Ocean & Earth Bingin Soft Peak Surf Hat – Black

Stay protected in the water with the Ocean & Earth Bingin Soft Peak Surf Hat in Black, a lightweight, secure and comfortable surfing sun hat designed specifically for use in the waves.

Featuring UPF 50+ sun protection, a shallow soft brim, quick-drying technical fabric and padded neoprene straps, the Bingin is designed to provide reliable sun coverage without restricting your vision while paddling or surfing.

UPF 50+ Sun Protection

The Bingin Soft Peak Surf Hat provides UPF 50+ sun protection, making it ideal for longer sessions when your face, head and ears are exposed to strong UV.

It's a practical choice for surfing, SUP, foiling and other watersports where a conventional cap isn't secure enough for use in the water.

Shallow Soft Brim

A key feature of the Bingin is its shallow soft brim.

Unlike the stiff peak used on the Ocean & Earth Indo Surf Hat, the Bingin uses a softer, lower-profile brim designed to provide sun protection while maintaining clear vision when you're surfing.

The flexible design also makes the hat comfortable and easy to manage through duck dives and wipeouts.

Lightweight Quick-Drying Fabric

Ocean & Earth constructs the Bingin using lightweight, quick-drying technical fabric, helping the hat remain comfortable when repeatedly getting wet.

Integrated mesh vents release water after duck dives and wipeouts, preventing the hat from unnecessarily holding water while you're surfing.

Padded Ear Protection

The Bingin incorporates padded neoprene straps with mesh ear panels, providing comfort and flexibility while also helping protect your ears from sun exposure.

That's particularly valuable during long surf sessions, when the ears can receive significant UV exposure.

Secure Adjustable Fit

An adjustable chin strap with quick-release snap buckle helps keep the Bingin securely positioned in the water.

A separate shock cord and toggle adjustment allows you to fine-tune the fit around your head. Ocean & Earth also provides the option of attaching wetsuit zipper webbing for additional security.

Padded Neoprene Headband

Inside the hat is a padded neoprene headband, adding comfort and helping provide a secure fit during longer sessions.

Combined with the chin strap and shock-cord adjustment, this gives the Bingin multiple ways to keep the hat comfortably positioned while you're surfing.

Why You'll Love It

The Ocean & Earth Bingin Soft Peak Surf Hat in Black is designed specifically for surfers rather than simply being a conventional sun hat with a chin strap added.

The combination of a soft low-profile brim, UPF 50+ protection, quick-drying fabric, padded ear panels, adjustable chin strap and water-release vents makes it particularly well suited to regular sessions in the water.

For surfers looking for a surf hat in New Zealand, the Bingin is a strong option if you prefer the flexibility and lower profile of a soft brim rather than the stiff peak of the Indo.
