What is the Aerofoil Boonie?
It's a quick-drying boonie-style hat providing ample sun protection for outdoor adventures in hot and exposed environments.
What is it made of?
The Aerofoil Boonie Hat is made of Exolite 45, a lightweight softshell material.
Exolite is a durable, double-weave softshell made with polyamide and elastane. Lab-tested and field-tested, Exolite is proven to be incredibly durable, completely windproof and worthy of wear in any season.
The material is finished with a fluorocarbon-free DWR (durable water repellent), which provides water-resistant protection, encouraging light rain to bead off instead of soaking in.
Fluorocarbons, also known as PFCs, are chemical compounds initially used in DWRs. These compounds can't break down, so once they reach nature via factory water waste, they stay in the environment and contaminate living organisms, working their way up the food chain. Fluorocarbons are suspected carcinogens and have been known to affect reproduction and hormone production in mammals. Therefore, many leading brands in the outdoor industry are prioritising cutting out the use of these chemicals entirely to contribute to a greener manufacturing process.
What are the features?
A wide, stiffened brim provides shade from the sun without hindering peripheral vision or becoming annoyingly floppy as you move.
A rear cord adjuster and removable, adjustable chin strap keep the hat secure and help deliver a precise and comfortable fit with every wear.
