It's the textile equivalent of SPF 50+ sunscreen — but unlike sunscreen, it doesn't wear off or need reapplying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it fit a larger head?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I fold it into a bag?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the chin strap removable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat activities is it best suited for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFishing, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I wash it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHand 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Travel Gear","offers":[{"title":"Army Green \/ One size","offer_id":50294457827617,"sku":"CJFX112385805EV","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ One size","offer_id":50294457860385,"sku":"CJFX112385801AZ","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Coffee \/ One size","offer_id":50294457893153,"sku":"CJFX112385803CX","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Blue \/ One size","offer_id":50294457925921,"sku":"CJFX112385802BY","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark gray \/ One size","offer_id":50294457958689,"sku":"CJFX112385804DW","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Khaki \/ One size","offer_id":50294457991457,"sku":"CJFX112385806FU","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/8077\/5713\/files\/Mens-Breathable-Travel-Solid-Color-Big-Brim-Hat-beige_f966ee9f-fb15-4935-8daf-d689e4ee2714.jpg?v=1781517569","url":"https:\/\/www.travelgear.com.au\/products\/unisex-wide-brim-boonie-hat-upf50","provider":"Travel Gear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
