MATERIALS
SUPPLEX NYLON
Tilley’s Airflo® collection is fabricated from a 100% Supplex Nylon face that is affixed to a Polyurethane (PU) Membrane. The face of the fabric is treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish making our Supplex Nylon fabric hydrophobic, allowing water to bead off easily. The PU membrane is wind and waterproof, creating an extremely hardworking textile to keep you protected during all sorts of weather conditions.
COTTON DUCK
A classic and durable fabric that is part of Tilley's heritage. Naturally water resistant, our Cotton Duck fabric naturally fades with age, giving it a unique look for every hat owner.
HEMP
Hemp's tensile strength is eight times that of cotton fibre which accounts for its historical use in sails and rope. It is an exceptionally durable and strong eco friendly fabric.
ORGANIC COTTON
Coming from certified farms and facilities, our Organic Cotton hats and apparel start with sustainable, eco-friendly practices to deliver a fabric that naturally breathes, dries fast, and keeps you cool and comfortable on all your adventures.
WAXED COTTON
Our iconic cotton is treated with an eco-friendly, water repellent finish that will change colour over time, offering a unique, aged look.
WOOL FELT
A non-woven fabric, wool felt is incredibly soft, yet strong and durable against winter conditions. Wool felt also has great insulating features, keeping the heat in and cold out when temperatures drop.
RAFFIA
Made from the finest quality Madagascar fibre. Raffia is known for its rich colouring, flexibility and durability.
TOYO PAPER
Made from premium Toyo straw sourced from Japan. Toyo is derived from rice paper yarns and is known for its smooth texture, light weight and durability.
LIGHTWEIGHT 95/5 NYLON/SPANDEX
Not only is our lightweight nylon/spandex UPF 50+ certified and has a durable, water repellent to keep you protected in sun or rain – it is also breathable! The weave of the fabric allows air to pass in and out of the hat keeping the wearer cool and comfortable.
MASHUP COTTON
A recycled mash up of Organic Cotton, Polyester and Rayon yarns creating a unique lightweight fabric.
TECHNOLOGIES
AIRFLO®
Using mesh panelling at the top of the crown, our Airflo technology allows air to flow through the hat to both let cool air in and hot air out. You will notice that Airflo hats hit higher on your head - this allows the 3/4 inch mesh panel to be unobstructed.
CERTIFIED UPF 50+
Similar to SPF, a UPF rating is given to apparel that has been tested and proven to block a certain amount of ultraviolent radiation, with a maximum rating being 50+.
SCHOELLER® TECHNOLOGIES 3XDRY® BIO
Schoeller technologies 3XDry® Bio fabric is both hydrophilic and hydrophobic! This means that the outside of the textile is water and dirt repellent. At the same time, on the inside of the textile perspiration is quickly absorbed and transported away from the body. Moisture is distributed over the surface and evaporates rapidly.
