Overview
A wide-brim, unisex bucket hat rated UPF 50, made from a fabric that the brand says cools when wetted and stays cool for up to two hours before needing rewetting.
The cooling claim relies on an activation step: wet the hat, wring it out, and wave it before wearing. It folds flat for travel and has a flip-up brim with snaps plus an adjustable neck cord for fit.
- Wet-to-cool fabric activated by water or sweat
- UPF 50 sun protection
- Adjustable 20.5 to 24.5 inch fit
- Foldable, machine-washable design
Who it's for
Golfers, hikers, anglers and beachgoers who want sun coverage and are willing to periodically re-wet the fabric during long outdoor stretches. It is not a hands-off cooling solution; it needs reactivation to keep working.
Pros and cons
- UPF 50 rating blocks the bulk of UV exposure
- Adjustable neck cord and snap brim for fit
- Folds flat and is machine washable
- Cooling effect requires periodic rewetting to maintain
Performance notes
According to the listing, the fabric drops in temperature within about a minute of the wet, wring and wave steps and holds that cooler feel for roughly two hours before it needs reactivating. The brim flips up and snaps for a lower-profile look when the cooling feature is not in use.
