By Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

You don't have to be in Bora Bora to enjoy the benefits of this breathable, sweat-wicking head band, sun-protecting hat—but no complaints if you are, right? A high-tech, highly functional hat that features mesh venting for added breathability. The UPF 50 materials block harmful UVA and UVB rays. An adjustable neck cord, and adjustable sizing toggle at the back allow for tailored fitting. Columbia offers our Bora Bora Booney Hat with multiple colors. One size fits all.
100% Nylon
Imported
Drawstring closure
Hand Wash Only
OMNI-SHADE: UV protection at its best, Omni-Shade materials block UVA and UVB rays to help prevent sunburns and long-term skin damage. The tight weave construction offers lasting sun protection against the full spectrum of sunshine
OMNI-WICK: The ultimate moisture wicking technology for the outdoors. Omni-Wick quickly moves moisture from the skin into the fabric where it spreads across the surface to quickly evaporate—for a dry fit that keeps you cool and comfortable
ALWAYS SUNNY: This sun hat features built-in UPF 50 shielding, an ultra-sweat-wicking headband, and a mesh vent panel for those hot outdoor days
This hat has an adjustable cord around the base so it will fit any adult head. I'm a 7 1/2, it fits loose, medium or tight, however I adjust it. Made of polyester
The brim contains a thin layer of flexible plastic sandwiched between two layers of fabric (the whole brim is 1.3mm thick). It is highly flexible, but does not hold its shape at all when compared to baseball-style sports cap of similar construction (thin, synthetic fabric & plastic-reinforced brim). If you ever machine wash it, fold it, or put it inside a gear bag, the brim will take on a wavy, warped potato-chip shape. It still works fine, but the look quickly becomes goofy & disheveled: more Hillbilly than Crocodile Dundee.
I have a shaved head and have never gotten burned when wearing this hat. It offers full protection. The neck is not covered enough for protection in all areas if you are wondering.
The hat does flatten in a suitcase. I have folded it as well.
