What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I’ve fit a lot of kids in sun hats, and this one stands out because it floats, dries fast, and adjusts easily. It’s the kind of hat that actually stays on through a full day outside."We rely on the Class V Brimmer Hat when long days outdoors call for dependable sun coverage that won't distract young adventurers from the fun. The North Face builds it with a lightweight nylon fabric that sheds splashes, dries quickly, and holds its shape even after plenty of pack-and-play cycles. With a wide brim that floats on water, it’s a natural pick for lake afternoons, riverbank exploring, and every muddy, sunlit moment in between. Ventilation panels help keep heat from building up, while the adjustable chinstrap stays secure when the wind picks up or the pace gets lively. UPF 50 protection keeps the focus on discovery, not sun concerns, and the soft structure means this hat crushes down easily into a daypack. It’s a simple piece of gear that supports big curiosity outdoors.
