Area 51

Like its namesake, our water-loving Merganzer Hat looks as good duck-diving waves as it does searching for them, with a brim rope that doubles as a stowable chin strap. Built of 96% NetPlus® postconsumer recycled nylon made from recycled fishing nets to help reduce ocean plastic pollution/4% spandex plain weave, with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish that's made without PFCs (perfluorinated chemicals). Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.

• Soft, floatable brim has a dark underbill to reduce glare and protect your eyes from the sun
• Brim rope serves double-duty as a chin strap, keeping the hat in place for duck dives, without looking out of place away from the waves
• Low-profile, adjustable, quick-release buckle in back provides a snug fit; discreet leash anchor keeps your cap secure, even when submerged
• Lightweight, low-profile sweatband offers moisture and temperature management, with miDori™ bioSoft for added wicking and softness, and HeiQ® Mint odor control
• Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, which means the people who made this product earned a premium for their labor
• Made in China
