Size guide

Surf Hat:

Fully and seamlessly adjustable both to widen and to tighten.

Size cm inches
S/M
53 - 58 neutral: 56
21 - 22¾ neutral: 22
L/XL
58 - 62 neutral: 59
22¾ - 24 neutral: 23¼
  • To measure your head circumference, use a soft tape or a piece of string. Measure around your head above your ears and mid-forehead.

  • If in doubt, consider that L/XL has more volume and will sit deeper, while S/M will feel more snug and sit slightly higher on the forehead, allowing for more peripheral vision. Snug is always better for withstanding heavy surf.

  • Unisex Sizing

    Our designs are crafted to comfortably fit and adjust to all head shapes and genders.

How it works

Three details that make it stay put

  1. Adjust the strap, once

    Both sizes use a fully adjustable, non-stretch strap. Dial it in for a snug fit and it holds, session after session — no re-tightening mid-surf.

  2. Tuck it away on land

    The strap uses two fully adjustable points, one at the back, another under the chin. Loosen the chin strap and tuck it up out of the way, and your surf hat is now a streetwear cap.

  3. Flip the peak for paddling

    The peak is bendable, not floppy. It flips up so you can see the set coming, then jumps back into shape for shade once you're up and riding.

Everything packed into this hat

Kaiola surf hat features: 3D mesh front for airflow, drainage and padding; flexible peak that flips up for paddling, black underneath to cut glare; adjustable back closure that fits thick ponytails; deeper fit at the back; low-profile Duraflex buckle; near-invisible chinstrap with sliding adjuster
