Alpine Start 5-Panel Hat

Inspired by early alpine starts and long days that begin before sunrise, the Alpine Start 5-Panel delivers lightweight performance in a clean, low-profile design. This brand-new colorway updates Gritty Habits’ best-selling Bluebird Day hat with a fresh look built for missions fueled by coffee, grit, and changing conditions. Constructed from breathable, water-resistant performance polyester, the Alpine Start 5-Panel is designed to move easily from trailhead to summit and everywhere in between. Its unstructured, packable design folds down small enough to stash in a jacket or backpack pocket, while a moisture-wicking sweatband helps maintain comfort when the pace picks up. Finished with thoughtful details like a woven merrowed-edge patch, back embroidery, and embroidered side-panel eyelets, this hat blends functional performance with everyday style. An adjustable snap closure provides a secure, dialed fit, making it a go-to piece for early starts, long days, and everything in between.
