A Water-Ready Hat for Long Days on Kauai
The Koloa Hexagon Ultimate Performance Hat is made for the days when the ocean sets the plan. On Kauai that can mean a paddle at sunrise, a snorkel off the reef, a fishing trip, or a long walk past the surf breaks near Hanalei and Poipu. Koloa Surf Company is an online brand inspired by the Garden Isle, and this hat leans toward the active, wet and windy side of that life.
Salt, sun and spray are part of every beach day here. A hat for that kind of day should shed water, let air move through, and stay on your head when the trade winds pick up. The details below come straight from the listing, so you can see what each part of the hat is built to do.

Fit and Sizing
This hat has a structured six-panel crown in a mid-profile height. The memory structure is there so the crown keeps its shape instead of slumping, which matters on a hat you might wear wet. The visor board is slightly curved, and because it is buoyant, the hat is made to float if it ends up in the water.
The listing shows one adjustable hat in four colors rather than a range of sizes. The hook-and-loop closure lets you set the fit yourself. If you are choosing shirts to wear with it, the Koloa size chart covers Koloa apparel, and our Big and Tall surf apparel page is there for larger frames.
How to Wear It
Wear it on the water, on the trail or on the walk back from the beach. The perforated panels are cut for airflow, so it suits warm, humid days when a solid cap would feel heavy.
Grey and Black go with almost anything in a beach bag. Navy and Maroon add a little color to a plain tee or tank. It also works as a day-to-day hat for errands, since the structured crown looks tidy without effort.
Care
Follow any care instructions that come with the hat. Rinsing a hat after a salty day is a simple habit many people use, and letting it air dry away from direct heat helps a structured crown keep its shape.
