The Black Boardsox Surf Hat paired with our Hard Shell Insert, so the crown holds firm and adds impact protection when you cop a board to the head. Slide the rigid shell insert into the crown and this black bucket hat shrugs off a stray board or a heavy lip. It is the pick for crowded line ups, shallow waves and groms learning to duck dive, with the same fit and full sun coverage as the standard hat. Includes the Boardsox Hard Shell Insert for impact protection in the crown Soft rear brim that stays down while you paddle, no flipping up over your eyes Hard front brim that holds shape through duck dives and cuts glare Neoprene chin strap and toggle so it stays on through wipeouts Adjustable head strap for a secure fit UPF 50+ AU/NZ rated sun protection Removable neck flap for extra coverage Mesh drainage vents so water flows straight out Quick drying, salt resistant fabric Designed and tested in real Australian surf by the Boardsox crew.
