What is the best men's hat for summer exploring?

Hats are worn for a variety of reasons, and while style and looks are important for some people, for others functionality comes first.

What is the warmest men's scarf?

Most scarves will provide some form of warmth, simply because they are covering the neck region that is normally exposed.

It is also breathable and moisture-wicking, so you won't feel stuffy or damp when you're on the move.
