Unisex Wide Brim Boonie Hat – UPF 50+ Sun Protection for the Outdoors

Whether you're out on the water, working a trail, or moving through exposed terrain, this boonie hat earns its place in your pack. Rated UPF 50+, it blocks over 98% of UV radiation — proper protection, not just shade. The wide brim wraps all the way around, covering your face, ears, and the back of your neck where most hats fall short. If you're comparing options, browse our full range of packable and UPF-rated travel hats.

The mesh ventilation panel runs around the crown to keep air moving, and the built-in sweatband handles the rest. On a hot day, that combination makes a real difference. The 100% polyester fabric dries fast if you get caught in rain or work up a sweat on a long climb.

Key Specs

  • Sun protection: UPF 50+ rated fabric
  • Hat size: Fits 56–58cm — suits most adults
  • Fabric: 100% quick-dry polyester with mesh ventilation
  • Closure: Adjustable drawstring for a secure fit
  • Chin strap: Included, with anti-drop button to keep it in place
  • Packability: Folds flat and springs back to shape — fits in a jacket pocket or daypack lid
  • Brim style: Two-wear design — wear flat as a safari/fisherman hat, or snap one side up with the rust-proof buttons for a cowboy-style look
  • Care: Hand wash only

The chin strap is worth calling out specifically — it's the detail that separates a hat you'll actually wear on a boat or a ridge from one that ends up in your bag after the first gust. The anti-drop button keeps the strap out of the way when you don't need it. For everything else you need on the road, browse our travel accessories collection.

Ships from our NSW warehouse. Most orders dispatched within 1–2 business days with tracking included. Ideal for hiking, fishing, camping, beach days, and any outdoor activity where you're exposed to direct sun for extended periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does UPF 50+ actually mean?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks more than 98% of UV radiation (both UVA and UVB). It's the textile equivalent of SPF 50+ sunscreen — but unlike sunscreen, it doesn't wear off or need reapplying.

Will it fit a larger head?
The drawstring closure adjusts the fit within the 56–58cm range. If your head is significantly larger than 58cm, it may sit high rather than settle properly.

Can I fold it into a bag?
Yes — the hat is designed to fold flat and return to shape without creasing. It'll fit in a jacket pocket, daypack side pocket, or luggage lid compartment.

Is the chin strap removable?
The chin strap clips away with the anti-drop button when not in use, so it doesn't hang loose while you're wearing the hat casually.

What activities is it best suited for?
Fishing, hiking, camping, beach days, travel days with a lot of walking, and any outdoor work where you're exposed to direct sun for extended periods. The ventilation mesh makes it more comfortable than a solid-crown hat in warm conditions.

How do I wash it?
Hand wash in cold water and reshape while damp. Avoid machine washing — the brim structure and mesh panel hold up better with a gentle hand wash.
