Product Overview
The Sealtex Fisherman Hat is a technical necessity for any professional working in the unpredictable British elements. Engineered to provide comprehensive protection, this hat ensures that rain is kept well away from the face and neck, allowing you to focus on the task at hand rather than the weather. Its construction is focused on reliability, offering a barrier that is as sturdy as it is functional.
Designed with the specific needs of outdoor trades in mind, it features an integrated neck cover and multiple adjustment points. This ensures the hat remains a fixed part of your uniform even when the wind attempts to prove otherwise, providing peace of mind during coastal or site-based work.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Maintaining a professional appearance is vital for any business, and this fisherman hat is well-suited for both print and embroidery. For a traditional and durable finish, embroidery is the preferred choice for company logos or individual names, providing a textured, high-quality look that stands up to heavy use.
If your branding requires larger, more prominent designs, our high-definition printing is an excellent alternative. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford. Having been established in 1976, MyWorkwear has decades of experience in ensuring your branding is applied with precision, maintaining the professional standards your business demands.
Key Features
- Fully Waterproof: Tested to a 5,000mm waterproof rating, the fabric provides a dependable shield against heavy rainfall.
- Integrated Neck Cover: The extended design prevents water from entering the back of your jacket, keeping you dry in driving rain.
- Adjustable Fit: With both back neck and under-chin adjustments, the hat can be tailored to fit securely, even in gale-force conditions.
- High Tensile Strength: The material is exceptionally durable and resistant to tearing, ensuring it survives the rough-and-tumble of a working environment.
Design & Performance
The hat is constructed from Sealtex Classic fabric, which utilizes a 100% Polyester Tricot base with a PU coating. This combination results in a lightweight fabric that offers a complete moisture barrier without the bulk of traditional waterproof gear. The tricot knit provides a degree of flexibility, ensuring the hat moves with the wearer rather than feeling restrictive.
Internally, the hat is lined with a polyester tricot knit, which offers a soft finish against the skin and prevents the clammy feeling often associated with waterproof accessories. The performance of this hat is defined by its ability to remain lightweight while offering the tear resistance required for heavy-duty outdoor applications.
Use Cases
This hat is ideally suited for agricultural workers, construction crews, and maritime professionals who are exposed to the elements for extended periods. It is also a sensible addition to the kit of any site manager or surveyor who needs to maintain a professional appearance while remaining protected from the rain.
Why MyWorkwear
MyWorkwear has been a trusted name in the industry since 1976. From our base in Telford, we have spent nearly half a century perfecting the art of workwear supply and customisation. We understand the technical requirements of different trades, ensuring that every product we provide—from hats to high-visibility gear—meets the rigorous demands of the modern workplace.
Practical Advice
For the most effective protection, we recommend adjusting the chin strap before heading into high-wind areas. This prevents the wind from getting under the brim and lifting the hat. It is designed to work seamlessly with high-collared waterproof jackets, where the neck cover can overlap the collar for a complete seal against the rain.
Caring for your product
To preserve the waterproof integrity and technical performance of the PU coating, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. High-temperature washes can cause the waterproof layer to delaminate from the polyester base, rendering the hat ineffective.
Bleaching agents must be avoided at all costs, as they will degrade the synthetic fibres and strip away the protective coating. For the same reason, this item is not suitable for dry cleaning, as the harsh chemical solvents will damage the structural integrity of the Sealtex fabric.
We strongly advise against tumble drying, as the intense heat will melt the PU coating. Instead, the hat should be drip line dried to ensure it retains its shape and performance. Finally, do not iron this product, as direct heat will destroy the waterproof membrane and any applied branding.
