Airflo Classic Hat
The Airflo Classic Hat is a wide-brimmed sun hat designed for outdoor activities, featuring a flat-topped crown and a textured mesh ventilation band for airflow. Constructed from recycled nylon with a water-repellent polyurethane coating, it floats if dropped in water and provides UPF sun protection by blocking UV rays. An adjustable cord secures the fit, and the hat is designed in Canada.

Product Insights
The Airflo Classic Hat from Tilley weighs only 4 ounces for all-day comfort, with a 3/4-inch mesh band that vents heat and draws in breezes while maintaining UPF 50+ sun protection. It floats when dry and sheds light rain, but can sink when waterlogged in heavy waves, and is not fully waterproof — a tradeoff for its lightweight, breathable design. A polyurethane coating on the green variant enhances durability without reapplication, though hand washing is required to preserve it. Backed by a lifetime guarantee and bluesign® approval, it offers lower environmental impact than virgin nylon.
