The perfect hat for an Australian summer?


It's summer in Australia.

You need a cold drink, a tasty snack and spot in the sun.

Oh and a good hat to protect you from those nasty rays when dining al fresco.

In a country where UV levels soar and travel is part of our DNA, it’s fitting that Flexibraid hats were invented in Australia.

These stylish hats feature a world-first braiding technique that "embodies performance, protection and packability by fusing fashion, function and feature-packed design".

My wife has been testing out a Tina M Copenhagen Bahama Fedora that looks very stylish (like the one above).

So why?

Each Flexibraid hat is lightweight, breathable, crush-resistant, UPF50+ rated, rain-resistant, colour fast, wind-resistant and packable.

The clever design means it can lie flat in a suitcase and spring back into perfect shape on arrival.

The promo material boasts Flexibraid hats can be stored anywhere your journey takes you – from caravan drawer to glove box, from boat cabin to airline carry-on.

The hats are certified by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) for UPF50+ protection, and every Flexibraid hat also features a ComfyFit internal size adjuster for a wind-resistant custom fit.

Wearing the right hat can be a key factor in staying safe from the sun.

Invented in 2017 by Rigon Headwear, an Australian family-owned company based on the NSW Central Coast, Flexibraid is the unifying thread woven across several brands:

# Tina M Copenhagen: Danish-inspired design meets Australian sensibility; elegant, minimal, sophisticated and timeless.

# ooGee Australia: Enduring design made for life outdoors; simplicity that lasts, embodying the strength and spirit of our country.

# Evoke Headwear: Performance-driven designs for golfers (some styles feature a built-in ball marker), travellers and open-air adventures.

A very nifty Christmas present option.
