To keep the water's glare out of our eyes and the sun's rays from scorching our ears and nose while kayaking, we strap on Patagonia's Baggies Brimmer Hat. Whether we're slowly tracking through smooth, still water or navigating a bony river, we keep cool under the wide brim's shade and the crown's airy mesh lining. Any roostertails that find us simply roll right off the water-resistant fabric.
