This is similar to the ever-popular UVeto Australia Kalahari Hat, the only difference being, that it doesn't wrap around the front of the face and close at the front. You still get the same UPF 50+ protection, a long rear and side flap, a curved peak like a proper cap and a great range of colours.

This is truly an affordable and fashionable way of keeping your head, neck, face and ears protected from the harsh UV in this country. These are great for farmers, gardeners, beachgoers, thrill-seekers and adventurers, the list goes on.

The UVeto Kala Hat is perfect for fishing, whether you're on the shore or a boat. The UVeto Australia Kala Hat offers:

• UPF 50+ protection

• A great range of colours

• Super lightweight and comfortable to wear

• Adjustable head strap to fit heads large and small

• Soft towelling headband

• Releasable back panel for increased ventilation

• Available in durable Micro Mesh or Cotton

We recently conducted breathability studies on the micro mesh and 100% cotton for our large mining customer. To do this test, we sent material samples to Hong Kong and a laboratory conducted water vapour transmission testing of the samples. This testing found that the two materials breathe almost identical (965 micro-mesh vs 961 cotton - g/25h/m2 water vapour transmission.) So, If you're after a product that will breathe like 100% cotton, yet has all the hard-wearing properties of polyester, we suggest the micro-mesh version. Not only will the micro-mesh product last longer, but it will also keep its colour for longer, it's quicker to dry and will generally be more robust than the 100% cotton variety.
