Packable + water friendly.

The Venture Air 5 Panel Lightweight Hat is the ultimate adventure companion. Laser cut holes offer superior breathability & the plush headband will absorb and wick away sweat. Did we mention this hat is amphibious? Go ahead, dunk it, swim in it, the water is your friend!

It's travel friendly, too. The flexible, packable bill allows you to roll this thing up like a burrito and stash it in your bag without compromising its shape.

To dial in the perfect fit and add comfort, we added a slight stretch to the nylon cinch system. We won't make any guarantees, but we'd like to think this hat will be the first one you grab for your next adventure.

Favorite Backpacking Hat

My new favorite backpacking hat. It is very packable and works well with my backpacking hoodies. Very breathable and yet keep the mosquitoes from biting my bald head.

Excellent hat

Excellent hat, love the light weight and flow of air through the hat. I ran a 28 mile race less than a week after receiving the hat, it performed just as advertised. Never had sweat in my face, and I'm a heavy sweater! It dripped off the brim, just as advertised. 100% recommend. It's worth the price.

I love this hat

I love this hat. Fit is slightly larger than I’d prefer, but I do have a small head. It looks great and travels well in a suitcase. Customer service was super helpful with switching it out for the color I wanted. The hat is great for every day adventure and travel, but I would love to see Ketl put out a tighter-fitting crushable run cap.

Great hat!!

Truly a fantastic hat - super breathable and comfortable, dried pretty quickly, and is super packable. Taken it on trail runs and kayaking and the beach, and it’s been great. Only small gripe is that it’s pretty big - wish it were a touch shorter/shallower.

This hat rules

I’m not a hat guy by any means, but this thing has been my go to daily hat this summer. It’s lightweight and the minimal design aesthetic make it that much more attractive. I highly recommend!

Best hat I own!

Incredibly comfortable travel and running hat. Way better than Ceil. My favorite part of the hat is the stretchy portion of the headband making it comfortable to snug down tight when it’s windy. Super well done hat.

Amazing Hat

This is my new go to hat for trail running. It's extremely lightweight and comfortable and the soft headband keeps the sweat out of my face. The elastic closure system is also a nice touch and adds to the comfort of the hat. I'll be buying more in other colors.

Awesome hat!

Awesome lightweight hat. Loved it but gave it to a kid in Northern Uganda: Abraham who has Sickle Cell Disease and walks 1 hour to school every day and needed cover from the sun. He wore his best clothes that day because he knew we were filming. But he didn't own a hat. Some kid in Adjumani is grateful for this lightweight hat where temps reach 115. He needed it more than me. May order another one for myself.

This hat is great

This hat is great. I have it in all the colors now. It is lightweight, breathable and comfortable. The bill is flexible and so it can be stuffed in a pocket. There is also a unique loop on the back of the hat that allows it to be hung from your tent or on your pack.

Perfect for the Camino

I bought this hat for hiking the Camino in Spain where it’s hot and humid. Glad I did. Super comfortable and at the end of the day you can just rinse it in the sink and hang it out to dry in the sun for a short while and it’s ready to go again.

Finally, a deep fitting 5 panel style hat

Finally, a deep fitting 5 panel style hat. Typical 5 panels feel like I’m wearing a yamaka but I love the style so ive bought many only to be disappointed. I’ve got a noggin on the larger side at around 7 5/8” and this fits so good. My wife is going to kill me when I buy the other two colors

Does this have any active UV blockage, or just passive?
