You Need a Hat! And You Need a Hat!

We’re channeling our inner Oprahs as we head into late fall. One of our favorite things is hats, those blessed portable porches that keep the rain off of our faces and our hair our of our eyes. Shopgirl Sarah has gone a little hat crazy this season. She can tell you about it:

I'm going to admit: I have such fun helping design the hats in the Mother Runner Store, sometimes I go gonzo, introducing more than maybe we should. At least this time, I diversified, making two designs of  three types of hats: trucker, running, beanies. (Plus a re-order of our popular BAMR visor!) 

I adore flowers! After seeing how beautiful our original flowered trucker hat turned out, I knew we had to design another one. The design inspiration I gave BoCo Gear (the company we work with to make all our hats) was a field of California poppies and lupine because they remind me of the exquisite hillsides I ran past when I lived in San Francisco about two decades ago. It was when I first took up trail running, and I would always stop in my tracks to marvel at the orange and purple flowers bobbing in the breeze amidst the tall grasses that grew up after winter rains.

We don’t just have truckers, though. Running hats are on our noggins, too.

SBS designed this beauty because she wanted a black hat spiked with her favorite color (blue) that proclaimed she's a mother runner. She proudly sported it in Twin Cities Marathon--and on pretty much every run since!

For those BAMRs who want something a little more subtle, the BAMR* takes one to know one hat is like a secret handshake, letting badass mother runner acknowledge each other at races or on runs. We love the regal purple color with accents of bright blue.

Last (but decidedly not least) we’ve got BoCo performance beanies! This black beanie is scattered with countless grey versions of our signature "mother" tattoo. Adding pops of color are an aqua stripe and the another mother runner logo printed on the front, outlined in royal blue.

On dark, chllly runs, you need a bright spot, so we boosted the colors in this performance knit running beanie. This pretty aqua-blue beanie boasts an oversized version of our shoe logo in bright pink. Encircling the hat is a pink stripe. On the front (or wherever it lands!) it reads "another mother runner" in pink on a white circle, outlined by teal green.

With all of these hats, we hope you found your favorite, too!
