Spending Summer by the Water? Protect Yourself with a Wallaroo Hat

Is H20 your MO all summer long? Don’t leave shore without the essentials - sunscreen, safety equipment, water, and, of course, a Wallaroo hat. Whenever you’re enjoying water activities like fishing, boating, kayaking, or paddleboarding, sun protection is a must. When it comes to hats, you need one that will stay in place, offer superior coverage, and, most importantly, protect you from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Plus, looking like a fashion icon doesn’t hurt.

Whatever your water activity, there’s a functional, fashionable Wallaroo hat for you.

Fishing

Is “gone fishing” your summer handle? Whether you’re in it for the solitude or it’s your time to bond with others, a day on the water is a great escape from the noise of everyday life. Don’t ruin the moment with sun damage - remember that water intensifies the sun's UV rays, making them about 20 percent more intense.

A great hat to start with is The Explorer, a packable style made with UPF 50+ fabric to block 97.5% of ultraviolet rays. The Explorer offers a chin strap to keep it firmly in place; plus, even if you or your hat becomes one with the water, it’ll float, thanks to its wide, microfiber foam brim. The Explorer is available in three varieties (men, ladies, and kids), meaning there’s one for every family member.

Another option is The Carkella Tahoe, crafted with a durable, lightweight ripstop fabric that’s resistant to tearing, water, and wind and offers UPF 50+ protection. Worried about the wind? Don’t. Remember, fishing is the time you’re supposed to forget about your worries. Cast your line in peace, knowing your hat isn’t going anywhere - The Tahoe has adjustable sizing to help keep it firmly in place. When the day’s over, easily pack your Tahoe away with the rest of your gear.

Boating/Kayaking

If boating or kayaking is your thing, a hat is a no-brainer. But that hat needs to stay in place because, as we all know, things can get choppy and windy on the water. Choose from Wallaroo’s collection of hats with chin straps to ensure your hat stays with you and out of the drink. A popular pick is The Cabo. First, doesn’t the name make you feel like you’re headed for a tropical vacation? The Cabo is stylish, easy to pack, has a chin strap, and features a snazzy embroidered trim for stylish sun protection that will turn heads.

Great for all your adventures, The Logan is packable and stylish with its contrasting weave and faux leather trim and strap.
