As any sailor will tell you, exposure to UV rays is often extreme when you’re out on the water and a wide-brimmed sun hat is an important part of your personal boating kit. It also reduces glare, helping you keep an effective lookout. Not just any hat, though – you need one that’s designed to stay on your head in gusty winds, with plenty of all-round shade and without a floppy brim that flaps annoyingly in a fresh breeze. An easily adjustable retention cord is also essential, and it’s wise to choose one that’s made from a water-repellent, quick-drying fabric with built-in UPF-50 sun protection. A new design that’s strongly informed by our own long experience of sailing, the Genoa sun hat ticks all of these boxes and more.
