Packable UPF bucket hat in lightweight, breathable 100% polyester. The all-around brim keeps the face and ears in shade as you move down the beach, and the soft brim folds flat into a jacket pocket without creasing. 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 fibre so it works wet or dry. Air flows through the weave to keep the head cool and an adjustable chin cord holds the fit when a sea breeze comes through. Regular unisex fit, true to size, fits most adult heads. Machine wash cold on gentle, hang dry, unfold and reshape after washing. See also our UV clothing.
A day at the shoreline means hours of open sky with nothing between you and the sun, and the ears and nose burn before you notice. 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.
