Choosing the Right Waterproof Hat
From stormy hikes to sunny strolls, Sealskinz waterproof hats keep your head dry, your style sharp, and the weather firmly in its place.
When you’re outdoors, the right gear makes all the difference. While most people focus on waterproof jackets and boots, your headwear is just as important. Sealskinz waterproof hats provide comfort, style, and reliable protection in all weather conditions.
Keeping you dry...
Our waterproof hats are designed with materials and technology that prevent water penetration while still allowing breathability. Unlike traditional hats, they incorporate advanced fabrics and our patented Aquasealz™ technology that repel rain while managing moisture and heat inside the hat.
Sealskinz waterproof hats use a three-layer construction:
1. Outer Layer: Made from durable material that resists rain and wind.
2. Middle Membrane: A 100% waterproof and breathable barrier.
3. Inner Layer: A soft, moisture-wicking lining for comfort.
This design ensures you stay dry on the outside without overheating on the inside: a balance essential for outdoor performance.
How we protect you
More than just dry
Waterproof hats provide more than just rain protection. They deliver comprehensive coverage against several elements:
- Rain and Moisture Protection ~ The waterproof membrane keeps your head dry, even in heavy downpours.
- Wind Resistance ~ High-quality waterproof hats double as wind barriers, reducing heat loss.
- Sun Protection ~ Options like a waterproof sun hat provide UV protection while keeping rain off.
- Heat Regulation ~ Breathable technology prevents overheating by allowing sweat to escape.
- Extended Comfort ~ A dry head means fewer distractions, keeping you focused on your adventure.
