Overview
The MISSION Anywhere Boonie Hat is a wide-brim, unisex outdoor hat with UPF 50 sun protection and mesh side venting, built around a wet-to-activate cooling band that MISSION rates for up to two hours per soak.
Wetting, wringing and waving the fabric triggers the HydroActive cooling technology, which the brand states drops fabric temperature well below body temperature within about a minute. A zippered pocket and adjustable chin cord round out the design for hiking, fishing or general sun exposure.
- HydroActive Wet-to-Cool fabric technology
- UPF 50 sun protection
- Mesh side venting
- Machine washable, cooling does not wash out
Who it's for
Fits anyone spending long hours in direct sun, hiking, fishing or working outdoors, who wants a full-brim hat that can be re-wetted for cooling rather than relying on shade alone. Not a fit for anyone who wants a hat with no maintenance between wettings.
