Motocross Hats
Ever try getting a kid who lives in motocross boots and dirt-crusted jeans to wear something generic? Good luck. When your kids are wired for wheelies and gravel rash, you need gear that gets them. We’re talking about stylish fits that can handle dust, drops, and the kind of energy that never sits still.

Bold Graphics 101: Bringing Art To The Starting Gate
Forget bland. The best motocross caps lead with wearable graphics that celebrate childhood. At Little Trouble, we build our kids’ hats with this spirit. You’ll find color-block explosions, retro checkerboards, and playful fonts that show off your kid’s fearless personality. It borrows nostalgia from the glory days of dusty dirt tracks and VHS tapes, mixing in a fresh blast of modern edge. Because when the graphics go this hard, throwing on one of our MX hats feels a little like firing up the mini-bike for one more lap.
Styles That Say Something
Looking for a hat that really hits? Our dirtbike hat delivers classic black-on-beige embroidery that pulls inspiration from classic moto style with just the right dose of kid-approved hype. Whether your kid’s been begging for their next two-wheeled upgrade or just vibing hard with the aesthetic, this 6-panel structured cap is the one they’ll reach for again and again.
Prefer a wild card? The Lover Boy hat is sure to melt hearts everywhere and become a household favorite. With a five-panel build, mesh backing, custom tape, and the cutest color combo around, this one’s built for charm and high-speed chases across the lawn.
And for a versatile everyday staple, the PUNK hat turns up the volume with 3D embroidery and a 5-panel structured fit. It pairs perfectly with our matching PUNK hoodie, but holds its own just fine with a pair of board shorts and a scraped knee.
Built For Dirt, Sweat, And Sunshine
Little Trouble hats are for kids who play hard and live life to the fullest. Our dirt bike hats are crafted from durable cotton-twill, a rugged yet breathable fabric that can handle whatever kids throw at it. These hats are meant to get dirty and still hold their shape, adventure after adventure.
If your child prefers a looser, more relaxed fit, we recommend the smiley face bucket hat for sunny afternoons, beach trips, and everything in between. Made from 100% organic cotton, it's fully reversible with “Smile Squad” embroidery on one side and fuzzy smiley face patches on the other that make you want to smile right back. Whether you choose the classic checkers/black, black/yellow, tan/tan, pink/tan, blue/tan, or red/tan combo, this bucket hat is all about good times, no matter how it’s flipped.
Kids’ Sizing And Growth Hacks For Long-Lasting Wear
If there’s one universal truth about kids, it's that they never seem to stop growing. A great motocross hat isn’t just about today’s fit; it’s about keeping up with tomorrow’s adventures, too. Here’s how to make sure your kid’s hats stay in rotation for as long as possible:
- Adjustability Is Everything: Adjustable hats are your go-to move for staying one step ahead of growth spurts. Every Little Trouble snapback is adjustable, so you can make the most of it before you need to size up.
- Size Up (A Little): Going slightly bigger than your child’s current size gives you extra mileage. Since all our hats are unisex, this gives you plenty of wiggle room for ponytails, messy buns, or super curly hair.
- Structured Fits = Longer Wear: Our dirt bike hats are built with structured panels, which means they hold their shape even when worn backwards, sideways, or however your kid’s feeling that day.
- Functional Materials: Our durable cotton twill, 3D embroidery, and bold prints can withstand sun, sweat, and repeated wear without losing their cool factor.
- Pass-It-Down Power: When a hat gets snug, it usually still has lots of life left. Little Trouble hats are the kind of pieces made to be shared, whether between siblings, cousins, or neighborhood dirt-bike rookies.
Around here, we don’t believe in one-summer-only gear. We believe in pieces that grow with your kid and keep the good times rolling. That’s why many of our hats come in three sizes: The circumference is 50cm for babies (0-2 year olds), 52cm for toddlers (2 to 5 year olds), and 56cm for youth (6+ year olds). Whether they’re three or six, there’s a fit that works and won’t hold them back. Let ‘em run wild. Your style’s already future-proofed.
Cleaning And Reviving A Motocross Hat (Without Wrecking It)
Motocross hats are built to get dirty with mud, sweat, grass stains, snacks, you name it. But even the most loved hat has a limit before it starts looking more grungy than cool. When that moment hits, here’s how to refresh it without ruining the fit or fading the graphics.
Snapbacks And Trucker Hats: Spot Clean Only
All Little Trouble snapbacks and trucker hats are meant to stay out of the washing machine. These structured styles are designed to hold their shape and graphic detail, which a spin cycle can mess with. Instead, follow these steps:
- Start With Dry Dirt: Gently tap the hat against a hard surface to knock off loose dust, dried mud, and grass bits. A soft brush or dry towel can also help.
- Inspect For Gunk: Check around the seams and sweatband for snack residue, sunscreen, or anything else that might have hitched a ride.
- Create A Gentle Cleaning Solution: Mix cool water with a drop of mild detergent (the kind you’d trust on your favorite cotton tee) in a small bowl. Avoid hot water, bleach, or any harsh chemicals.
- Spot Clean Only: Dip a soft cloth or soft-bristled toothbrush in the soapy mixture and gently work it into stained or grimy areas using small circles. No aggressive scrubbing is needed.
- Wipe And Rinse Carefully: Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away soap without soaking the whole hat.
- Air Dry In Shape: To dry, reshape the hat and set it on a towel or bowl to hold its structure. Leave it in a well-ventilated, shaded area. Direct sun could potentially fade the bold colors your kid loves.
For Other Hats
We also offer bucket hats made from 100% organic cotton and beanies crafted with a soft, stretchy ribbed knit. While these fabrics tend to be a little more forgiving, we suggest double-checking the tag before throwing them in the wash. To keep the shape intact and the colors vibrant, we highly recommend following the same spot-cleaning process above for all our kids’ hats.
A Hat That Earns Its Dirt (And Cleans Up Well)
These hats were made for messy adventures; a little dirt is part of the story. With the proper care, they can handle the aftermath and keep showing up for every puddle-jump, bike ride, and backyard faceplant. Clean it up, let it dry, and it’s back in action, just like your little one.
Packing Your Hat For Travel, Races, And Road Trips
Motocross hats aren’t just a style flex. They’re road trip MVPs, trackside regulars, and sun-blocking necessities. But tossing one into a backpack without thinking is a fast track to a flattened crown and bent brim. Here's how to keep your kid’s favorite hat looking fresh no matter where the weekend takes you.
Pack Smart: Crown Down, Stuffed, And Stacked
If you're packing for a race weekend or a quick road trip, don’t let your kid’s hat get squished at the bottom of the bag. Always pack hats near the top, crown-down, and stuff the inside with clean socks, soft tees, or even goggles to help them hold their shape. If you're bringing more than one (because let’s be real, it’s always great to have options), stack them brim-to-brim and secure them with a hoodie or towel to keep everything in place. Just make sure nothing heavy ends up on top to avoid compression. Structured styles like snapbacks can lose shape quickly if buried under shoes, snacks, or gear.
Let The Hat Ride Shotgun
Sometimes the best way to travel with a hat is to keep it in hand (literally). Hold it by the brim, tuck one into your carry-on, or have your kid wear it straight through the airport. On road trips, hats should ride on the seat next to them (or you), not on the floor where they’re bound to get kicked, squashed, or turned into an accidental snack tray. A little care goes a long way, because a well-packed hat arrives ready to go.
Frequently Asked Questions
Definitely! Motocross hats are made for movement and post-ride attitude, while still being light enough for everyday wear. Whether your kid is drawn to the graphics that feel straight out of a vintage magazine or the breathable cotton twill that can take a hit from mud, sun, or a rogue juice box, motocross hats are built to keep up with real-life action. At Little Trouble, our moto-inspired styles lean into that nostalgic race-day energy, minus the bulk.
You bet! Kids don’t stay the same size for long, so our hats come with adjustable snaps or straps to keep things comfortable as they grow. A secure fit also means less time fixing it and more time actually playing. It’s one less thing to outgrow (until they start borrowing yours).
They sure do. A structured brim helps block direct sunlight from your kid’s face and eyes or protects their neck when turned backwards. That can come in clutch during hours at the track or running around the driveway. As a bonus, the hat can help back flyaways and keep sweat from trickling into their eyes.
Not a good idea. Helmets should always sit flush and snug to do their job right, and a hat underneath can mess with the fit or even reduce safety. Instead, toss the hat in your bag or loop it onto your belt, and break it out post-ride when it's time to cool off, grab snacks, and talk about how far they almost got off that last jump.
Of course! Every single one of our hats is designed for any kid who wants to feel cool, tough, and a little grown-up. We skip the generic prints and go for styles your kid will want to wear even when they’re not at the track. These aren’t labeled for boys or girls; they’re just rad, wearable designs that speak for themselves.
They do. Most of our hats come in three kid-friendly sizes: 50cm for babies (0–2 years), 52cm for toddlers (2–5 years), and 56cm for youth (6+ years). Whether they’re still figuring out sidewalk turns or already tearing up dirt roads on their bike, there’s a fit that won’t slow them down. Your kid’s got style, and now their hat does, too. If you’re in between sizes or unsure which to get, check the product details or message us. We’ll help you lock in the right fit.
