what size am i?
head size won't descriminate
surf bucket hat
5 sizes for the PERFECT fit
Each size fits head circumference up to the maximum cm displayed on the hat size.
Each plow bucket hat sizes up in intervals of 2cm.
Always size up if you are unsure.
For example:
If your head measures at 59cm SIZE UP to LARGE 60cm - not down in bucket hat sizes as it will NOT stretch.
If you size up, there are dual tightening mechanisms, pull the elastic toggle and/or the velcro strap to get a snug fit.
The bucket hats can be tightened but NOT loosened.
see the size guide images below for visual examples
surf cap
2 extremely adjustable sizes!
Surf Caps can both tighten & loosen!
This makes the size choice wayyyy easier!
If you are inbetween sizes, you can choose either, depending on the way you like your hat to look.
Extra Small (grom)
Can fit a baby up to small adult, with the strap either loosened or tightened.
A person with a Medium 58cm size head can get away with wearing the Grom size loosened.
Medium (adult)
Standard adult size, fits up to a Super Melon 62cm + when loosened.
This hat will fit anyone!
adjustable legionnaires
The legionnaires has some stretch in it, so if your surf cap needs to be loosened to fit your head, the legionnaires flap will stretch with you head size.
how do i know my size?
Measure your head!!
- Our surf hats are clearly labelled by cm diameter so that you can measure your head to know your size!
(see instructions below for visual guide)
consider how you want your hat to fit!
- Will I wear the hat both in and our of the surf?
If you overheat easily, get sensory overload with things on your head, or just know you'll wear it as a beach hat as well as surfing...
Maybe you want to size up, the hat will still fit and you can tighten it when the conditions require it!
Do you usually tighten or loosen a regular cap?
- Baseball caps are generally 58cm circumference - this can be an easy way to guess your size! If you tighten a cap your head is smaller than 58cm.... if you loosen a cap your head is wider than 58cm...
Live near one of our stockists?
