Gloves & Hats

"I've never found a travel item more useful—it keeps my ears warm on a chilly sunrise safari drive, it works great as a lightweight neck gaiter, and I can use it as a bandana to block dust. So what if my grandmother would call it 'schmatta'!" So says our founder and president, Ben Bressler. We recommend this item!

These sun and wind shields are not medical devices and have not been shown to prevent the spread of COVID-19. While they may serve as a reminder not to touch your face, they are designed to protect against sun, wind and dust, not viruses.

Our standard issue Nat Hab Guide Cap is the essential piece of gear for our worldwide guiding corps. It's just an adjustable cotton cap, but our naturalists, scientists and field staff collect these and wear them habitually, washing them (we hope, at least occasionally) and wearing them until they are but mere threads and a brim upon their fact-filled noggins. It's a Nat Hab classic!

Like the Nat Hab fleece beanie, this neck gaiter is soft and cozy…and made from 100% recycled material! Our Boulder, Colorado-based staff wear them skiing on our annual company Winterfest (our version of Octoberfest in the snow) and our guests bring them on our polar journeys, from Greenland to Antarctica.

The Meteor Mitts by Outdoor Research will take you anywhere, whether you just need a little protection from the wind or serious insulation from sub-zero storms. With a waterproof outer shell, wrist gaiters and a removable thick fleece inner layer, these are as warm as any mittens out there but versatile enough to use on a crisp fall morning. Our Founder and President, Ben, swears by “these bad boys!” He wears them in Churchill while watching polar bears and, when back in Boulder, he removes the fleece liners to bike to work on the colder mornings. (Though admittedly, when it’s really cold he drives—he’s not as tough as he used to be.)

The photography opportunities in polar regions are unrivaled, but working your camera when the weather goes bad isn’t always easy. Enter the Gore-Tex/Fleece Flexi Glove by Outdoor Research featuring a waterproof, windproof outer shell and a cozy fleece inner lining. The elongated gaiters cover your lower arms for warmth and protection from the snow, and when you are ready to use your camera, wrist-hold loops allow the shells to dangle on your arms while you snap away wearing just the liners. It's tough to beat the versatility of this glove!
