Grey Newsboy Cap UPF50+ vs Argo 8-Panel Newsboy Cap

Buy the Argo 8 Panel if you want a warm, structured wool-blend cap for cold weather and a fit you can fine-tune with its hidden Velcro ribbon. Buy the grey cotton-blend octagonal cap if you need sun protection in spring and summer and prefer a lighter, packable hat. The Argo is the better-made hat overall: hand-woven, satin-lined, with a sewn-in sweatband, and its 24 ratings average 5 out of 5. The cotton cap is the more versatile warm-weather pick, but it has no lining and no stated UV rating.

• Choose the grey octagonal cotton-blend cap if you want a light hat for spring through autumn with a wider brim and an adjustable 54–59 cm fit.
• Choose the Argo 8 Panel if you want a warm, hand-woven wool-blend newsboy with a satin lining and sweatband for winter.
