Sure to be the envy of ancient Egyptian kings and sun-scorched paddlers alike, Kokatat’s take on the pharaoh cap does more than just cover your head—it creates a microclimate of cool shade. Made from lightweight UPF 30+ rated fabric, the Convertible Cap sports a wide folding brim; mesh vent panels and sweatband; and a removable, well-ventilated headdress that provides unrivaled sun protection for your neck, ears and face.
