UPF 50+ neck cape sun hat in breathable 100% polyester with a water-resistant finish. A cape runs down over the nape and lower neck, paired with a wide brim for the face and eyes; the cape can be worn down or tucked. Explore our full range of sun hats and caps.
The fabric blocks over 98% of UVA and UVB on the skin it covers, woven in so it holds through sweat and damp air. Light rain and spray run off instead of soaking in, air moves through the weave and an adjustable strap keeps the hat set through a full day of casting or paddling. One size, regular unisex fit. Machine wash cold on gentle, hang dry, no softener so the finish keeps repelling. See also our UV clothing.
The back of the neck is the first place to burn on the water, because you are facing forward and never see the sun land there. 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.
