Air Up Top.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou know the hat. It does its job on the brim and fails everywhere else. Twenty minutes into a summer walk the crown is a sealed box of hot air, your forehead is wet and the band is soaked through. So you take it off to cool down, and now the sun is on your face again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen there is the other problem. A stiff hat does not go in a bag. It rides on the back seat of the ute, gets sat on, and is never there when the sky clears at the beach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hat keeps the shade where you need it and lets the heat out where it builds up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere's How It Works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole crown is woven polyester mesh. Hot air rises off your head and goes straight out through the top instead of sitting there. On a still, sticky afternoon that is the difference between keeping the hat on and carrying it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the crown sits a moisture-absorbing sweatband. It catches what the airflow does not, so sweat is not running into your eyes when you are bent over a rock pool or working the bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brim is a mid-width brim of around 6 cm, held with snap pins so you can set it the way you want it. Now the honest part. \u003cstrong\u003eThis is not a wide-brim hat.\u003c\/strong\u003e It shades your face and eyes but it will not cover your shoulders, and it carries no UPF rating. It is built for light, cool shade on long warm days, with sunscreen on the rest of you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crown is crushable. Fold it, push it into a daypack side pocket or the glovebox, pull it out later and it springs back. At about 80 g you will not notice it is in there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Gear It Replaces\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA stiff straw hat\u003c\/strong\u003e — looks the part and cracks the first time you pack it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA cotton cap\u003c\/strong\u003e — shades your eyes and cooks the top of your head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA solid-crown sun hat\u003c\/strong\u003e — traps heat right where you are sweating most\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGoing without\u003c\/strong\u003e — fine until the sun swings round at 2 pm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's In It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoven polyester mesh crown\u003c\/strong\u003e — heat escapes instead of building up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMid-width brim of approx. 6 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e — shade for your face and eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSnap-pin adjustable brim\u003c\/strong\u003e — set the brim the way you like it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoisture-absorbing sweatband\u003c\/strong\u003e — keeps sweat out of your eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrushable packable crown\u003c\/strong\u003e — folds into a bag and recovers its shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApprox. 80 g\u003c\/strong\u003e — light enough to forget you are wearing it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree colours\u003c\/strong\u003e — black, grey and green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panama-style mesh sun hat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% woven polyester mesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 80 g (2.8 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead circumference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56–60 cm (22–23.6 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrim width:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 6 cm (2.4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrim:\u003c\/strong\u003e Snap-pin adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, Grey, Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gentle hand wash, air dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hiking, fishing, beach days, everyday summer wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended user:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adults\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCool on top.
