Key Features

• Unisex sizing: One-size-fits-most design works for men and women. Available in Dark Grey, Light Grey, Khaki, and Army Green.

Why the Discoverer Series?

Most sun hats force a choice: coverage or comfort. Wide brims that block UV tend to be stiff, hot, and awkward to pack. The Discoverer Series solves this with detachable flaps — you get full face and neck coverage when you need it, and a clean bucket hat silhouette when you don't. It's the only hat in the GearTop lineup built for gardeners, anglers, hikers, and travelers who spend serious time in direct sun.

Pair with the free SunUp by GearTOP app (iOS) for real-time UV index tracking and personalized burn-time alerts based on your skin type and location. Know exactly when to flip those flaps down.

GearTop Lifetime Guarantee. If it fails, we replace it. No questions.
