Built for the Water Line Where Kauai Days Begin
Some mornings on Kauai start before the sun clears the ridgeline, with a board under one arm and a hat already sitting low over your eyes. The Honu Turtle Patch Ultimate Performance Hat was made for that kind of day, when the ocean is close, the wind is moving, and you want a hat that can keep up with you from the parking lot to the lineup.
The honu, the green sea turtle that drifts through our bays and along the reef, appears as a patch on the front. It is a nod to the animals that share these waters with us. Whether you are heading out with a longboard or just walking the shoreline after a session, this hat fits right into island life without asking for much attention.
What Goes Into It
- Constructed to be water repellent, floatable, and breathable
- 100% polyester fabric with moisture-management properties
- Perforated laser cut front, side, and back panels for airflow
- Structured six-panel, mid-profile design with memory structure
- Slightly curved, buoyant visor board with a Heather Charcoal undervisor
- NuYarn performance Merino wool sweatband
- Imperial reflective script woven label
- Rubberized hook-and-loop closure
- Available in Black, Navy, Gray, and Maroon
Each detail was chosen to handle wet, sunny, and breezy conditions without losing its shape. The mix of perforated panels and a moisture-managing fabric helps keep things comfortable when the heat builds.
Fit and Sizing
The hat has a structured, mid-profile crown that sits comfortably on the head without feeling bulky. The rubberized hook-and-loop closure lets you adjust the fit as you go, so it can be snug during a windy paddle and a little looser for a long afternoon. For measurements and guidance on choosing the right size, please check our size chart before you order.
How to Wear It
Wear it low and forward for a classic look at the beach, or push it back a bit when you are walking the shore and want more of the sky. The buoyant visor and reflective script label add a little character in low light, so it works just as well for an early walk as it does for a sunset stroll. Pair it with your favorite board shorts and a rash guard for a simple, ready-to-go island outfit.
Care
Keep the hat looking its best by following the care label sewn inside. In general, gentle cleaning and air drying help preserve the structure, the printed patch, and the reflective label. Avoid harsh treatment, and let the hat dry fully before storing it so it keeps its shape for many more days on the water.
