Unisex Wide-Brim Sun Hat with Neck Flap and Chin Strap – Packable for Hiking and Fishing
- In stock, ready to ship
You come back from the water at 4 PM and the back of your neck is bright red.
The ballcap covered your face. But the sun was over your shoulder for six hours, and the two inches of skin between the collar of your shirt and the bill of the hat has been baking since noon. You didn't feel it. You will tomorrow, when the shower hits it, and again three days later when it starts to peel across the shoulders. Meanwhile you had a hat on the whole day and got sunburned anyway.
This hat covers the parts a ballcap misses. Wide brim across the front — face and eyes. Neck flap across the back — the strip of skin between the collar and the hat that always burns. Chin strap that keeps it on your head when the wind picks up at the ridge or on the water.
Here's how it works.
The brim runs wider than a ballcap in every direction — the shade extends past the ears and out to the sides of the face, so the sun stops hitting your face in the two afternoon hours where a ballcap goes useless.
The neck flap hangs off the back of the hat and covers the neck plus the ears. On a boat, that's the strip that sees reflected water light for the whole day; on the trail, it's the strip you never notice until you're home and the mirror shows you the line. The flap sits far enough off the skin that airflow still moves under it — cooler than a hood or a buff pulled up.
An adjustable drawstring on the crown fits it to your head; a chin strap holds it on in wind, on a boat, or on a descent. Hand-tighten both, forget about the hat for the rest of the day.
The whole thing folds flat. Roll it up, stuff it into the top of a pack, a fishing vest pocket, or a glove box. Pull it out at the trailhead or the dock, snap it back into shape, and you're covered.
The gear it replaces:
- A ballcap alone — no coverage on the neck or ears, no chin strap in wind
- A bucket hat — brim too short for real sun, no neck flap
- A buff pulled up over the back of the neck — hot, tight, keeps slipping down
- Sunscreen reapplied on the neck — melts off with sweat, misses the spot behind the ears every time
