Description
The Scala Skyebar is built for the "all-weather adventurer." Utilizing tarp cloth, this hat solves the problem of flimsy straw or lightweight fabric hats failing during rugged outdoor use. The 3-inch brim provides a balanced "sweet spot"—wide enough for shade, but short enough to prevent it from catching the wind constantly.
Experience a hat that "grows with your adventures." Because of the shapeable wire brim, you can adjust the look from a flat, western-style profile to a more dipped, safari-style curve. Whether you are trekking through brush, sitting by the lake, or just working in the yard, the Skyebar delivers a resilient, protective, and unmistakably rugged aesthetic.
FAQs
Is the camo band removable?The camo band is typically a fixed design element of the Skyebar model, adding to its adventure-ready look.
Can I wear this in the rain? Yes. The oilskin finish provides good water resistance for light rain or misty conditions. If it gets soaked, let it air dry naturally—avoid placing it directly on a radiator or near a heat source.
How do I reshape it if it gets crushed? Because the brim is wire-reinforced, you can simply use your hands to straighten or curl the edge back into your preferred shape.
