Built for the Beach, Ready for the Sun
The Quiksilver Outsider Straw Lifeguard Hat is the go-to wide-brim hat for surfers, beachgoers, and anyone who takes sun protection seriously. Woven from 100% straw and shaped with the classic high-crown lifeguard silhouette, it delivers broad overhead coverage while keeping airflow moving on hot days.
A faux leather debossed Quiksilver patch on the front crown adds a clean, finished look without adding weight. The printed woven fabric lining under the brim does double duty: it cuts glare and reflected UV from below while giving the hat a sharp interior detail that sets it apart from a plain straw hat.
Outsider Straw Hat Features
- Wide brim construction for maximum overhead sun coverage
- 100% straw shell for natural breathability and lightweight wear
- Faux leather debossed Quiksilver patch on front crown
- Printed woven fabric under the brim for added sun protection and style
- Adjustable chin strap with toggle to secure the hat in wind and surf
The Lifeguard Silhouette
The lifeguard hat shape is purpose-built for outdoor endurance. The tall, structured crown keeps the straw off your head for ventilation, and the wide all-around brim shields your face, neck, and ears from direct overhead sun. The Outsider takes that proven shape and refines it with Quiksilver's surf-culture aesthetic, making it as suitable for watching a surf contest or paddling out on a calm morning as it is for a long beach day.
Adjustable Fit, Secure in the Wind
The adjustable chin strap with a slide toggle keeps the Outsider locked on your head when the onshore wind picks up. Whether you are walking the shoreline, paddling flat water, or spectating from the sand, the hat stays put without feeling restrictive. The toggle lets you dial the fit precisely without removing the hat.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a straw lifeguard hat good for?
- A straw lifeguard hat is designed for extended outdoor sun exposure. The wide all-around brim shields the face, neck, and ears from direct UV, while the woven straw construction allows air to circulate through the crown, keeping you cooler than solid-shell hats on hot beach days.
- Does the Quiksilver Outsider have a chin strap?
- Yes. The Outsider Straw Lifeguard Hat includes an adjustable chin strap with a slide toggle so you can secure the hat against wind without it blowing off.
- What is the brim lining on the Quiksilver Outsider Straw Hat?
- The underside of the brim features a printed woven fabric lining. It reduces glare and reflected UV from below the brim while adding a styled interior detail.
- Is the Quiksilver Outsider Straw Lifeguard Hat good for surfing or paddling?
- It is best suited for beach days, spectating, flat-water paddling, and outdoor activities where you are not submerging. The adjustable chin strap keeps it in place in wind, but the straw construction is not designed for repeated water submersion.
- How does the Quiksilver Outsider differ from the Pierside lifeguard hat?
- Both are Quiksilver straw lifeguard hats with a wide brim and chin strap. The Outsider features a faux leather debossed front patch and a printed woven fabric brim lining. Check the product listing for each model to compare current features and fit.
- How do I care for a 100% straw hat?
- Store the hat on a flat surface or hat stand to maintain the brim shape. Keep it away from prolonged moisture or direct crushing pressure. If the exterior gets dusty, wipe gently with a dry cloth. Do not machine wash or submerge.
- Where can I buy the Quiksilver Outsider Straw Lifeguard Hat?
- The Quiksilver Outsider Straw Lifeguard Hat is available in store and online at Island Water Sports, serving the South Florida surf community.
