FAQs
What is UPF 50+ protection?
UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor, indicating that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays. It's a measure of sun protection specifically for clothing and accessories.
How do I know if the hat will fit me?
The hat features a one-handed drawcord adjustment at the back, allowing you to customize the fit. It is designed for adults and generally accommodates a wide range of head sizes.
Is this hat suitable for swimming or watersports?
Yes, the hat is made from water-resistant and quick-drying nylon, making it suitable for use in and around water. The adjustable chin cord also helps keep it in place.
How should I clean the hat?
Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid bleach. Air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or dry.
Can I pack this hat for travel?
Absolutely. The hat features an interior stow pocket, allowing you to pack it down into a compact size for easy storage in a backpack or luggage.
What are the dimensions of the brim?
The brim measures 6.4 cm (2.5 inches) at the front and 8.4 cm (3.3 inches) at the back, providing ample shade.
Are the materials environmentally friendly?
The hat is constructed using bluesign approved nylon, which signifies that the materials have been produced using a responsible and sustainable chemical management process.
Troubleshooting
Hat feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the one-handed drawcord at the back of the hat. For a tighter fit, pull the toggle; for a looser fit, press the release button and adjust.
Chin cord is difficult to attach or detach.
Ensure the small plastic toggles are aligned correctly with the attachment loops on the hat. Practice the motion gently to become familiar with it.
Hat does not feel secure in wind.
Tighten the rear drawcord significantly and ensure the chin cord is securely attached and snug around the neck if wind is a major concern.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents. Air dry away from direct heat. The fabric should soften with continued use.
