Ponytail hole bucket hat

Bright water and open dirt roads bring a harsh midday glare. We cut this nylon hat wide around the brow and left a slot open high at the back so a bun sits free. The light gray cloth deflects the heat without soaking up grime from the trail.

Room for high hair

A wide opening sits high in the back of the crown. You can pull a braid or a bun through without wedging the band down over your ears or tilting the brim forward over your brow.

Brim on open ground

We shaped the nylon brim broad enough to drop deep shade across your eyes and collar. When the afternoon wind rises off the water, the chin cord keeps the crown anchored right where you put it.

Light gray nylon weave

The pale gray fabric sheds sudden spray and dries fast after a passing shower. It stays cool under a hard midday glare and washes clean in the machine when the camp dust settles.

Packs flat in luggage

Roll the crown, fold the brim, and tuck it into the side pocket of your daypack. It pops open at the trailhead with its shape intact, ready for long hours along the riverbank.
