Air on your scalp and shade on your face, even when the sun is beating down

A long day outdoors in the middle of summer, and the usual problem: a hat that protects from the sun but turns your head into an oven after an hour. This one solves both — a wide brim that casts shade all around your face, and a mesh panel on the crown that lets heat escape to keep your head cool.

Why it will never leave your bag

• Breathable mesh crown — the mesh panel wicks away heat and allows air to circulate, preventing your head from overheating during long outings in the sun.
• Wide brim all around — it covers your forehead, face, and ears in one piece, whereas a cap only protects the front.
• Adjustable chin strap — the sliding stopper secures the hat as soon as the wind picks up, on a ridge or by the water, without having to chase after it.
• Snap-up brim — lift one side of the brim to clear your field of vision or change your look, then fold it back down to regain the shade.
• Foldable washed cotton — the flexible material rolls up to fit into a bag and comes out without a crease, ready for use at the next stop.

Designed for hiking, fishing, and camping, but also for gardening, beach vacations, and all days spent outdoors in the sun. Lightweight and breathable, it's suitable for a day trip as well as a multi-day stay. If you spend your days exposed to the sun and worry about getting too hot under a hat, it will quickly find its place in your bag.

Does it really stay on in the wind without stifling your head?

The usual fear with a wide-brimmed hat: that it will fly off at the first gust of wind or be too hot. Here, the chin strap secures it when it's windy, and the mesh panel allows your scalp to breathe during strenuous activity. To care for it, hand washing is sufficient; let it dry flat to maintain its shape.

Because enjoying the full sun means no longer having to choose between shade and coolness.
