$34.99
Description
BUOY WEAR is Back in Black as the first step in our completely re-engineered product line. Our floating hat gives sun protection and confidence you will never lose your hat in the water, due to its patented floating technology. With one of our most requested colors with a new vibrant blue logo and some additional features as we continue to get better and incorporate the feedback of water people of all types.
Made from fabric that is lightweight, quick dry, UV and water-resistant, the BUOY floating hat delivers sun coverage and a secure fit for all water related activities.
The cap’s floating core is 100% waterproof and antimicrobial, making it the essential accessory for all water sports enthusiasts.

Note: BUOY WEAR’s floating hats break in like a baseball glove or a pair of patent leather shoes; at first it may feel a little stiff, but once stretched and shaped, the hat can be worn comfortably for hours.
Warning: This BUOY WEAR hat is not a PFD. Our technology will save your hat from sinking. It will not save you (nor another person or pet).
Nick’s Take:
I took this hat down to Baja and rode it hard. I really like this hat and without it I would have lost 2 pairs of sunglasses instead of just one. no longer do you have to tie your sunnies to your shirt or whatnot… these bad bois float. I slip my Sunny retainer (a strip of duct tape) around the snaps and never have to worry about losing either hat nor glasses again. Conveniently my hat and glasses stay together after the session too when things often get misplaced at the local watering hole.
High Vis, High Float. Good Combo. The hat is comfortable and a good shape for heads. The deep pocket makes it stay on even when ripping into the wind.
Would recommend it for all wind sports and sports on or near water, but it will not replace a helmet. best for the sunny chill days and to leave it in the whip when there’s smoke on the water.

No Tracking Info Displays on Shipper's Website ...
It can take 48 hours for tracking info to display. Rest assured, your package is en route. Make sure to enter the BOL # (Bill of Lading) with no spaces in the tracking field.
Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico?
Yes, we have shipped to these locations for decades by quote. Please share your address, the item(s) you needed shipped, and if an airport cargo depot pickup is possible.
Canada and International Locations?
We ship to Canada lots, and the Caribbean some. Get a quote. We rarely ship items to Europe, Asia, and Australia as it's spendy. Quotes for international orders do not include import duties.
How Can I Be Sure My Board Arrives Intact?
Opt for our $99 "To Nearby Airport" shipping option at checkout. It relies on passenger planes, and offers our safest delivery. More far below.

We'll work with our shipping partner to get you a repair credit or a replacement board. Please send photos of the damaged board (and box) to shipping@bigwinds.com.
My board made it ...
But no foot straps, fins, or vent plug?
Look closely through the packaging. Fins, foot straps and vent plugs are often concealed in a sheath of cardboard that's easy to discard. Also, check inside the board box, and shake the box to be sure. You'll likely dislodge a small box containing the missing items.
