Ponytail hiking sun hat

On a dusty trail under open skies, the pale sandy cloth reflects the midday glare and keeps your head cool. We cut the nylon crown with a rear opening so you can pull your hair up into a high bun. An adjustable chin cord holds everything steady when the ridge breeze kicks up.

Room for your hair

Pile your hair high before you lace your boots. The opening at the back lets a ponytail or braid through, keeping thick hair off the back of your neck so you stay cooler on steep climbs.

Broad circle of shade

We shaped the brim wide around the crown to cast a steady circle of shadow across your forehead and neck. Snap the sides up along the crown when you want an open view of the trail ahead.

Cord for the ridge line

When the wind picks up along an open ridge or by the lake, tighten the under-chin cord. The pull-on fit stays snug without squeezing, and the hat stays put instead of blowing down the slope.

Rolls into your pack

Stash it in your daypack beside your water bottle. The nylon fabric crushes down flat without creasing, then shakes right out into shape when you step out of the trees into open light.
