Key features & specs

How it compares

When compared to traditional heavy-duty sou'westers or PVC rain caps, this Comhats model offers significantly better breathability thanks to its moisture-wicking mesh lining. Unlike stiff felt hats or fashion-only bucket hats, the 100% waterproof polyester construction ensures that water beads off immediately rather than soaking into the fabric. It bridges the gap between technical outdoor gear and casual everyday accessories.

What to know before buying

1. Check your head measurement as the adjustable drawstring allows for a custom fit within the 56-58cm range.
2. The hat is designed to be crushed; you can fold it into a small triangle for storage without permanent creasing.
3. While the fabric is 100% waterproof, the ventilation mesh is covered by a flap to ensure you stay dry in heavy downpours.
4. Clean the hat by hand-washing with cool water to maintain the integrity of the waterproof coating.
5. The chin strap is detachable, providing a cleaner look for city wear while remaining functional for windy coastal conditions.
