Full 360-degree UV defence – with UPF 50+ fabric and an extended brim/flap
UPF 50+ rated fabric blocks a large proportion of ultraviolet radiation, while a 4.1in brim and 9.8in neck flap create continuous shade for face, ears and neck. The neck flap attaches to the rear to limit side and back exposure.
Face, ears and neck remain shaded during long outdoor sessions, lowering sunburn risk and allowing longer comfortable time outside.
Cool, ventilated wear – with side mesh panels and a moisture-wicking sweatband
Side mesh panels permit airflow across the crown to help convective cooling, and a built-in soft moisture-wicking sweatband moves perspiration away from the forehead.
Head stays cooler on humid days and sweat is managed so vision and comfort are maintained during activity.
Secure, adjustable fit for active days – thanks to chin strap, rear elastic and buckle
Chin strap includes a locking toggle and a small shark clip for attachment to gear, while rear elastic and a buckle enable sizing between 21.7in and 24.4in head circumferences.
Secure fit resists strong gusts and vigorous movement, and the design accommodates ponytails without sacrificing fit.
