Reversible UPF Bucket Hats

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Columbia’s Reversible Bucket Hat is Versatile, Stylish, and Functional

— June 9, 2022 — Fashion
UPF bucket hats can be life savers, especially during the summer months when the sun is most intense. Columbia Sportswear—known for its ultra-affordable activewear and its innovative, multi-tasking fabrics—features the Summerdry™ Reversible Bucket Hat. Equipped with Omni-Shield™ advanced repellency and Omni-Shade™ UPF 50 sun protection, this product is ideal for travelers, sports enthusiasts, individuals who work outside, or those frequently on the go. Both proprietary fabric technology unique to the Columbia brand, Omni-Shield™ ensures that the hat quickly repels water, while Omni-Shade™ provides superior coverage and comfort.

Columbia makes its playful UPF bucket hats available in two colorways—the Nocturnal Typhoon Bloom Multi pattern with the Icy Morning colorway on the reverse, and the White Leafy Lines pattern with White on the reverse.
