Product Information
Full details
The North Face Flex Flashdry Hat is designed for active adults who prioritize comfort and moisture management during both outdoor adventures and casual daily wear. Its standout benefit is the proprietary FlashDry fabric technology, which accelerates moisture wicking to keep you dry and cool throughout the day. While it offers a sleek, modern aesthetic and durable construction, users should note that the structured design may not fit those who prefer a loose, unstructured "dad hat" style, as the fit is more secure and fitted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Flex Flashdry Hat, adjust the rear strap to your preferred fit before beginning your activity. For care, it is recommended to hand wash the hat in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh bleach, as these can degrade the technical FlashDry treatment. Always air dry the hat by placing it over a round object to maintain its shape, and avoid high-heat tumble drying, which may damage the structural elements of the brim.
