Brushline Bucket

The Sunday Afternoons Brushline Bucket is a lightweight hiking bucket hat rated UPF 50+ on its main fabric. It weighs 73.7 g, has a 6.7 cm downsloping brim and mesh crown vents, a PFAS-free water-repellent finish and a crushable design. Stretch-comfort adjustable sizing, a chinstrap and a Sunglass Lock round it out.

Who it's for

Day walkers, travellers and anyone who sweats under a hat in a Queensland summer. The strategic crown ventilation keeps it breathable on the climb up to Purling Brook Falls, the downsloping brim shades your face, and it is crushable, so it stows in a daypack lid when the track turns to shade. It is a lightweight, breathable sun hat; if you want a cape for the back of the neck on exposed ridges, look at a cape hat instead.

Fit and sizing

Two sizes, measured around the crown just above the eyebrows and ears: S/M fits 54-58 cm and L/XL fits 58-62.5 cm. Inside, a stretch-comfort adjustable band with a hook lets you set the tension, and hidden elastic gives a little so it stays comfortable all day. There is a chinstrap, and a wicking sweatband sits inside.
