Helios Sun Hat

DescriptionKey FeaturesSpecificationsCare

The Helios Sun Hat combines bluesign® approved fabric, UPF 50+ protection, and a water-resistant, quick-drying build to deliver cool, dependable shade for long, bright days on the trail, at camp, or out on the water — built for full-sun days on the trail, water, or at camp, offering lightweight performance and dependable sun protection for active outdoor pursuits, updated for Spring '26 with improved fabric and construction, the Helios features a 2.75-inch brim and UPF 50+ protection to block harsh UV rays, with the quick-drying, breathable material keeping you cool through heat and humidity, while a water-resistant finish sheds light drizzles, and a crown cinch and adjustable, detachable chin cord provide a secure fit when the wind picks up.

2.75" Brim for Dependable Shade

Medium-wide 2.75-inch brim provides dependable face and neck shade for long, bright days — wider than a baseball cap, more packable than a wide-brim outback hat. Perfect for trail, water, and camp use.

UPF 50+ Sun Protection

Built-in UPF 50+ shields face, ears, and neck from harsh UV on exposed days — the highest sun protection tier, prevents sunburn on long hikes, paddle trips, and midday camp setups without sunscreen reapplication.

Water-Resistant & Quick-Drying

Nylon shell sheds light rain and dries fast between activities — survives surprise drizzles, water-side paddling, and sweating without staying soaked. Maintains shape and structure when wet.

Crown Cinch Adjustment

Internal crown cinch dial customizes the fit at the back of the head — secure fit during windy conditions and active use, or loosen for casual wear. One-hand adjustment for quick changes on the trail.

Detachable Adjustable Chin Cord

Adjustable chin cord keeps the hat secured in high winds — detachable when you don't need it, adjustable for custom fit under the chin. Critical for boat use, exposed ridge walks, and stormy hikes.

Quick-Drying Breathable Fabric

Breathable, wicking, and quick-drying material keeps you cool through heat and humidity — comfortable for all-day wear on summer hikes, paddle trips, and tropical travel without overheating.

High Durability Build

Rated HIGH durability — built to withstand pack compression, repeated wet/dry cycles, and extended outdoor use. Quality construction outlasts cheaper sun hats by seasons.

Improved Brim Construction

Updated for Spring '26 with improved brim construction — holds shape through repeated use, pack stuffing, and wet conditions. Resists collapsing into a floppy mess after compression.

bluesign® Approved 100% Nylon

Sustainable bluesign® approved 100% nylon construction — eco-friendlier choice with high recycled content potential without sacrificing durability or sun protection.

Lightweight Packable Design

Weighs just 2.41 oz / 68 g — disappears in your pack or daypack when not needed. Crushable construction rebounds to shape after stuffing.

Spot Clean Only

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap — avoid submerging or machine washing, which can damage the UPF coating and brim construction. Hang to air dry completely.

Reshape Brim After Washing

If the brim loses shape after washing or extended use, gently reshape by hand and let air dry — the brim construction recovers with light manipulation. Avoid high heat which warps the brim.

Do Not Bleach

Avoid chlorine bleach and harsh chemicals — degrades the UPF coating and nylon fibers. Stick to mild soap and water for spot cleaning.

Air Dry Away from Direct Heat

Air dry at room temperature away from radiators, fires, or direct sunlight — high heat warps the brim and degrades the UPF treatment over time.
