Packs small with big shade cover
The packable buckle hat is a simple bucket hat that stores into its own pouch. It suits tramping, fishing, camping, and travel around New Zealand. Because the sun can bite hard here, the brim helps block glare on bright days. It also dries fast after light rain, so you stay comfortable on the move.
Clip the pouch to your pack, then grab the hat when the UV ramps up.
