Product Information
Full details
The Tilley LTM5 AirFlo hat is an essential companion for outdoor enthusiasts and travelers seeking superior sun protection in warm, humid climates. This lightweight, nylon hat provides a certified UPF 50+ rating and features a mesh crown for maximum airflow, making it ideal for hiking, boating, or gardening. While its technical features make it highly functional for adventure, the specific brim width may feel slightly smaller than traditional full-brimmed safari hats for those seeking maximum facial shade.

FAQs
Is the Tilley LTM5 waterproof?
It features a water-repellent finish that sheds light rain, but it is not fully waterproof.
Can I machine wash this hat?
It is recommended to hand wash your Tilley hat to maintain its structure and integrity over time.
How do I use the wind cord?
Place one loop under your chin and the other behind your head to secure the hat during high winds.
Will this hat float if it falls in a lake?
Yes, the Tilley LTM5 is designed to stay afloat if it falls into the water.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
It means the fabric allows only 1/50th of the sun's ultraviolet rays to pass through, blocking 98% of harmful UV radiation.
Where is the secret pocket located?
The secret pocket is located inside the crown of the hat, usually secured with a hook-and-loop fastener.
Troubleshooting
The hat feels slightly too tight after washing.
Nylon can shrink slightly when wet; while it is damp, gently stretch the sweatband area with your hands to restore the original size.
Sweat stains appearing on the fabric.
Pre-treat the affected area with a mild laundry soap or stain remover, scrub gently, and rinse thoroughly to prevent salt buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Tilley LTM5 remains in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Hand wash regularly in cool water using mild soap. Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals that may degrade the fabric.
- Drying: Air dry the hat by shaping it and laying it flat or hanging it in a shaded area. Avoid high-heat drying methods like tumble dryers.
- Shape Retention: If the hat loses its shape after travel, simply reshape the brim with your hands while it is damp and allow it to dry in the desired position.
- Storage: Avoid folding the hat tightly for long periods. If storing in a suitcase, keep the crown area clear so the mesh does not become crushed.
