What Hats Do I Need to Climb Kilimanjaro? (Bring These Required Items)

Hats perform two basic functions on Mount Kilimanjaro. One, it acts as a shield against the sun. And two, it insulates your head to keep it warm.
You'll need two hats for Kilimanjaro - one for each of these occasions, as well as a neck gaiter to cover your nose and mouth. These three headwear pieces are required gear items.
In this video, I’ll look at the different options available and discuss what I think are the best choices for climbing Kilimanjaro.
Remember that the weather on Kilimanjaro can be a big challenge. If you don’t have the right headwear, you may be dealing with sunburn, windburn, and even frostbite and hypothermia. And yes, people do fail to summit on Kilimanjaro because of these reasons.
So when selecting your hats, ask yourself, “Will these items protect me from the strong sun and blistering cold?” If your answer is no, find something that does.
