Congratulations to Tenth Street travel hat winner, Jennifer Herman!
traeoinsSome travelers wear a travel hat to create a look, others to protect themselves against the elements (e.g., harmful UV rays, rain or snow) or to cover up an unsightly “do” on a bad hair day.
When traveling with a group or visiting a public market, wearing a travel hat can also make it easier for your companions to spot you in a crowd.

Choosing the perfect travel hat
When choosing a travel hat, these are some criteria to consider:
1) Is it packable?
You’ll want a hat that is lightweight and that won’t get crushed or suffer ill effects when it’s stuffed in a suitcase or carryon bag. (More than 100 hats in the Tenth Street catalog are crushable.)
2) Is it stylish?
A stylish hat can add a bit of panache to any outfit (and Instagram photo!). You’ll want to choose a hat with a look that complements your personality and feels like it’s all your own.
3) Is it of high quality?
Once you fall in love with any piece of apparel or a travel accessory, you want it to be of high quality and to last you for the long haul.
