K88K Lab BreakWater Trucker 2.0 Hat

K88K Lab Breakwater Trucker 2.0

Impact Protection & Sun Protection for Watersports

Sizes: Adjustable Trucker Fit (52cm - 63cm / 6 1/2 - 7 7/8)

Whether you are wing foiling in high winds or sessioning your local break, you need head protection that stays secure without slowing you down. The KOOK LAB Breakwater Trucker 2.0 gives you padded impact absorption and SPF 50+ sun coverage in a lightweight trucker design. You will notice better visibility thanks to the non-glare lining beneath the bill, while the integrated neck gaiter keeps you protected from UV rays. When you take a hard fall, the buoyant shell ensures your hat floats right on the surface for easy retrieval. You get reliable protection and all-day comfort every time you hit the water.

What KOOK LAB has to say:

Check your head. Not as a question, but as a reminder. The Breakwater Trucker 2.0 is built around one clear idea: effective protection is the kind you actually wear. Not a helmet left in the vehicle or a hard shell that limits your style, but a hat engineered from the inside out to absorb impact, block sun, survive water, and look great on the water.

Nontoxic, non-offgassing closed-cell foam sits between your skull and whatever the ocean, foil, wake, or wind throws at you. Epoxy-coated rare-earth magnets flip the visor out of your line of sight when needed, while a laser-perforated gaiter deploys quickly and stays put in heavy wind. An expandable shell customizes to fit head shapes that standard hats cannot accommodate.

Who is this for?

This hat is designed for riders who want functional head and sun protection across high-impact watersports. Whether you are foiling, wing foiling, downwinding, e-foiling, surfing, kite surfing, wakeboarding, wake surfing, stand-up paddling, or kayaking, it provides full coverage and cushioned protection in all conditions.

Design Profile:

An expandable, buoyant trucker hat built with integrated closed-cell impact foam, a flippable magnetic visor, and an SPF 50+ laser-perforated neck gaiter.

Performance Features:

• Buoyant design keeps the hat floating on the water surface if lost during a wipeout.
• Magnetic flippable visor flips up out of your field of view or attaches to metal surfaces.
• Laser-perforated deployable neck gaiter offers SPF 50+ sun protection and water drainage.
• Matte non-glare under-bill lining reduces reflected light off the water for clear sight lines.
• Customizable breakaway tabs allow shell expansion to fit larger head sizes comfortably.

How does it compare?

Versus the Breakwater v1.0:

The Breakwater Trucker 2.0 introduces a rubberized epoxy coating on the rare-earth magnets for superior resistance against salt water and corrosion. A new gaiter chin strap slit keeps the gaiter lying flat and secure in heavy wind without cupping around your ears. Additionally, an updated expandable inner shell features three precision break points for custom sizing on larger heads.

Design Features:

• Flippable Magnetic Visor - Epoxy-coated rare-earth magnets resist salt and water, allowing you to flip the bill up for an unobstructed view.
• Sealed Closed-Cell Impact Foam - Nontoxic closed-cell impact foam is heat-sealed and bonded to an HDPE molded shell with 3M waterproof adhesion for padded head protection.
• Sun & Weather Protective Neck Gaiter - Laser-perforated fabric provides breathability and sun coverage, featuring flexible wear modes with an integrated chin strap slit.
• Expandable Inner Shell - Three breakaway tabs allow you to adjust and expand the shell fit for customized comfort.
• Reflective Accents & Oval Cording - Reflective weaving and branding increase visibility, paired with adjustable oval cording to prevent pressure points.
