Utah’s landscape isn’t just stunning—it’s demanding. From the red rock cliffs of Zion to the alpine ridgelines of the Wasatch, the Beehive State is a playground for outdoor adventurers. But when you're logging miles, summiting peaks, or even grabbing coffee in Park City, you need gear that can keep up—without sacrificing style.
That’s where mountain hats from Outer Wings come in.
We design hats for guys who want clean design, subtle style, and real durability. Our leather patch hats are hand-sewn, thoughtfully designed, and ready to go wherever Utah takes you.
Built for Utah’s Toughest Elements
The terrain in Utah is rugged. It’s high-elevation sun exposure, rapid weather shifts, and trails that test your gear. Here’s why leather patch mountain hats are the ideal companion:
Sun Protection That Doesn’t Quit
- Pre-curved and flat bill options give you full face coverage
- Richardson hats like the 112 and 256 offer structure that holds up hike after hike
- Many of our hats include UPF 50+ protection to guard against harsh UV rays
Breathable + Lightweight
- Mesh backs on styles like the 115 and 112 keep you cool in dry desert heat
- Options like the 935 are fully water-resistant and collapsible—perfect for your daypack
Durable Design
- We use real, veg-tanned leather for every patch—stitched, not glued
- Hats are crafted for sweat, sun, and miles on trail
Whether you're climbing at Moab or camping in Bryce Canyon, these eco-friendly outdoor hats can take the abuse and still look clean.

- Feature laser-engraved patch art that speaks to your lifestyle
