What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I wear the Caped Merganzer Hat whenever I’m on the water or hiking in exposed terrain. The cape keeps my neck from roasting, and the fabric dries super fast if I get splashed or sweat through it. It’s surprisingly lightweight, and I love that the UPF protection is built in without any added PFAS."
Long days under an open sky demand protection that keeps us cool, dry, and focused—and that’s exactly where the Patagonia Caped Merganzer Hat shines. With its lightweight design and integrated neck cape, this sun hat shields us from intense rays and light moisture, whether we’re floating downstream, glassing a ridgeline, or hiking in desert heat.
Built with a durable, 100% recycled polyester stretch ripstop, the Caped Merganzer delivers 40+ UPF sun protection with a PFAS-free DWR finish to shed light rain or river spray. The soft, moisture-wicking sweatband features miDori™ bioSoft for next-to-skin comfort, and a floating EVA brim holds shape without adding weight. Dial in the fit with the elastic chin strap and forget it’s even there—we wear it from dawn patrol to golden hour.
