Hawaiian Boardsox Surf Hat + Hard Shell Instert
Description
The Hawaiian surf hat paired with our Hard Shell Insert for a firmer crown and added impact protection.
Slot the shell insert into the Hawaiian and you get crown protection for crowded breaks and shallow water, without losing the tropical look or the wide brim shade. A smart pick for travelling surfers and beginners.
- Includes the Boardsox Hard Shell Insert for impact protection in the crown
- Soft rear brim that stays down while you paddle, no flipping up over your eyes
- Hard front brim that holds shape through duck dives and cuts glare
- Neoprene chin strap and toggle so it stays on through wipeouts
- Adjustable head strap for a secure fit
- UPF 50+ AU/NZ rated sun protection
- Removable neck flap for extra coverage
- Mesh drainage vents so water flows straight out
- Quick drying, salt resistant fabric
Designed and tested in real Australian surf by the Boardsox crew.

No fly offs. No flop.
Pop the insert in for a structured crown that holds its shape in the surf and the wind. Take it out for a soft, packable hat on the road. One hat, two moods.
