Full coverage for full days. The Jetpilot Boonie Legionnaire combines a wide-brim boonie hat with a legionnaire back flap in quick-dry hydro tech mesh with reflective prints — serious sun protection for boat, bank and beach.
The build is lightweight quick-dry hydro tech mesh, made to cop spray and splash and dry out before you've noticed. The legionnaire flap covers the neck and ears — the bits sunscreen always misses. The wide brim throws shade over face, ears and neck all day. Reflective screenprints add a touch of visibility around water at dusk.
Skin cancer stats in Australia aren't a joke, and a cap alone doesn't cut it on open water where glare comes off every surface. Proper coverage headwear like this is standard kit for serious boaters, fishos and jet ski tourers — protection you set and forget, so the only thing you're squinting at is the sounder.
Like all Jetpilot headwear, it's designed in Australia by a brand that lives on the water — and it packs flat in a boat bag or glovebox, so there's no excuse to leave it behind.
Pair it with a Jetpilot rashie for the full sun-smart setup — the combination that lets a water day run from breakfast to sunset without anyone getting cooked. It packs easily, dries fast and shrugs off being stuffed into bags all summer.
