Class V Brimmer Hat - TNF Black - UPF 40+ Sun Protection

Our review of the Class V Brimmer Hat - TNF Black finds it a dependable outdoor bucket hat for day hikes, beach days and travel where sun protection matters. The single biggest reason to buy is the certified SUN SHIELD performance: with The Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation and UPF 40+ protection, it blocks harmful rays while remaining lightweight and packable. The hat balances protection and simple outdoor styling, and the partially recycled fabric adds an eco-conscious edge without affecting comfort.

Key Features

• Sun protection: UPF 40+ fabric and the Skin Cancer Foundation seal deliver trusted coverage for face and ears on sunny days.
• Sustainable fabric: Made from a partially recycled nylon blend so you get durability and a lower environmental footprint.
• Lightweight construction: FlashDryTM technology and thin materials keep the hat breathable and comfortable for long wear.
• Outdoor ready details: A floatable brim and adjustable chin strap with a recycled-material toggle help the hat stay secure in wind or on the water.
• All-weather use: Designed to perform rain or shine so it works as a go-to option for variable conditions.

Who It's For

The Class V Brimmer is ideal for hikers, anglers and casual travelers who need reliable sun protection without a heavy hat. It suits people who value lightweight gear and sustainable materials, and who want a simple, classic bucket silhouette that covers face and ears.

It is less appropriate for those seeking a structured fashion hat or a very large fit; some customers report mixed feedback on fit for larger heads, so anyone needing an oversized crown should try it on before relying on it for long trips.
