As any sailor will tell you, exposure to UV rays is often extreme when youre out on the water and a wide-brimmed sun hat is an important part of your personal boating kit. It also reduces glare, helping you keep an effective lookout.
Not just any hat, though you need one thats designed to stay on your head in gusty winds, with plenty of all-round shade and without a floppy brim that flaps annoyingly in a fresh breeze.
An easily adjustable retention cord is also essential, and its wise to choose one thats made from a water-repellent, quick-drying fabric with built-in UPF-50 sun protection. A new design thats strongly informed by our own long experience of sailing, the Genoa sun hat ticks all of these boxes and more.
