A waterproof hat designed for regular sailing in wet weather.
For your regular sailing outings in the rain, this waterproof hat can be worn instead of a hood to keep your ears clear. Its wide brims drain water away from the neck to keep you dry.

- We measure the resistance of a fabric to water pressure in mm of water column (based on ISO 811). The higher the water pressure withstood by the fabric, the more waterproof it is. Here are the waterproofing ratings: Component resistant to water pressure of 5000 mm after ageing (5 washes). This equates to 5,000 Schmerber average pressure exerted by the water during rain. The hat's waterproof was tested in a rain shower with 100 litres of water/sqm/hour for 3 hours.
- Waterproof components (water runs off the fabric) - 100% waterproof seams
- A fabric is water-repellent when water slides off the surface of the fabric, without seeping in. It won't become waterlogged and remains lightweight and breathable. The water-repellent properties are achieved with a treatment applied to the external side of the fabric, but in practice these properties can be altered. The water-repellent properties can be reactivated by putting the hat in a tumble dryer for 10 minutes at low temperature.
- Drying is a crucial phase in reactivating the water repellent treatment. We recommend that you lay your hat flat on a clothes rack and leave it out to air-dry. Caution: never dry your hat directly on a radiator. Then place them in the tumble dryer on a short synthetics cycle, i.e. 10 to 15 minutes, before turning it back the right way round. Caution: do not over-dry the garment.
