Tester Verdict
Sara Previte
“This hat is very comfortable and extremely trendy; Autumn hit the mark with their designs year after year. This quite basic hat is given a coolness with the alternating weave of colors so you get a red hat with a pop of another color in the knit.”
Tester Verdict
Kevin Frank
“Autumn makes the best touques, full stop. Great fit, exceptional build quality and material use, and classic and stylish colours! Not too much tech involved here; just a great hat. This specific model may be a bit thick to rock under a helmet though, if that’s your thing.”

The Coal Vista Clava goes for that Minions style, with one big eye-hole surrounded by a merrowed border. It’s comfy, and doesn’t reduce your visibility. Meanwhile the rest of your face stays toasty warm.

Pat Nichols
“This is the best thing I’ve ever put on my head. Super comfortable, without feeling constricting like some ballies. The fit is spot on and it’s so fucking cool. It has stylish street cred without looking like you’re about to batter someone’s grandma and steal her purse. I love it.”

Coal The Mission Hat 2025-2026
PRICE: $55.95
NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: No
Why we chose the Coal The Mission Hat:
Somewhere betwixt the beanie and the cap lies the Mission. It’s an unconventional look, but will prove a useful ally in the right circumstances.
Who is the Coal The Mission Hat for?
Those who like a springtime corn harvest in the backcountry will appreciate this one’s sun-blocking attributes, as well as its versatility (flaps on, flaps off!).
Tech Talk
Materials, construction and features
The Coal Mission hat is largely made of a synthetic fleece material that’s more than capable of keeping you warm all year round. Popping the earflaps down on particularly chilly days is a piece of cake, too.
Tester Verdict
Pat Nichols
“Super comfortable and practical cap for touring, or sunny-but-cold days. The ear flaps came down enough to provide warmth without being fully covered beanie-style.
The peak is unstructured, and therefore great for touring and stuffing in a pocket or bag. Highly recommend!”
