Stay Sun Safe with a Sun Hat Which Covers Your Neck
This black hat with neck flap helps protect your face, ears, and neck from New Zealand’s strong UV rays. It gives you reliable coverage for long days tramping, gardening, boating, or coastal fishing. Because the fabric is light and quick-drying, you stay comfortable instead of feeling hot and sweaty.
The full neck drape shields the back and sides of your neck, while the firm 9 cm brim keeps harsh glare out of your eyes. The dark fabric also reduces reflection from water, sand, and pale rock. Therefore, it suits bright summer conditions around beaches, lakes, and open tracks.
You can adjust the fit easily with the rear elastic drawcord. The cap packs down quickly into a pocket or day pack, so it is simple to keep on hand for unexpected sun. The side snaps let you button the flap up when you need more airflow or a different look.
