Katin Cast Off Hat
The Cast Off Hat pairs a 100% recycled nylon build with a custom Katin print, making it a lightweight, easy-care option for anyone searching for a katin hat that pulls double duty on the water and off it.
Build and Materials
- 100% recycled nylon
- 5-panel hat construction
- Mid-crown, unstructured fit
- Visor rope detail
- Snapback closure
The unstructured mid-crown keeps the shape relaxed rather than boxy, and the visor rope adds a distinct finishing detail against the recycled nylon shell.
Who It Is For
Because it is built from recycled nylon rather than cotton, the Cast Off Hat holds up well to sun, salt air, and the kind of quick-drying gear rotation that boat days and beach trips call for in South Florida. It packs down easily thanks to the unstructured crown, so it travels well without losing shape, and the lightweight nylon shell means it does not add bulk to a beach bag or boat bag the way a heavier cotton hat can. It is also an easy pick for anyone who prefers a lower-maintenance hat over one that needs careful hand washing.
Fit and Care
The snapback closure adjusts to fit a range of head sizes without needing to know an exact hat size ahead of time. Since the shell is recycled nylon rather than a natural fiber, it can be wiped down or rinsed and air dried rather than requiring careful hand washing.
About Katin
Katin was founded in 1954 when Nancy and Walter Katin opened a small boat cover business in Surfside, California, just north of Huntington Beach. The brand became a staple of Southern California beach culture and holds the title of one of California's first brands to make surf trunks, carrying that focus on durable goods into pieces like the Cast Off Hat.
