What kind of hat should I wear boating?

For boating, choose a hat that shades your face and neck, and stays secure in the wind. They must have a UPF 50+ certification to block UV rays. Chin straps, neck capes, water repelling fabric, floatable brims, caps with wide bills are practical options.

Should boating hats have a chin cord?

A chin cord or adjustable fit is helpful when boating or sailing because wind can easily lift a loose hat. Secure-fit features help keep your hat in place. Hats with a floatable feature gives you the opportunity to get your hat out of the water.

Are packable hats good for sailing trips and cruises?
