Wide-Brim Sun Hat — Men's

A wide-brim boonie for long days in the open. The stitched brim runs the full way round, so your ears and the back of your neck get the same shade as your face — the difference between finishing a summer ridge walk comfortable and finishing it burnt.

Built for the trail

• Wide stitched brim — holds its shape instead of flopping into your eyeline, and shades right around rather than just the front.
• Mesh-lined crown — open mesh sits between your head and the outer panel so heat has somewhere to go on the climb.
• Side vents and eyelets — airflow through the crown on still, humid days.
• Adjustable chin cord — cord lock lets you cinch it down when the wind gets up on exposed ground, or drop it behind your neck when it doesn't.
• Quick-drying nylon — shrugs off sweat and light rain, dries fast after a soaking.
• Packs flat — crushes into a side pocket and comes back out without a permanent crease.

When to reach for it

Summer hiking, fishing, paddling, long approaches above the treeline, and any day where shade isn't going to be an option. Also the hat to pack when you're travelling somewhere hotter than home.

Sizing

One size, 56–60 cm head circumference, with an internal drawcord to tighten the fit. That covers most adult heads. To measure: run a tape around your head just above the ears and across the middle of the forehead.

Measurements are taken by hand — allow 2–3 cm variance. Screen calibration means colours can look slightly different in person.

Care

Hand wash cool, reshape the brim while damp, and air dry out of direct sun. Don't machine dry — heat can warp the brim.
