Product Customer Reviews
A fantastic hat. Used it Turkey in 40+ degree heat. The wide brim gives excellent protection.
The perfect sun hat, nice and light with a wide brim that keeps the sun off the back of my neck as well as out of my eyes!
Very practical against the sun!
Comfortable to wear
poor material and model, it doesn't protect from the heat and it's made of too light fabric
Very comfortable to wear
Good hat suitable for heat and sun, light, although not very rigid in the wind.
Good product
Useful when walking on untree-lined roads
Very comfortable
Excellent! Lightness, protection...... Everything is there..
Meets my need.
Suitable
Does the job, super easy to store
The wide brim provides good protection from the sun. But despite the vents, my head still sweated a lot! Comfortable to wear, easy to wash, and adjustable.

Additional Product Information
Composition
Main fabric: 86.0% Polyamide, 14.0% Elastane ; Inner fabric: 100.0% Polyester
What criteria must a cap meet in order to qualify as ”uv-protective”?
UV protection standards for hats are very specific: The fabric must of course be anti-UV (UPF index greater than 50), but this is not enough to claim the finished product is anti-UV. The hat must also have a wide brim and flap which fully protects the face and the back of the neck. The Trek 500 hat meets these requirements so you can go hiking with complete peace of mind: you are perfectly protected!
How is polyamide more resistant?
Polyamide offers excellent abrasion and tear resistance. Moreover, microorganisms and mould don’t trouble the synthetic fibre!
How do you measure a fabric's quick drying capacity?
The product is machine washed 3 times then line dried, then we immerse it in water and measure how long it takes to get back to its pre-wash weight.This hat scored an impressive 5 out of 5 stars, returning to its pre-washed weight in less than 80 minutes!
Product testing
The entire design team was able to test this hat during frequent excursions in the Mont Blanc mountain range, where Forclaz – Decathlon's trekking brand – has its offices.
