Best Fishing Hats & Accessories
Outdoor Research Sun Bucket Hat
Offered in 7 colors and 4 sizes, there’s a bucket hat to suit everyone. With a 2.5-inch brim-width, we liked this hat better in the wind than most. It protects you from the sun without turning into a sail. Synthetic materials mean this hat dries quickly after the sprinkles pass, and weighing in at 2.3 ounces means the hat packs like a dream for those looking to save weight when packing gear.
Fishe Wear Rainbow Ridge 5 Panel Hat
Our tester loves Fishe Wear hats the most. This 5-panel, adjustable-fit hat represents an angler’s love for fishing. This really good-looking hat is one of the more unisex designs by Fishe Wear. Our tester’s only complaint is that her boyfriend commandeered it.
Arcade Atlas Performance Stretch Belt
This belt is designed to provide a custom fit up to 40” in length, with a low-profile, micro-adjustable buckle. A long version (up to 52”) is also available. The one we received has the Cowabunga-Ivy Green pattern on it. For active fishing, or just wearing around town, we find stretch belts to be the absolute most comfortable solution. Arcade makes good ones.
