What's a Bucket Hat?

The bucket hat is a timeless favorite for a reason: it’s effortless, versatile, and always in style. Today’s bucket hats balance classic streetwear appeal with everyday practicality—making them an easy choice for travel, weekends, festivals, and casual summer outfits. Traditionally made from cotton, the bucket hat is defined by its circular crown, straight crown wall, and a narrow, stitched-down brim that provides relaxed shade in a clean, understated silhouette.

What's a Boonie Hat?

For more coverage and outdoor performance, meet the bucket hat’s adventure-ready cousin: the boonie hat. Designed with a wider, more dimensional brim and an elongated crown, boonie hats deliver enhanced sun protection for hiking, fishing, boating, and long days outside. Many cotton and performance-fabric boonies also include smart features like chin straps for wind security, vented crowns for airflow, neck shields for extra coverage, inner pockets for small essentials, and even insect-repellent treatments for trail-ready comfort.

Whether you’re after classic style or maximum function, bucket and boonie hats are the must-have staples for sun-smart, everyday wear.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bucket Hats and Boonies

What is the main difference between a bucket hat and a boonie hat?

A boonie hat typically has a stiffer, wider brim for enhanced sun coverage and often includes performance features (chin strap, ventilation), whereas a bucket hat has a softer, downward-sloping brim and is generally more casual and fashion-oriented

How should I choose between a bucket hat and a boonie hat?

Choose based on intended use: pick a boonie hat for outdoor adventure, superior sun protection, and functional features; choose a bucket hat for casual fashion, travel, and everyday comfort.

Which style provides better sun protection?

Boonie hats usually offer greater sun protection due to their broader and firmer brim that shades the face, neck, and ears, making them more suitable for prolonged outdoor exposure.

Are both types suitable for outdoor activities?

Yes — both bucket and boonie hats can be worn outdoors, but boonie hats are designed for more rugged conditions (hiking, fishing, tactical use) with performance features like ventilation and secure chin straps, while bucket hats are versatile for light outdoor use and everyday wear.
