K88K Lab — Breakwater Collection
Headwind Bucket

More brim. Less weight. Same commitment.

The Headwind Bucket takes everything the Breakwater Bucket delivers and sheds the shell for the days when you're chasing coverage over protection. Wide brim. Laser-perforated crown. Removable gaiter that deploys in seconds and stows just as fast. All components hypoallergenic, water-repellent, and rated SPF 50+.

It's the hat for the long downwind runs, the all-day fishing trips, the hikes that turn into more than you planned for. Light enough to forget you're wearing it. Built well enough that you'll notice when you're not.

Check your head. Then enjoy the ride.

The elastic chin cord system pulls down from the bill-crown transition, toggles tight under the chin for full lockdown, and tucks back up when conditions calm — adjustable, removable, and always ready.

Flippable Magnetic Visor

Upgraded

Epoxy-coated rare-earth magnets fully resistant to salt, water, and the elements. Flip up for full field of view or hang on any metal surface. Patent pending.

Elastic Chin Cord System

Elastic cording runs along the bill-crown transition and pulls down to secure under the chin. A toggle adjusts tension for a locked-in fit, then tucks back up to the visor area when conditions ease. Adjustable, removable, always ready.

Reflective Branding & Wide Brim Coverage

Extended brim delivers full-perimeter sun protection — face, ears, and neck covered from every angle. Reflective accents across every panel keep you visible day or night. Matte non-glare underside eliminates reflected light for cleaner sight lines on the water.

4

Sun & Weather Protective Neck Gaiter

Upgraded

Both the hat and gaiter are laser perforated for breathability, improved hearing, and water drainage. Two wear modes: thread the chin strap through the eyelets to cup the ears for maximum sun and wind protection, or wear the chin strap on the inside and let the gaiter flow freely. Deploys and stows in seconds.

5

SPF 50+ Waterproof Fabric

Oval cording for all-day comfort and easy adjustability — no pressure points, no slipping. Reflective weave ensures 360° visibility from every angle, day or night. All components are hypoallergenic, water-repellent, and rated SPF 50+ so everything touching your skin is as clean as it is functional.

Universal Fit

New

Rear locking tab and webbing adjust for a custom fit across a wide range of head sizes. Comfortable all day, on the water or off it.
