Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Full-Brim Sun Protection Built for the Beach and Beyond
The O'Neill Lancaster Boonie Hat is engineered for long days under direct sun. The wide, structured full brim wraps 360 degrees to shield your face, ears, and neck, while a UPF 50+ fabric rating blocks more than 98% of harmful UV rays. Whether you are paddling out, hiking coastal trails, or logging hours on the water, this hat keeps the sun where it belongs.
Lightweight Poly Construction
Made from 100% polyester with a lightweight poly feel, the Lancaster is built to move with you without weighing you down. Polyester resists moisture and dries quickly, making it a practical choice for humid beach environments and active outdoor use. The fabric maintains its structure session after session.
Key Features
- UPF 50+ Protection: The fabric rating confirms that more than 98% of UV radiation is blocked, meeting the standard for excellent sun protection.
- Moisture-Wicking Sweatband: An interior sweatband pulls perspiration away from the forehead to keep you comfortable through extended wear.
- Metal Mesh Eyelets: Ventilation eyelets are built into the crown panel to promote airflow and reduce heat buildup on hot days.
- Detachable Drawcord: A chin drawcord with a cord lock secures the hat in wind and chop; detach it when conditions calm down and a cleaner look suits the moment.
- O'Neill Label: Woven brand badge on the side panel. O'Neill has been shaping California surf lifestyle gear since 1952.
Who It Is For
This is a men's surf hat designed for extended outdoor exposure. It suits surfers waiting in a lineup, fishermen, hikers, and anyone who spends meaningful time outdoors and needs reliable, packable sun coverage without resorting to heavy canvas or structured straw.
Care
Spot clean or hand wash. The polyester shell dries quickly, so it is ready for the next session with minimal downtime.
