Buff has launched a classic-looking yet fully waterproof take on the iconic bucket hat. 

Best-known for its famous snoods, Buff already has a broad range of hats but has added this new model to help those in wet weather stay dry. 

The Buff Rain Bucket Hat gets a fashion-friendly design but incorporates a range of features that can help fend off the elements. It’s equipped with 360-degree waterproof protection to ensure maximum rain protection, while bonded seams and an adjustable fit can help to keep your lid as dry as possible. 

The hat’s primary material is also designed to provide moisture-wicking properties while allowing airflow for a more comfortable fit. 

Buff says that the bucket hat can protect up to 5000m of water column pressure, so it should be able to deal with the very worst of the British weather. It also incorporates reflective elements to help with visibility when you’re out at night. Unisex in design, the Rain Bucket Hat is available in S/M and M/L sizes. 

Available in Solid Black and Solid Gingko colourways, the bucket hat is priced at a very friendly £23.96 via a current sale on the Buff website.
