Sunday Afternoons Hike & Camp

Frequently Asked Questions

• What sizes does the Sunday Afternoons Ultra Adventure Hat come in, and how do I choose the right fit?

  The Ultra Adventure Hat is offered in S/M (21¾–23") and L/XL (22¾–24¼") with an adjustable chinstrap and customizable sizing to dial in a secure fit. Measure head circumference and choose the size that includes your measurement; the wicking mesh sweatband improves comfort during long days so a snug fit stays comfortable.
• Is the Ultra Adventure Hat breathable and suitable for high-output activities like fast hiking or paddling?

  Yes, the Ultra Adventure Hat uses a 100% polyester mesh crown, mesh under-brim, and lightweight 88% nylon/12% polyester body fabric to maximize airflow and prevent overheating during high-output activities. Weights only 2.6 ounces, has a recycled bluesign® wicking sweatband, and dries quickly, which also makes it practical for paddling and humid conditions.
• How packable and water-friendly is the Ultra Adventure Hat for backpacking and travel?

  The patented Reverse Split Brim™ lets the hat fold in half without damaging the brim and compacts to about 10" x 5" x 1½", so it stashes in pack pockets easily for multi-day trips. It also has a PFAS-free DWR finish and floats in water; minor creases can form if folded outside the designated fold line, but the brim generally regains shape over time.
• How does the Ultra Adventure Hat compare to a traditional bucket or legionnaire-style sun hat?

  Compared with a bucket or standard legionnaire hat, the Ultra Adventure Hat prioritizes packability, ventilation, and extended coverage: UPF 50+ including mesh, a longer rear brim and 6" neck cape for better neck/shoulder protection, plus mesh crown ventilation and a Sunglass Lock™ to secure eyewear. The cape-and-brim silhouette is more technical and may look different than casual styles, but the tapered cape design avoids interference with tall backpacks while delivering superior sun performance.
