K88K Lab — Breakwater Collection
Headwind Trucker

Some days you don't need a shell. You just need a hat that keeps up.

The Headwind Trucker is the Breakwater's lighter half, built on the same DNA, stripped down for the sessions where impact protection takes a back seat to speed, airflow, and not thinking twice about what's on your head. Same laser-perforated fabric. Same removable gaiter with two wear modes. Same epoxy-coated magnets on the flippable visor. Same reflective cording keeping you visible from every angle.

What's different is what's not there. No protective shell means less weight, more breathability, and a lower profile that wears as naturally off the water as on it.

Check your head. Know your session. Choose accordingly.

The elastic chin cord pulls down, toggles tight under the chin, and tucks back up when you don't need it; no hardware, no hassle, no excuses for leaving it behind

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.

2

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.

3

Reflective Branding & Non-Glare Bill

High-visibility reflective accents across every panel with a flat two-fingered snap closure: day or night, you'll be seen from every angle. Matte non-glare fabric lining under the bill 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.

6

Universal Fit

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.

No Kook Left Behind

From the lineup to the landing zone — this hat was built for all of it.
