Customer Reviews
My New Favorite Hat
...I love the look, the sizing, and the weight. The fabric is lighter than expected. The true test of any hat is the wear in the middle of a hot summer after a long day sweating outside... Overall, I’m very pleased with my purchase and thankful to have used a code for a small discount. The customer service communication was excellent... I hope they will release a navy and more darker colors... In summary, I’m a fan and am excited to watch GETAWAY add more colors and options to their offerings and continue providing an excellent product with their already excellent customer service. For comparison my favorite trucker hat before this one is Sunday Afternoons trucker.
Best hats ever
I own two of the Getaway hats, and they really are the best ones I've owned. As you can see, I'm old enough to have worn a lot of hats and I'm sincere when I say they are the best I've had. I love that the Bali hat fits so comfortably. It's nice that the cord is easily detached for when it's not so windy. I can wad this hat up wet and when it dries, it looks exactly the same. It's easy to stuff in a pocket and pull it out later and have it still hold it's shape. You need this hat.
Instant favorite hat!
My hat showed up yesterday. 100% worth the wait. I'm a 47 year old lesbian. I don't know if you know what kind of hat connoisseurs my people are, but it's second only to flannel shirts. Anyway this hat is fantastic. Comfy AF straight out of the box. Only took it off to sleep. I'm already browsing for a backup in case anything happens to this one. Worth every penny. -Amy
My new favorite hat
I'm a picky hat guy with a big head. It's hard to find a hat that looks good, feels good and isn't a pain to take care of. First impression when I put it on: headband feels reaaal nice. Dare I say, luxurious? The material of the hat itself is flexible yet holds it's shape, and it's held up nicely overtime. This is a hat that will end up in your regular rotation and last a long time. Pro tip: get two in different colors to make coordinating outfits super easy. Or so you actually have one to wear after your girlfriend "borrows" yours.
Travel hat you’ll actually wear outside of travel.
TLDR the title: bought this hat to replace another brand’s travel hat (elastic head band stretched out and made the fit worse). Never really liked that hat to begin with because it felt and looked floppy for my head shape - but having a hat while traveling is a must for me being bald so I was glad be be able to pack something. What sets this hat apart from all other ‘travel’ hats is that it’s semi structured. This is huge for me. It actually looks like a regular ball cap and I can fold it up or lay it flat in a bag. Best of all it looks and feels good enough to wear it on a regular basis so it doesn’t feel like a compromise when I travel. I reach for this hat more than I thought I would - so glad that I got it and love the versatility. The mesh panels would keep you cool on a hot day, but I wish there was an option for solid all the way around for cooler climates like mine. The brim of this hat maintains a slight curve which is just my style.
Perfect Travel Hat
I got this hat for a 3 week trip to Italy. Packed it away for the first week of the trip (wedding stuff) and brought it out for backpacking through the Dolomites and the Amalfi coast the last two weeks. Held its shape great and was packed down super flat when it wasn’t needed. I also put it through a lot, and it does not show any signs of wear and does not smell. I’m impressed. Highly recommend.
BALI!
The Getaway bucket hits different. Top tier.
My search for the perfect travel/everyday hat is finally over!
I have been searching for years to find the perfect travel/everyday hat, and my search is finally over, thanks to the PLH 2.0 getaway hat. I wanted a hat that is easily packable, machine washable, and still retain its form, especially its brim. I've tried countless hats, but none have been able to deliver on every front like the PLH 2.0. In addition to being able to do all three above, the hat is also: * Lightweight * Has stretchy material that stretches just the right amount to fit my headshape perfectly * Extremely comfortable * No visible branding on the outside, giving a clean, minimal look * Great adjustable clip, with the attention to detail of being able to pack in the extra strap inside the hat, instead of it flapping around on the outside It took me close to 2 months to get the hat, but the wait was definitely worth it, and the handwritten note from Scott was a personal touch I really appreciated. Super happy with the purchase.

FAQs
What makes Getaway Hats different?
Our hats are designed for travel. They’re anti-crease, packable, sweat-stain resistant, anti-odor, and built to rebound back to shape after being stuffed in a backpack or luggage. We’ve refined them through multiple Kickstarter campaigns to solve every common complaint about hats.
Do Getaway Hats protect against the sun?
Yes. All of our hats are rated UPF 50, which means they block 98% of harmful UV rays. Whether you’re hiking, exploring a city, or lounging on the beach, your Getaway Hat has you covered with the highest level of sun protection built right into the fabric.
Do Getaway Hats really not crease?
Yes. Our proprietary panel and lightweight fabrics mean the hat won’t lose its shape, even if you sit on it, pack it flat, or cram it in your bag.
What sizes do the hats come in?
Most styles come in One Size Fits Most with an adjustable strap. Select styles also offer multiple sizes (check each product page for details).
Are your hats unisex?
Yes. Every style is designed to look great on anyone.
Do you make other products besides hats?
Right now, hats are our specialty. We’re exploring limited drops in travel apparel, but headwear is our core focus.
Where do you ship?
We ship worldwide from Philadelphia, PA.
Are they machine washable?
Yes. All Getaway Hats are machine washable, quick drying, and built to handle real adventures.
Machine wash cold, gentle cycle, and air dry. Do not bleach or tumble dry.
Where did the idea come from?
Getaway Hats was born out of frustration with hats that crease, stain, and don’t travel well. We launched on Kickstarter, where thousands of backers helped bring the first packable, travel-proof hats to life.
