Sun protection is paramount on the water, and Shimano’s new range of Headwear is designed to keep you safe, cool, and comfortable in demanding situations. All Shimano headwear is constructed using premium quality materials with attention to key high end design details and this season there are four new sun-smart designs to keep the sun off on the water. The New Shimano Technical Outdoor Hat is a hybrid design built off the well loved Shimano Wide Brim and Legionnaire models. Built from UPF50 * rated polyesterday, the brim at the front of the hat has a wide 180 degree reach which blends into a legionnaire flap to achieve maximum cover at the back of the neck. This hat features hidden ventilation panels in the top to keep cool, and has two handy elastic loops to store sunglasses off your head.
