The Eric Javits Champ II is a luxury designer hat made from patented squishee straw. It has a larger peak span than the original, making it suitable for shielding larger face shapes. This hat is perfect for various activities, such as golfing, reading under a palm tree, or power walking. The Champ II features Eric Javits' patented man-made material, squishee straw, which is made from recycled fibers. It looks and feels like natural raffia straw but is more durable, as it won't crack, splinter, or melt when wet. The hat has been independently tested and awarded the highest UPF 50+ rating for superior sun protection, blocking 95% of harmful UVA/UVB rays. The Eric Javits Champ II is a lightweight, packable, and long-lasting hat that provides reliable sun protection.
