FAQs
What is UPF 50 protection?
UPF 50 means the fabric allows only 1/50th (or less) of the ultraviolet radiation to pass through it, offering excellent protection against the sun's harmful UV rays.
How do I clean the Buff Cap Explore Booney?
It is recommended to hand wash the hat with mild soap and cool water. Avoid bleach, ironing, and tumble drying. Air dry only.
Is this hat suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, the lightweight polyester material is designed for breathability and comfort in warm weather, providing excellent sun protection.
Can the chinstrap be removed?
The chinstrap is integrated for secure fitting and is not designed to be removed.
What are the dimensions of the brim?
While specific dimensions are not provided, the brim is designed to offer ample shade for the face and neck, characteristic of a booney-style hat.
Is the hat waterproof?
The hat is designed for sun protection and is not waterproof. It offers protection against sun and light splashes but not heavy rain.
What does 'stowable' mean in this context?

Troubleshooting
Hat feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the chinstrap for a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure the strap is positioned comfortably under the chin.
