- UPF 50+ rated fabric
- Built-in sweatband along the brow line
- Fits head sizes up to 23.6 inches
- Folds small enough for a pocket or bag
Who it's for

What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers consistently praise the light weight and packability, several using it for running or fishing, and multiple reviewers like the back cord for keeping it secure in wind. The main complaint is the chin strap, which one buyer says has no built-in closure despite being advertised as adjustable, and a couple of reviewers note the water resistant fabric traps some heat.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Packs flat for travel or tackle bags
- Adjustable back cord holds fit in wind
- Short brim keeps peripheral vision clear while casting
- Chin strap has no adjustable closure
- Water resistant fabric limits airflow in heat
Performance notes
The shorter brim keeps the hat out of your sightline when casting or looking down, while the elastic back cord cinches the fit in windy conditions. Because the fabric is water repellent rather than a breathable mesh, several buyers found it runs warm in direct sun even though it does not feel sweaty against the skin.

Questions about the BASSDASH fishing hats
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Does the BASSDASH FH13 have an adjustable chin strap?
No. Reviewers report the strap under the chin has no closure to loosen or tighten, so some buyers replaced it with a separate adjustable strap.
What head size does the FH13 fit?
The back cord adjusts to fit head sizes up to about 23.6 inches, covering most adult men and women.
Is the BASSDASH FH13 hat breathable?
It is water resistant rather than mesh, so it does not breathe much. Buyers say it runs warm in the sun but does not feel excessively sweaty.
