Ponytail hole bucket hat

Bright water and open trails ask for serious shade. We cut this nylon sun hat with an extra wide brim and dyed it in deep charcoal gray, like wet river slate. It sheds lake spray, packs down small in a daypack, and gives your hair somewhere to go.

Room for your hair

A slit cut into the back of the crown lets high ponytails and thick braided buns sit naturally. Your hair stays up off your neck on hot afternoons without pushing the crown forward over your eyebrows.

Shade that packs down

The wide nylon brim throws full shadow over your eyes and collar. When the clouds roll in, roll the hat flat into a backpack pocket. It shakes out with its round shape intact once the glare returns.

Staying on in wind

A chin cord with an adjustable toggle keeps the hat on your head across breezy ferry decks and open ridge walks. Side snaps let you fold the edges up when you want a narrower profile.

Easy wash nylon

Trail dust, sweat, and saltwater rinse right out. Toss the hat into the washing machine on a gentle cycle, hang it by the cord, and the quick-drying cloth is ready for the morning walk before breakfast.
