Water Sports Hat UPF 50+

"I have serious sun damage from my youth which was spent largely in Africa. I've been using this hat on my fishing trips. It is by far the most practical hat I have as it straps securely under the chin and stays in place under windy conditions. It is comfortable and matches well with my wading gear. Love it!!"

Great sun protection

"I do deep water running 3 times a week. This hat is giving my face, ears and back of my neck great protection from the sun. I will be using the chin strap when it's windy but so far I have just put it to the back of my neck. The hat dries quickly and looks really good"
