Pakbar bucket hat

The weave on this straw hat is genuinely tight and even, and it blocked the sun way better than my old cotton cap. It survived being squished into my carry-on for a weekend trip and bounced right back into shape.

Wore this all over Portugal last week and it never once felt heavy or sweaty, even in 90-degree afternoons. The Toquilla straw breathes way better than the cotton bucket hat I used to wear, and it rolled up into my daypack without losing its shape.

The weave is so tight and even, I can tell it’ll hold its shape for years. Wore it walking around town for three hours and my scalp never felt a hint of burn.
