Neck flap fishing hat

Out on the water, noon hits from above and from the reflection below. We cut this hat from nylon with a wide brim and an attached cloth flap that covers the collar line completely. In deep black, the underside keeps water glare down while the crown lets the breeze pass through.

Neck flap coverage

The attached cloth panel falls down over the nape of your neck and stays put when you lean over tackle or garden beds. When you want a classic profile, it rolls up neatly under the brim.

Lightweight nylon cloth

The woven nylon sheds light river splashes and lake spray without growing heavy. Inside the crown, breathable mesh panels let hot air rise up and out so your head stays cool through the afternoon.

Adjustable drawstring fit

A soft sweatband circles the interior while an adjustable rear drawstring lets you cinch the fit tight against sudden lake gusts. The chin cord keeps the hat secure when the boat picks up speed.

Care and packing

Roll the whole piece into a tight cylinder for the bottom of your tackle bag or pack. When you reach the bank, shake it out to restore the brim, and hand wash in cool water after dusty outings.
