Cyclical motion rules the natural world. The sun rises, the moon wanes. Tides ebb and leaves turn. Coal Headwear tips their cap to the flow of steetwear; some old styles never die, they’re simply reborn.
From Seattle’s fog-laden streets to the snow-capped peaks of Japan, Coal has been a staple of the stylish since 2002. While skate and snowboarding anchor the brand, Coal’s interpretation of classics know no bounds; the Spring and Summer collection spins classics with fresh attitude.
Considered Traveler: Round the World Shade
Coal Considered Traveler Hat
It’s all in the name. The Considered Traveler shields wayward sons from the UV rays of a wayward sun. No matter your continent of choice, choose the Considered Traveler’s cotton ripstop brim for a wide swathe of shade. Active Junky tested the CT on Front Range fishing expeditions and mellow hikes. Though the hat harkens back to simpler times, lightweight ripstop and a moisture-wicking sweatband added worthwhile tech.
Best For: Beach vibes, car camping and fishing trips

From multi-day trips on the trail to multi-day music festivals, Trek is poised to be Government Issue for the adventurous.
