Description
Meet the A-Series, Fractel’s most versatile hat for hot-weather exploration. Featuring UPF 50+ panels made from recycled materials including oyster shells, along with a tuck-away neck cape, breathable mesh side panels and dual adjustability, this hat offers a secure and comfortable fit. Lightweight, sweat-wicking and quick-drying, it’s built to go the distance when the sun’s out strong.
Tired of caps that overheat or fall short on coverage? Fractel’s solved that. The main panels use Coolcore® SolarGuard™, a recycled ripstop fabric made from PET bottles and oyster shells, offering chemical-free thermoregulation and UPF 50 protection. The high side panels feature Coolcore® Breeze™ open-knit mesh for airflow, stretch and sweat-wicking ventilation where it counts.
A tuck-away cape adds optional neck protection, while the chin drawstring and rear cinch cord ensure it stays in place, whether you’re on the move or in the mountains. A sunglasses split, ponytail overlap and two-size options round out the fit.
Finished in a fresh sea blue colourway with a durable white embroidered logo, this hat is your go-to for high-summer sessions and multi-day missions alike.
