A Lightweight Hat Built to Pack and Go
The Katin Sun Down Hat is built from recycled nylon with a 5-panel unstructured fit, and the lightweight construction keeps the shape clean and packable rather than bulky, so it travels well between the water and everywhere after.
Materials and Build
It is made from 100% recycled nylon in a 5-panel unstructured design, offered in one size. The nylon build is what gives the hat its packable quality, it folds down small without holding a crease the way a stiffer structured cap would.

Who Reaches For This Hat
This is a hat for anyone who wants sun cover without carrying a bulky cap around, whether that is stashing it in a beach bag, a boat compartment, or a backpack on the way to a South Florida afternoon in the sun. The unstructured crown means it rides light rather than sitting stiff.
Fit and Care
Because it is offered in one size, the fit is meant to work across a range of head sizes without an adjustment closure. The recycled nylon shell wipes clean of salt and sweat easily and dries fast, which matters more for a hat that is going to spend time near the water than one that stays indoors.
The Katin Story
Katin got its start in 1954, when Nancy and Walter Katin opened a small boat cover business called Kanvas by Katin in Surfside, California, just north of Huntington Beach. The brand has stayed close to its Southern California roots ever since, recognized as one of California's first labels to make surf trunks and committed to durable, high-quality goods.
