Some of the top gear makers sell national parks apparel and products.
Melin Adventure Club Parks Collection ($79)
This summer, premium hat-maker Melin rolled out a line of eight ball caps honoring four of California’s national parks: Redwoods, Joshua Tree, Big Sur, and Yosemite. The park name appears on the cap’s understated label, and the interior features a colorful graphic representing an iconic park scene—like Joshua Tree’s namesake yuccas and Redwoods’ towering trunks. The materials and construction also outperform your basic trucker: the visor’s perforated foam trims weight, ultralight fabrics (using recycled polyester and nylon) dry super fast, and an antimicrobial finish on the sweatband foils stink over weeks between washings.
