Quick take
A lightweight packable boonie hat with 3-inch floating brim and UPF 50+ sun protection for fishing and outdoor activities.
A lightweight, packable boonie hat in navy and khaki with a 3-inch brim that floats if it lands in the water. The polyester fabric carries a UPF 50+ rating for sun coverage on the boat or the bank. A snap closure and a sizing that suits all-day wear make it an easy add to a tackle bag for fishing, hiking or golf.
