BUILT FOR WATER AND WILDERNESS

The Floater Series earns its name. It's at home on a fishing boat, a kayak, a hunting blind, or a long trail day. The mesh panel ventilation means you won't overheat during active movement, while the waterproof shell keeps you dry when conditions change. The drawcord keeps it planted when a boat wake or trail wind would send a standard hat flying.

WHY UPF 50+ MATTERS ON THE WATER

Water reflects up to 80% of UV radiation back up at you, nearly doubling your exposure compared to land-based activities. Fishing, kayaking, and boating all carry higher-than-average UV risk because of this reflection effect. A wide-brim UPF 50+ hat blocks over 98% of UVA and UVB radiation — far more effective than sunscreen alone, which degrades with sweat and water exposure. The Floater Series keeps you covered without any reapplication.
