Crushable Hats For Travelling
The Next Traveller and the Ultimate Traveller are crafted from a softer, crushable felt body, made to be packed into a suitcase, a backpack or a carry-on. Both carry a 90mm brim and ventilation eyelets for airflow in warmer country. Reshape the brim by hand after unpacking; like any crushable hat it may not return perfectly flat, which only adds to the lived-in character. The original Traveller remains unchanged.
Customise Your Travel Hat With Pins And Feathers
No two journeys are the same, so no two Travellers need to be. Pin your home state to the band or add a feather for a finishing touch that's yours alone. Browse our hat pins and feathers and bring your own unique style on the road.
Akubra Traveller Common Questions (FAQs):
What is the best Akubra hat for travelling?
It depends how far you're going. The Next Traveller is the all-rounder for weekends away and road trips. The Ultimate Traveller adds the chin strap for rough tracks and remote adventures. The Original Traveller remains the classic packable hat everyone knows and loves.
How should I pack a crushable hat?
Pack it, but don't leave it crushed. Reshape the brim by hand as soon as you unpack, and avoid storing it in a crushed position for long periods. See our hat care guide.
What's the difference between the Traveller, Next Traveller and Ultimate Traveller?
The Original Traveller has a pliable felt body and a 76mm brim. The Next Traveller moves to a softer, crushable felt with a 90mm brim and ventilation eyelets. The Ultimate shares that crushable body and adds a built-in woven leather chin strap with brass toggle.
