Product Information
Full details
The Outdoor Research Sun Bucket Hat is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and summer travelers who need reliable, portable sun protection. Offering UPF 50+ coverage with a specialized, dual-length brim, it excels in both hiking and water activities due to its water-resistant and quick-drying nylon construction; however, users should note that the brim's flexibility may feel less structured than traditional hard-brimmed hats.

Pros and Cons
Pros

- Extremely lightweight and travel-friendly
- Water-resistant and quick-drying material
- Adjustable fit for windy conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, adjust the rear drawcord until the hat feels secure but comfortable on your head. If you are entering particularly windy conditions, attach the removable chin cord to the provided anchor points. For care, rinse the hat with fresh water if exposed to salt or chlorine. To maintain the life of the nylon fabric, wash in cold water using a mild detergent and allow the hat to air dry completely. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the moisture-wicking and protective properties of the material.
