This cap has made a big difference in my flats fishing. The black underbrim cuts glare perfectly, and the mesh sides keep me cool even on long days. The fit is comfortable and stays in place without slipping.
Brian Coleman –
Great design for spotting fish on flat waters. The DWR finish holds up well in sun and rain. A little stiff at first, but breaks in quickly. Would recommend to anyone fishing in open water.

I’ve used this cap for several weeks now and it’s become my go-to. The breathability is excellent, and the glare reduction helps me see fish more clearly. Simple, effective, and durable.
