Our fabrics are rigorously tested to ensure maximum UV blocking.

Our commitment to your safety means equipping you with hats that offer superior UV defense. We utilize cutting-edge fabric technology to block harmful sun rays, allowing you to enjoy hours on the water with confidence.

  • UPF 50+ Rating: The highest achievable rating, blocking over 98% of UVA and UVB rays. Our hats are tested to ASTM standards.
  • Engineered Fabrics: Densely woven synthetic fibers that inherently resist UV penetration, maintaining their protective qualities wet or dry.
  • Optimal Brim Design: Brims are crafted for wide shade coverage, preventing glare and protecting the delicate skin of your face and neck.
  • Dark Underbrim Technology: Reduces reflective glare from the water, protecting your eyes and improving visibility.
  • Moisture-Wicking & Quick-Dry: Our materials actively draw sweat away and dry rapidly, keeping you comfortable even during intense paddling.

All-Day Comfort on the Water

Beyond protection, a great kayaking hat should feel like it's barely there, allowing you to focus on the paddle stroke, the wildlife, and the serenity of the water.

Keep Your Hat Performing Season After Season

Proper care extends the life and performance of your technical hat.

To ensure your kayaking hat maintains its UPF protection and structural integrity, a little care goes a long way. Follow these simple guidelines:

  • Gentle Hand Wash: Use mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach which can degrade technical fabrics and UPF ratings.
  • Air Dry Only: Never machine dry. Allow your hat to air dry completely, preferably on a clean, absorbent towel or a hat form to maintain its shape.
  • Maintain Brim Shape: If your hat has a stiff brim, store it flat or on a curved surface to prevent warping. Avoid crushing it.
  • Spot Clean Stains: For mud or grime, use a soft brush and a small amount of mild cleaner. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Replace When Needed: Over time, wear and tear, especially from prolonged sun exposure, can reduce UPF effectiveness. Replace your hat if it shows signs of significant fading or thinning.
