The "Squashy" Roo Cooler is the summer-weight version of its all-leather cousin. The Cooler's nylon mesh sides allow for extra ventilation, while the leather brim and tip still provide excellent protection from the sun. The rustic feel of the Crackle finish helps give this model a 'worn-in' feel, so you have to do less work to make it feel loved. Squashy hats can be flattened, folded, frozen and flung, and they'll still come up a treat for when you're in need.

NOTES ON FIT: Leather hats can sometimes run small-to-size, so if you're buying online and your measurements are between the listed sizes, please be sure to choose a LARGER, rather than a smaller size than you think you need. Remember, there are a number of ways to make a hat smaller, but it's a lot trickier to go the other way.
Packing: To keep your Barmah looking 'as new', we recommend only folding it when you need too, and never leave it folded for more than a few hours at a time, if you can help it. For long-haul flights, we recommend packing it flat in your suitcase, as it will take up less space, and will maintain the integrity of the brim shape for longer. When you do need to pack your Squashy, try to keep the brim as symmetrical as possible (see demo pictures provided).

Please note: Colours may vary slightly from photographs. The Roo Cooler is not sold with a carry bag, but one will be provided where possible if spares are available.
