FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the mesh panels?
The mesh panels are designed to enhance airflow and ventilation, helping to keep your head cool in hot weather.
Is this hat waterproof?
The hat features a PFC-free Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which provides resistance to light rain and splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof, especially due to the mesh panels.
Can this hat float if it falls into water?
Yes, foam integrated into the crown and brim helps the hat to be buoyant.
How do I clean the hat?
Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Reshape while damp and air dry away from direct heat.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+, meaning the hat blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays.
Is there a pocket on this hat?
Yes, there is a discreet secret pocket located inside the hat for storing small items.
What materials is the hat made from?
The hat is made from a blend of 96% recycled nylon and 4% elastane.
Troubleshooting
Hat feels too loose
Adjust the internal reflective bungee wind cord to tighten the fit around your head.
Hat does not stay secure in wind
Ensure the wind cord is properly fastened under your chin and adjusted for a snug fit.
Reduced breathability after cleaning
Ensure no residue from soap remains; rinse thoroughly and air dry completely.
Hat absorbed water and is heavy
Squeeze out excess water gently and allow to air dry completely. The foam in the crown and brim should help it float if submerged.
