Product Information

Full details

This wide-brimmed Booney hat from Buff is designed for adults seeking reliable sun protection during outdoor activities like boating or picnicking. Its key benefit is UPF 50 certified sun protection, keeping you safe from harmful UV rays. A potential caveat is that while designed for long days outdoors, its primary focus is sun protection rather than extreme weather resistance. Key features include its UPF 50 rating, adjustable fit and cord strap, side ventilation for comfort, and an integrated storage pocket.

FAQs

What does UPF 50 mean?

UPF 50 means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, providing excellent protection.

Is this hat suitable for swimming?

While it offers sun protection and can withstand some water exposure, it is not specifically designed as swimwear. The chin strap helps keep it on, but it may become waterlogged.

How do I clean the hat?

Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, and machine drying or ironing. Air dry in the shade.

Can the chin strap be removed?

The chin strap is integrated and not designed for removal, as it contributes to securing the hat during windy conditions or water activities.

What is the primary material used?

The hat is made with 100% recycled content, primarily polyester.

Will this hat fit everyone?

It's designed as one-size-fits-most for adults, with adjustable features for a secure fit. However, extremely large or small head sizes might find it less ideal.

How does the storage pocket work?

The hat can be folded and tucked into a small pocket built into the hat itself, making it more portable when not being worn.

Troubleshooting

Hat feels too loose or too tight

Adjust the internal drawcord and the chin strap for a customized fit. Ensure the drawcord is properly secured.

Ventilation seems insufficient on very hot days

While the vents offer airflow, on extremely hot days, consider seeking shade or taking breaks. Ensure vents are not obstructed.

Hat doesn't pack down small enough

Gently fold the hat, prioritizing placement of the brim. The integrated pocket is designed for moderate compactness, not complete flatness.
