Outdoor Research Sunbriolet Sun Hat Neptune XL – UPF 50+ Protection & Ventilated Comfort

Sun protection and cooling for water days and warm trails

The Outdoor Research Sunbriolet Sun Hat in Neptune XL is designed to shield your head and face from intense sun while you stay active. Its UPF 50+ fabric blocks harsh rays, and the crown incorporates mesh and wicking materials to help you stay cool and dry as you move from boat decks to sunlit trails. Piping along the brim adds subtle wind resistance when a breeze picks up, so you don’t have to adjust direction constantly.

Protection and comfort in action

Whether you’re paddling, hiking, or simply enjoying a lakeside afternoon, this hat aims to blend protection and comfort. The TransAction headband wicks sweat away from the skin, and the crown’s mesh panels promote airflow where you feel it most. The brim’s floating foam-stiffened structure holds its shape, while the one-handed drawcord and removable chin cord let you tailor the fit without slowing down.

Materials, care, and longevity

The shell blends 89% nylon and 11% polyester, with bluesign approval for responsible fabric choices. The under brim uses recycled nylon (60%) and nylon (40%) for durability. To maintain performance over time, rinse with cold water, hand wash, and line dry in shade. Avoid bleach, ironing, dry cleaning, and fabric softeners to preserve fabric properties.
