Overview
A wide-brim, unisex bucket hat rated UPF 50, made from a fabric that the brand says cools when wetted and stays cool for up to two hours before needing rewetting.
The cooling claim relies on an activation step: wet the hat, wring it out, and wave it before wearing. It folds flat for travel and has a flip-up brim with snaps plus an adjustable neck cord for fit. No owner reviews are attached to this listing yet, so the cooling and durability claims below come from the manufacturer's own spec sheet.
- Wet-to-cool fabric activated by water or sweat
- UPF 50 sun protection
- Adjustable 20.5 to 24.5 inch fit
- Foldable, machine-washable design
Who it's for
Golfers, hikers, anglers and beachgoers who want sun coverage and are willing to periodically re-wet the fabric during long outdoor stretches. It is not a hands-off cooling solution; it needs reactivation to keep working.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- UPF 50 rating blocks the bulk of UV exposure
- Adjustable neck cord and snap brim for fit
- Folds flat and is machine washable
- Cooling effect requires periodic rewetting to maintain
- No owner reviews yet to confirm long-term durability
Performance notes
According to the listing, the fabric drops in temperature within about a minute of the wet, wring and wave steps and holds that cooler feel for roughly two hours before it needs reactivating. The brim flips up and snaps for a lower-profile look when the cooling feature is not in use.
