and fit it just like you you want it. It's also got a built in sweatband too. I actually use this and the shorty, which I have a couple of already, for training in the mornings. These are awesome to use during a dark morning run since you don't need a bill on the hat and it also makes it easier to see the light from your headlamp too.
The third hat I chose was the Summit beanie. It's a bit thicker around your ears to keep them warm and then it's very thin on the top. I originally thought this was for training in Winter. While you could use it part of the Winter, if it's pretty cold out, less than 30, I would recommend one of their other hats including the Thermal Reversible Beanie or the Alpine Reversible Beanie which have much more material to protect you from the elements. I think the name Summit got me thinking that it would be good for up in the mountains but it's better for temps from 30-40 in my opinion.
So that's the new hats I have for this coming season to train. I also just purchased an Alpine Reversible Beanie and a St. Patrick's Day Themed Thermal Reversible Beanie to get me through the rest of winter. For those of you not in Michigan, it's been crazy cold and snowy here this Winter!
Headsweats offers $5 flat shipping now so you can get a really great deal on their hats. They are super easy to clean - just throw it in the washing machine and set it out to dry. I've washed the two shorty beanies above at least 100 times each and they still look brand new!
Have a great day and....Keep Running!!!!
Note: I received the three hats as part of the ambassador program. All opinions are my own and I'm not required to provide anything other than an honest opinion.
