FAQs
Is this hat suitable for very hot weather?
The hat features a breathable waterproof membrane, but the 100% cotton canvas material can retain heat. It is best suited for cool to mild conditions where rain or wind protection is needed. For very hot, humid weather, performance may be limited compared to lighter, more breathable materials.
How do I clean the waterproof membrane?
The waterproof membrane is integrated into the fabric layers. Clean the exterior of the hat with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can damage the membrane's integrity.
What is the pocket size?
The pocket is described as cash-sized, suitable for items like folded banknotes, a credit card, or a small key.
Can I machine wash this hat?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash in cool water with mild soap if necessary, and always air dry.
How does the adjustable bungee work?
The bungee cord is located at the back of the hat and features a toggle. Pulling the toggle tightens the cord, securing the hat to your head. Releasing or loosening the toggle allows for a more relaxed fit.
What is the primary material of the hat?
The primary outer material is 100% Cotton canvas. The hat also features an Aquasealz™ waterproof membrane and a 100% Polyester inner layer.
Is this hat unisex?
While the product description specifies 'Female' in some variants, the design and features like the adjustable bungee make it generally suitable for anyone seeking waterproof headwear.
Troubleshooting
Hat feels damp inside during heavy rain.
Ensure the hat is fully saturated by a prolonged downpour. For extremely heavy, continuous rain, some moisture ingress may occur over extended periods. Check the integrity of the waterproof membrane and seams. If there's a breach, contact customer support.
Water is not beading on the surface.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reapplication. Clean the hat thoroughly according to care instructions and use a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor gear.
The adjustable bungee cord is not holding its position.
Check the toggle mechanism for debris or damage. Ensure the cord is threaded correctly through the toggle. If the toggle is worn or broken, it may need replacement.
Hat seems too warm during moderate weather.
While designed to be breathable, cotton canvas can retain heat. For milder conditions, consider wearing the hat for shorter periods or in situations where direct sun or light rain is expected, rather than prolonged high-exertion activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility:
The SealSkinz Lynford Waterproof Canvas Bucket Hat is designed for general adult headwear compatibility. It is suitable for all genders and is intended for use in outdoor environments where protection from the elements is needed.
Care:
To maintain the waterproof properties and extend the life of your hat, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and fabric.
- Washing: Hand wash in cool water with a mild soap if necessary. Do not machine wash.
- Drying: Air dry naturally. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can degrade the waterproof coating. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods when drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
