This New Brand Designs Compact Origami-Inspired Hats

When it comes to collecting outdoor gear that reflects your style, options can be limited. You end up prioritizing things like performance and practicality over personal expression—that is, until a brand comes up with an innovative way to equally preserve form alongside function.

Parapack is a cottage headwear brand out of Pacifica, CA that balances both. Launched on Kickstarter in March 2023, the P-CAP ($40) weighs an ounce, uses flexible EVA-molded foam and fabrics made from recycled water bottles, and deploys a clever cord adjustment system (that reportedly took 30+ different sewn iterations to figure out) to fit most all head sizes. It comes in five colors: Jetblack, Redrock, Mustard, Matcha, and Sky Blue.
