The Kalgoorlie Wide Brim Soaka Breeze Hat is built tough, just like the legendary bushmen it's inspired by. Crafted with care right here in Australia, this hat can handle everything from rugged hikes to wild fishing expeditions, all while keeping you looking as cool as a cucumber. Its extra-wide brim offers more shade than a gum tree, ensuring your face stays protected from those blazing UV rays. And the breeze mesh? It's like having a natural air conditioner right on your head! The clever ventilation design keeps the air flowing, giving you a refreshing blast even in the hottest of summers.

The Kalgoorlie Wide Brim Soaka Breeze Hat comes with a hand-braided hatband, adding that touch of rustic Aussie charm. And let's not forget the built-in chinstrap—it's the secret weapon against gusty winds and runaway hats. 

Now, here's where the Soaka truly shines—its evaporative cooling abilities thanks to our micro-suede fabric. When the going gets hot, simply wet the fabric, and let the magic happen. As the hot air passes through the wet Soaka material, moisture evaporates, creating a refreshing cool breeze around your head. It's like having your own personal oasis in the arid Aussie desert.

So, whether you're exploring the red sands of the outback or chilling by the beach with a cold one in hand, the Kalgoorlie Wide Brim Soaka Breeze Hat is your go-to summer essential. It's proudly Aussie-made, ultra-lightweight, and ready to tackle the hottest days. The Kalgoorlie Wide Brim Soaka Breeze Hat: Wet, Wear & Wind.

All hats in our Soaka micro-suede range come with a built-in chinstrap and are ultra-lightweight - they weigh less than 150gm / 5oz.

Please Note: Fawn colour out of stock until March 2023 however we do have Fawn in the Torquay Breeze that you can see here

Material & Care

Poly-Suede 

Soaka hats are made from specially made poly-suede which is a durable synthetic fiber known for its resilience and ease of care. It has been constructed to be highly durable, quick-drying, and resistant to shrinking and stretching, making it ideal for hats

Care
  • Machine washable in cold/warm water with a mild detergent for washing; do not tumble dry.
  • Hang dry or lay flat in the shade. If necessary, use a hairdryer to remove creases caused by squashing or incorrect storage.
  • Avoid leaving your hat in a hot car.
  • A good rule of thumb is - if it's too hot to touch, then it's too hot for your hat!

Size is not consistent

A great hat, but after buying two of the same size, one is too big, and the is correct.

Don't wait so long for a new hat

The hat on the right is 25+ years old, didn't realize how worn it has become. These hats will definatly last a while. I went with the larger brim this time. Shipping to Texas was quicker than I thought it would be. Double check the sizing as the new one is slightly larger than the old one in the same size. Love these hats

Great summer hat

Wet this hat and wear to cool you while working in the summer heat. I work on and off shore. I dip my hat in the water and place it on my head an air conditioner. It works beautifully. I switched to buying Kakadu hats last year. I won’t buy a hat from any other store! Thank you for a wonderfully made products! I tell all my friends from the USA to buy from your company

Nice for summer as mesh replaces leather so will hopefully help avoid the sweats. A little on the smaller sized though. So probably would go a size larger than normal.
