Korda Camo Snapback Cap
The Korda Camo Snapback Cap mixes traditional designs with a contemporary fit in order to create a hat that will appeal to modern and old-school anglers alike. This cap boasts the classic snapback fit, a style which will be more than familiar to the contemporary angler and one that is seen on the shelves of TopMan, H&M, and other such brands. The snapback is characterised by a high and broad crown and similarly broad and flat peak. It is most often worn high on the head, too, which further emphasises its height. Often seen as a fashion statement, the snapback is actually highly practical, too, and boasts a range of benefits which make it ideal for bankside use.
Firstly, the broad peak on the cap provides a huge amount of shade for your face, which significantly reduces your risk of burns or headaches caused by extended exposure to bright sunlight – even if you forget to put on sunscreen first thing in the morning. However, this isn’t the only benefit of a shaded face. It also shields your eyes from the worst of the sunlight, as well as from bright skies on cloudy or overcast days. Squinting out into the water does not only damage your eyes but it can also cause serious headaches. When you’re focussing on the bobbing of your float or the twitching of your bite indicator, the last thing you want is to be distracted by a pain in your head. This is why a top quality peaked cap is an essential addition to your angling wardrobe – whether it’s the height of summer or simply a bright autumn evening.
Secondly, the high crown of the hat allows a good amount of airflow around the scalp. This is especially vital when you’re fishing abroad, as many European watersides are significantly hotter and muggier than those in the UK. Sweat beading on your scalp and running down your neck and face is unpleasant for everyone, so having adequate air ventilation around your head whilst also staying sheltered from the worst of the sun is vital. What’s more, the hat also features the traditional pin-hole ventilation in the side and rear panels – ensuring that you can enjoy maximum airflow in even the muggiest of conditions.
This Korda Cap is patterned in the classic camouflage style. Camouflage has been out of fashion in the carp fishing world for the past couple of seasons, with the favour leaning towards all black, olive, or khaki looks. This season signals the return of camouflage fashion, with this Camo Snapback being just one of the many camouflage products that are re-emerging onto the angling scene. However, the camouflage on this cap is somewhat different to the classic camouflage style. Keeping in trend with the modern fit of the hat, the Korda Camo Snapback features ‘urban camo’. This is a slightly more colour intensive form of the classic sun faded camouflage and it is the ideal way of modernising your existing camouflage look.
The Korda Camo Snapback Cap is available in one size and is fitted with the traditional adjuster from which the snapback gets its name in order to ensure that you can achieve the perfect fit no matter your head size. Pair this cap with a set of sunglasses to complete your summer angling look – both on an off the bank. Korda is a brand which is famous for combining angling style with on-bank practicality and this Camo Snapback is ideal for carp anglers around the globe.
