Styled after the popular T5 and LTM5 Hats, the TH5 Hemp Hat features a semi-sloping brim for sun and rain protection and a high crown for ventilation.
Not only do our Hemp Hats look great, but they have a soft linen-like look with a 'tough as nails attitude'. In fact, Hemp is the world's strongest natural fibre. It is breathable, and naturally resistant to UV light, mold, mildew and salt water. Tilley Hemp fabric has been tested and certified as having a UPF 50+; this is the maximum UV protection rating given.
I have many hats, straw, fabric, even other Tilley hats. This is easily my favorite. The hemp fabric makes this hat lightweight and cool, even in muggy South Texas summers. It is far cooler than the most well-ventilated synthetic fiber hat. It has a rugged appearance, but is perfectly suitable for nicer occasions, like travelling abroad. I wonder if the hemp is approved for airport security everywhere...Hey, come the apocalypse, could I smoke this thing?
