Sunday Afternoons says:

With a stylish silhouette, the Ultra Escape Boonie is UPF 50+ sun rated, so you know you’ll be protected wherever your adventures lead. A simple adjustable sizing system helps it fit just right and crushable packability so you can take it anywhere. Made using bluesign® certified fabric with a PFC-free water repellent finish on the main body, mesh, and wicking sweatband, Sunglass Lock™ keeps glasses in place when not on your face.

Our Verdict

Sunday Afternoons hats offer incredible performance and we don’t say that lightly! Sunday Afternoons are committed to designing headgear that protect the wearer from the Sun and they achieve this in spades.

The Ultra Escape Boonie is a high wicking hat with high strength sun protection.  The wide brim around the hat combined with the UPF 50+ sun rating and mesh mean that it excels in warm conditions. It’s easy to adjust to the wearers head as it has a tightening strap on the back of the hat. The hat also features a sunglasses lock so you can safely keep your sunglasses on top of the brim without worrying that they will fall off.

We particularly like that the hat is packable. The brim is designed to crush down so it doesn’t damage it’s shape when stored in your pack or pocket.
