Sheet updated September 2026
The Manera Bobby is Manera's signature bucket hat. It is crafted from the same fabric as their boardshorts. You can spend all day on the water. Manera themselves say it best: their Bobby hats are far from ordinary. This hat uses the brand's technical boardshort fabric. It is lightweight, quick-drying, and resistant to both salt and UV. A chin cord keeps it securely on your head, even in windy conditions. It's available in three sizes (S, M, L) and two colors (Black and Lilac).
KEY INFORMATION
MANERA BOBBY - Technical Bucket Hat for Your Session
What we like
- Boardshort Fabric: This is the same material used in Manera's technical boardshorts. It gets wet, dries, and gets wet again without issue.
- Quick-Drying: It dries right on your head after you get out of the water. No more heavy, cold bucket hats at the end of the day.
- Salt and UV Resistant: This hat withstands saltwater and harsh UV rays. These would ruin a cotton bucket hat in just one season.
- Retention Cord: A cord with a stopper runs under your chin. This keeps the bucket hat firmly in place, even in the wind and on the water.
- Three Sizes: Choose from S, M, or L for a bucket hat that stays put without feeling too tight.
- Before, During, After: This hat is for all-day wear outdoors, from launching your gear to enjoying an après-session drink in the parking lot.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A Bob Hat for the Water
Most bucket hats are cotton, which means they soak up water, dry slowly, and fade quickly with salt exposure. Manera takes a different approach. The Bobby is crafted from the same lightweight, quick-drying, salt and UV-resistant fabric used in their technical boardshorts. This is the bucket hat you'll want to keep on your head while SUPing, winging in light winds, watching the kids by the water, or hanging out in the parking lot after your session.
Cut, Cord, and Sizes
The Bobby has a classic wide, flexible brim. This distinguishes it from the brand's more fitted 5 Panels version. A cord with a stopper secures it under your chin. This keeps it in place even in windy conditions. It's available in three sizes (S, M, L) and two colors: Black and Lilac. Remember to rinse it with fresh water after any sea outing.

FAQ - MANERA BOBBY
It's for anyone spending their day in the sun and near the water: think SUP, light wind winging, beach days, or boating. It gets wet and dries quickly, unlike a cotton bucket hat.
We offer three sizes: S, M, and L. Refer to the head circumference chart higher up on the page for Manera's recommendations. While the chin strap helps with retention, it's no substitute for the correct size. If you're unsure, stop by the shop to try one on.
We are a Kite, Wing, and Surf shop in Pornichet, on the Atlantic coast. We wear and test Manera and Mystic gear on our local spot before recommending it. If you have a doubt about a size or a question about setup, call us or visit the shop; sizes are on the shelves.
