Surf hats for sun protection on & off the water
A surf hat protects you from sunburn, glare, and heat exposure during long sessions. ION surf hats feature UPF 50+ protection and quick-drying materials — ideal for surfing, foiling, or SUP.
The Surf Hat and Surf Cap are performance models made for use in the water, while the Bucket Hat is a more casual, beach-style option. All are unisex, quick-drying, and designed for comfort and protection.
ION’s Surf Hat and Surf Cap come with adjustable chin straps and secure buckles, keeping them in place even during wipeouts. Both feature soft mesh ear covers for comfort and clear hearing, plus a safety loop that attaches to your wetsuit — so you’ll never lose your hat.

Absolutely. The Surf Hat and Surf Cap are perfect for any watersport — from surfing to SUP — while the Bucket Hat transitions seamlessly to beach, travel, or lifestyle use.
Yes. Made from lightweight, quick-dry fabric, they dry fast between sessions and stay comfortable even when wet.
While they don’t have built-in floatation, the material prevents them from sinking immediately. The safety loop system lets you attach your hat to your wetsuit, so it stays with you in any condition.
ION surf hats are unisex and available in multiple sizes for a secure, comfortable fit. The adjustable straps and cords make them adaptable for different head shapes.
Rinse your hat with fresh water after each session and let it air dry in the shade. Avoid machine washing or high heat to preserve the quick-dry and UV-protective properties.
