Our take · Researched, not tested

Black felt you can crush into a duffel and still wear to dinner.

By Margo Lane, straw and sun hats desk Pen name, fact-checked by our team

A travel hat should survive a suitcase, and the Zion is crushable wool felt listed as packable. It's black, with an outback crown 4 1/4 in tall and a 3 in brim, trimmed with a leather band. An adjustable Velcro sweatband settles the fit, and sizes run SM to XL. Felt is the cooler-weather pick, so think autumn road trips, mountain towns and evening walks. Imported.

Margo's tip: After it rides in a bag, pop the crown back out and let it rest on its crown overnight.

Questions

How should it fit?

Level on your head, about a finger above your eyebrows, clearing the tops of your ears. Sizes in stock run SM to XL. SM fits heads 21 to 21 7/8 in (54 to 55 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, size up and add an insert.

Is the Zion UPF rated?

The listing doesn't state a UPF rating, so don't assume one. The 3 inch brim still gives real shade. Hold it up to a bright light: if light shows through, so does UV.

Can you pack the Zion?

Yes. The store lists it as packable or crushable. Pack it crown down at the top of your bag with the crown stuffed with socks, then reshape the brim with your hands when you arrive.

How do you clean the Zion?

Brush felt with a soft hat brush, counterclockwise, and lift lint with a barely damp cloth or a lint roller. Keep it away from heat, which can shrink felt, and store it on its crown so the brim keeps its shape.

Can you return it?

Per American Hat Makers, as stated on their site Nov 6, 2026, it offers 90-day easy returns. Policies change, so confirm on the store's page before you order.
