Available in two colors, the Explorer is ready for land and water adventures, thanks to its floating microfiber 3” brim and UPF 50+ protection.  Another great choice is the Carkella Tahoe, a classic boonie hat made from lightweight ripstop fabric that resists tearing, water, and wind, making it great for trails or water.

The Sanitas is also great for the trails: an adventure-ready UPF 50+ hat with a hidden ponytail opening, a 3.75-inch-wide brim, and a chin strap for windy days.
