Packable travel sun hat

Bright water and open gravel trails ask for steady shade across the face and neck. We cut this wide-brimmed hat from quick-drying nylon in a soft, quiet gray that stays cool under open skies. The cloth turns lake spray and sudden drizzle without soaking through.

Room for hair

We left an opening at the back of the crown for a high bun, a braid, or a ponytail. Hair stays up off your neck on hot afternoons without tipping the brim forward or crowding your brow.

Brim in the wind

The chin cord tightens down with an adjustable buckle when the ferry pulls away or the breeze comes off the water. Your hat stays put instead of blowing down the beach.

Cloth that packs down

You can roll or fold the nylon flat to drop into a tote bag or daypack. It shakes out with its round shape intact once you reach the trail, showing no stubborn creases.

Care for nylon

Rinse the cloth with mild soap in a basin of cool water after long days in the garden. Reshape the crown with your hands and let it air dry flat on a towel.
