Trax Hat is the perfect hat for all bicycle and motorcycle lovers.
I designed this hat for my husband, who loves racing BMX.
The black and red Trax Hat is for me to go with my Vans, my BMX helmet and my new Standard BMX bike.

The hat includes a long double hem for extra warmth.
The hat comes in 3 different sizes, which will accommodate almost everybody.
