Description
The KAVU Fishermans Chillba Bucket Hat is a water resistant and reversible fishing cap. It is made of 100% Nylon and is proudly made in the US. The hat features a toggle closure and a stainless steel ring that holds its shape.
This hat is perfect for hot weather due to its cool print color polyester material. It can keep you comfortable even in scorching temperatures. Additionally, the brim of the hat is designed in a way that prevents it from blowing up in the wind. You can adjust the fit by pulling it tighter under your chin, which stiffens the brim significantly. This means you can wear it confidently even in strong winds, such as while sea kayaking or bush walking.
The color of the chinstrap for the Harbor Blue version of this hat is black.
Washing this hat is not a problem at all. It is completely washable, which makes maintenance and cleaning a breeze. Many users, including myself, own multiple hats from this brand. Even after numerous washes, the hat remains durable and in good condition. The edges may start to fray after several years of use, but this is a sign of its longevity and the amount of use it has received.
01How cool is the print color polyester in hot weather? Does the wind blow up the front brim?+
Hi, I have used these hats for more than 10 years while sea kayaking and bush walking. I find them cool in summer and they are great in strong winds. The brim stiffens significantly as you pull it tighter under your chin. I have never had it blow off my head either, even in strong winds!
02What colour is the chinstrap for Harbor Blue?+
Black.
03is it washable+
Yes! I own 3 of these hats. The edges of my first one are starting to fray because it’s been washed so many times, but it’s several years old and gets a lot of use.
