Stay Sun Safe and Keep Your Neck Covered
This navy blue hat with neck flap offers reliable protection for your face, ears, and neck in New Zealand’s strong sun. It gives you full coverage for tramping, gardening, boating, or coastal fishing while keeping your head comfortable and cool.
The wide 9 cm brim helps shade your eyes and reduce glare from water, sand, and rock. The extended flap covers the back and sides of your neck, so you are better protected during long days outside. Because the fabric is lightweight and quick-drying, this navy blue hat with neck flap works well in warm weather, light rain, or splashy conditions on the water.
You can adjust the fit easily using the elastic drawcord at the back. The cap folds down neatly into a pocket, glove box, or day pack, so it is simple to keep as backup sun protection. Side snaps let you wear the flap down for maximum coverage or buttoned up when you want more airflow or a neater look.
