Men's tech UV sun hat with removable face flap in 100% polyester. A wide brim with rear and side neck cape stays put for face and neck shade, and the front face flap clips on when the light gets brutal and comes off when it eases. Explore our full range of sun hats and caps.
The fabric blocks over 98% of UVA and UVB on the skin it covers, with the protection woven into the yarn so it holds through sweat and repeat washes. Mesh side panels let heat escape, an adjustable chin strap secures the fit on the move and the hat folds flat for a pack or pocket. Fits head sizes 55 to 58 cm. Machine wash cold with the flap removed, hang dry. See also our UV clothing.
Some mornings start cool and open up into hard glare by noon; on a long climb the sun swings around and hits the face straight on. This hat lets you add cover as the day changes without carrying two hats. Browse the complete UV Max collection.

WHAT THE SUN IS DOING
The damage does not show up today
UV does not sting the way heat does, so you never feel it working. It stacks up quietly, one afternoon at a time, and turns up on your skin in your forties as spots and rough patches a doctor wants to look at. A cotton tee leaves your forearms and the back of your neck open to every hour of it. This shirt closes that gap.
WHAT THE SUN IS DOING
The two spots a cap always misses
A baseball cap shades your forehead and leaves the back of your neck and the tops of your ears in open sun. Those are the two spots men burn first and notice last. A brim that runs the whole way round, or a drop-down flap, finally covers both.
WHAT THE SUN IS DOING
Shade that moves with you
There is not always a tree where you need one. The brim keeps the sun off your face and ears on the water, on the ridge and in the open field, so the shade is there the moment the sun is.
WHAT THE SUN IS DOING
Folds flat, holds in a gust
It packs into a bag and the chin cord keeps it on when the wind comes off the water. UPF 50+ blocks over 98% of UV, so it protects for as long as you keep it on your head.
