Reviews

23 years

"I bought this hat 23 years ago - it's been through everything you can throw at a hat - Australian heat, Irish rain, any situation you can throw at it this hat has been through it and after all those years it has only just ripped. Unfortunately there are no facilities near me, who can work with leather hats so I'm being forced to buy a new one. If you want a good hardy hat that will take as much punishment as you - this is definitely the type of hat you should get. I just hope the new one is as good as the old."

A Fine Hat

"The hat arrived yesterday, and I have to say, I am quite pleased. It fit my long oval head true to size (using the size chart here.) The leather is plenty thick to stand up to solid use, and the stitching seems well done and solid. Right out of the box, I removed the band and deeply conditioned the hat, band, and sweatband with a high quality conditioner. Last night I wore it for about five and a half hours at an event and found it to be quite comfortable. The photo shows it today, moments after I returned inside from a rainstorm. What did surprise me about the hat is that the edge of the brim, and the inner seam at the top of the crown are finished with some sort of plastic, not leather. Looking at it, I believe that this is to help with the 'crushability' of the hat. It seems to provide some level of firm structure that might not be present without it. Particularly in the crown which just bounces right back after being squeezed. The best part of the hat is the leather sweatband (not really a band as it doesn't go all the way around, but it's placed where it is needed.) Most makers of this style of hat seem to either use elastic, which is very uncomfortable with long term wear, or some other fabric that won't stand the test of time. This BC hat is how it should be done. All in all, I'm very pleased with the purchase."

High quality and good looking

"I love this hat. It looks amazing and is very comfortable. I've had it for several years now and have put it through quite a beating... and it's still in perfect shape!"

— Zach J. (5/5)

Disappointed

"I have always liked the BacPac traveler. The leather is way thinner since my first. Secondly I’ve purchased the black one at least 7 times. Yet every time I’ve looked for the 50% discount for lost or stolen it’s been denied. They say what’s the order number. They can see I’ve ordered. They send one year purchase thank you messages. Sorry because I still love the hats but quality has dropped."

Hat, crushable, waterproof.

"Outstanding. Comfortable right out of the box. Wore it in the rain. Waterproof. Rolled it up. Back to original. Packed it. Back to original."

Bac Pac Hat: Quality leather, great build

"I purchased the Bac Pac in 2018. I think these were still being put together by Bill at the time? Did I buy a classic without knowing it? Would love to hear from the Conner peeps about that. It's top notch, fits like a glove, and stretches out quickly/easily if you follow their instructions on their Youtube channel. I travel a lot, so a smashable hat is key. Great work guys!"

— Bret K. (5/5)

One of the best hats

"One of the best hats I own!! On my second one due to loosing the first in the lake."

— Mike Z. (5/5)

What do you do when you find the best hat ever?

"You buy a second in another color. I first purchased the BC Hats Bac Pac Traveller Oily Australian Leather Hat in Brown. It was the best looking and best fitting hat I have ever worn in my 70 years. My excuse to buy another in black was I needed one to match my other "outfits" haha. The black one is just as amazing and exact same fit. A little tight at the first wearing but after that, it is a perfect fit to my head, and tight enough not to blow off in a wind. So happy, I display them in the entry to my home."

— Jack H. (5/5)

Although it's not as smooth

"Although it's not as smooth and shinny as the one in your picture, it's more like suede I love it, I'm just a bit disappointed. This is my third Conner hat and I love the style of all of them. Keith"

— Keith L. (5/5)

Tip Top

"No other way to put it. Was a gift to my older bald brother. We spending days working on on highway trucks . Not much space for a large brimmed hat. So , he’s getting maximum sun and rain protection from a perfectly sized hat to maneuver in and out of the confines of a heavy hauler . Do all that in style cause this hat has wicked good looks . I’m ordering one for myself ! Thank you for giving the world such good looking head protection Conner Hats !"
