Our take · Researched, not tested

A neoprene trucker with a visor that floats. Your fishing buddy's jealous already.

By Cody Hale, cowboy hats desk Pen name, fact-checked by our team

This is a ball cap built for days on the water or out in the heat. The crown is neoprene that sheds water, laser-cut mesh panels let air through, and the sweatband wicks moisture and is antimicrobial. The visor is 2 3/4 in, camo underneath the black, and it floats if it goes overboard. Five panels, unstructured, low profile, with a snapback. Inside is a printed scripture reference, James 5:16. One size.

Cody's tip: Set the snapback with the cap on, not off. Takes two seconds and saves a headache.

Questions

What size is the Blackwater?

The store lists it as one size, which it describes as one size fits most. If you measure at either end of the size chart, a fitted hat in your size may sit better. A foam insert can take up a little room.

Is the Blackwater enough for sun?

Not on its own. A cap or peak shades your eyes but leaves your ears and neck exposed, as MD Anderson points out. Add sunscreen, or pick a brimmed hat for long days outside.

Can you wash the Blackwater?

Check the care label on the store page first. Most fabric hats take a gentle hand wash in cool water and air drying on a bowl or balled towel so the crown keeps its shape. Skip the dryer.

Can you return it?

Per American Hat Makers, as stated on their site Nov 6, 2026, it offers 90-day easy returns. Policies change, so confirm on the store's page before you order.

Do you sell this hat?

No. American Hat Makers sells it. The store button opens their product page, and we earn a commission if you buy, at no cost to you.
