Not everyone's face shape fits the classic high trucker crown – some of us just end up looking like we've borrowed our dad's ‘holiday’ hat. Enter the LoPro version: same mesh-back breathability, same recycled materials (recycled NetPlus brim from old fishing nets, organic cotton front, recycled polyester mesh), but with a lower, closer-fitting crown that gives you more of a traditional ball-cap fit. It's the answer if standard truckers make you look twelve years old or if you just prefer something that sits a bit more snugly on your head. Still got the six-panel construction, still got the adjustable snapback, still got that Patagonia logo doing its outdoorsy thing on the front.
Patagonia is the brand that other gear companies want to be when they grow up. In 2022, the company's founder, Yvon Chouinard, famously gave the company to the planet. It’s now jointly controlled by a charitable trust and a not-for-profit dedicated to fighting the climate crisis, and all post-operating profits go to environmental causes.
But in some ways that’s the tip of the (melting) iceberg. For nearly half a century, Patagonia has been an experiment in responsible business. From the farms that grow their cotton to the factories that make their goods and everything in-between, they’ve tried incredibly hard to set the gold standard in terms of ethics, transparency and social responsibility. Not only that, but their gear is made to last – to take hard use and repairs, and to maintain its performance through thick and thin.
All of which is even more extraordinary when you consider that Yvon Chouinard started out blacksmithing climbing gear for his mates in his parents' backyard, using a forge and anvil that he bought from a junkyard.
At WildBounds we don’t usually tend to go for the big-name brands, but this was one we simply couldn’t resist. Quite apart from their amazing ethical and environmental credentials, they just make great gear. We’ve used it and loved it for years, and you will too.
