Vaga says:
Introducing the VÅGA Padder Hiker Cap. A true labour of love, we’re proud of this cap. Built with a slower pace of performance in mind, the Padder Hiker is built for those long days out on the fellside. No stone was left unturned in the creation of this piece. Whether you want ears covered or a bit of exposure to keep cool, the Padded Hiker has plenty of built-in tricks. We also made one in a fully reflective fabric. Obviously.
Crafted to handle sub-zero temperatures, with its synthetic insulation and fleece lined ear flaps, the Padded Hiker is the ultimate companion for the cooler months. Structurally designed for the great outdoors, stylistically curated for any surrounding. As the name suggests, hiking is this cap's true calling. Whether it’s Great Gable in December or just a brisk morning dog walk, the Padded Hiker Cap is built to protect.
Our Verdict
The VAGA Padded Hiker Cap is a lined and insulated winter cap built around synthetic quilting, taped seams and fleece ear flaps. I found it warm in cold, breezy conditions, and the padded headband wicks sweat well during steady uphill work. The short peak shields rain without affecting vision, and the closure adjusts easily for a secure fit.
At 82 g for Small/Medium and 87 g for Medium/Large, it remains easy to stow when not needed. The fabric has a water-resistant finish that holds up well in damp weather, and the insulation maintains warmth without feeling bulky. Construction feels solid, and the shape has stayed consistent after repeated packing. For winter hiking where warmth and simple protection are priorities, it does the job well.
