Quiksilver Pierside Straw Hat

Built for the Beach, Made to Last All Day
The Quiksilver Pierside Straw Hat is a classic lifeguard-style hat built from 100% raffia straw fiber. The wide brim blocks the sun from every angle while the open-weave construction lets air move through, keeping you cooler than a solid-panel hat ever could. Whether you are posted up on the sand or out on the water, the Pierside earns its keep from first light to last wave.
Construction and Details
The hat is woven entirely from raffia straw, a natural fiber known for its light weight and flexibility. The tight, layered weave visible across the crown and brim gives the hat its structure without adding bulk. A woven Quiksilver mountain-wave logo label is sewn directly into the front of the crown, sitting flush with the straw so it does not snag or peel over time.
Adjustable Chin Strap
A cord chin strap with a sliding toggle bead runs beneath the brim. Cinch it down when the wind picks up and loosen it when conditions are calm. The strap keeps the hat in place during active days on the beach, on a boat, or in the surf lineup without requiring a full-on headband or interior sweatband.
Crown Vents
The open notched vents at the top of the crown are a defining feature of the lifeguard silhouette. They allow rising heat to escape, making the hat significantly more comfortable in direct sun than a fully closed crown would be.
Care Instructions
Hand wash only. Reshape the brim while damp and allow to air dry away from direct heat to maintain the hat's form.
