The Caped Merganzer Hat excels during long sessions on the water and full days in the sun. Depending on your need for sun protection and airflow, this quick-drying, sweat-wicking hat can be worn three ways, thanks to the adjustable cape. It's built from 100% recycled polyester stretch ripstop fabric that's treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish made without intentionally added PFAS, and the flexible brim floats in case you take an unexpected swim. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.

FEATURES

Breathable fabric is built of 100% recycled polyester stretch ripstop, with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish made without intentionally added PFAS to shed light moisture, and 40+ UPF sun protection

Wider-than-average floating brim provides more sun protection; when the cape is buttoned down, the wider brim allows more airflow

Brim rope can be used as a chin strap to help keep the hat in place during windy days or duck dives

Secure On-Water Fit: Low-profile elastic cord and cord lock at the back provide a comfortable and adjustable fit

Lightweight, low-profile sweatband offers moisture and temperature management, with miDori™ bioSoft for added wicking and softness

Wear It Three Ways: For maximum sun coverage, wear it with the cape buttoned in front of your chin; for moderate coverage and some airflow, button the cape behind your neck; for maximum airflow, tuck the cape up into the adjustable back strap
