Apart from the materials and build quality of this cap, there are two reasons why you would want the Wear Kraken Snapback over, say, a baseball cap. One is comfort. A trucker cap is a mesh cap from all sides but the front, as opposed to the closed fabric shell of other ball caps. For tropical or warm environments the ventilation of a trucker cap mesh will be more comfortable. The other reason is style. The camouflage design can help hide you in a jungle but it can also help you be seen everywhere else. The Wear Kraken Camo Snapback Trucker is a five panel cap.
