Built for the Trail Above the Surf Break
On Kauai, the day rarely stays in one place. A morning session at the break can turn into a hike up to a ridge, a walk along the shoreline, or a long afternoon at the trailhead. The Koloa Outdoor Hat was designed for exactly that kind of day, when you need protection from the sun and a little extra help keeping the bugs away.
We built this wide-brim hat as an everyday essential for island adventures. The brim offers broad coverage, the sun flap tucks away when you don't need it, and the moisture-wicking sweatband keeps things comfortable when the trail gets warm and humid.

Fit and Sizing
This hat is offered in two sizes: Small/Medium, which fits head sizes 7 to 7 3/8, and Large/X-Large, which fits head sizes 7 3/8 to 7 3/4. The adjustable shock cord at the crown helps you dial in a snug, secure fit. For help choosing, check our size chart before you order.
How to Wear It
Wear the brim forward to shade your face and ears on a sunny ridge walk, or pull the sun flap down to cover the back of your neck during a long day outdoors. When the sun flap isn't needed, tuck it away for a cleaner look. The unstructured crown sits comfortably on the head and pairs easily with board shorts, a rash guard, or a casual trail outfit.
Care
Keep your hat fresh by following the care label inside the hat. Care instructions can vary by fabric, so checking the label before washing helps protect the UPF performance and the printed logo over time.
