Ocean & Earth Indo Stiff Peak Surf Hat – Navy

Stay protected through long sessions in the water with the Ocean & Earth Indo Stiff Peak Surf Hat in Navy, a purpose-built surfing sun hat offering UPF 50+ protection, a secure fit and excellent coverage from the sun.

Made from lightweight, quick-drying technical fabric, the Indo Surf Hat features a wide stiff brim designed to maintain clear vision while surfing, plus padded neoprene straps, mesh ear panels and a removable legionnaire neck flap for additional protection during extended sessions in strong sun.

UPF 50+ Sun Protection

The Indo Stiff Peak Surf Hat carries a UPF 50+ sun-protection rating, making it ideal for surfing, SUP, foiling and other watersports where you're exposed to the sun for long periods.

The wide brim provides useful shade across the face, while the mesh ear panels help protect your ears from sun exposure without completely enclosing them.

Wide Stiff Brim

Unlike a soft-brim surf hat, the Indo uses a wide stiff peak designed to maintain clear vision while you're surfing.

The brim can also be flipped up while paddling, giving you more flexibility depending on conditions and your position in the water.

This makes it particularly useful when glare is strong but you don't want a soft brim collapsing across your vision after a duck dive or wipeout.

Quick-Drying Technical Fabric

Ocean & Earth uses a lightweight, quick-drying technical fabric, helping prevent the hat from becoming unnecessarily heavy and waterlogged during a surf.

Integrated mesh vents allow water to escape after duck dives and wipeouts, while also helping with ventilation during warmer conditions.

Secure Adjustable Fit

An adjustable chin strap with quick-release buckle helps keep the Indo Surf Hat securely positioned in the water.

There's also a Velcro head adjustment for fine-tuning the fit, plus the option of attaching your wetsuit zipper webbing to the adjustment system for additional security.

Inside, a padded neoprene headband provides additional comfort during longer surf sessions.

Padded Ear Protection

The Indo features padded neoprene straps with mesh ear panels.

This combination provides a secure and comfortable fit while giving your ears additional protection from sun exposure — an area that's particularly easy to overlook during long sessions on the water.

Removable Legionnaire Neck Flap

For maximum coverage, the Indo includes a removable legionnaire flap designed to protect the back of your neck from the sun.

Ocean & Earth specifically highlights this feature for long sessions and Indo boat trips. When you don't need the flap, it can be removed and stored in the hat's internal stash pocket.

Why You'll Love It

The Ocean & Earth Indo Stiff Peak Surf Hat in Navy is designed specifically for being worn in the water rather than simply adapting a conventional sun hat for surfing.
