Wide-brim hats are a must when on a sun-filled vacation, but they’re notoriously tricky to transport. Enter BAGGU’s packable sun hat, a clever, lightweight design that comes in 16 prints and folds into a zip-up circular bag that’s compact enough to toss in your beach tote or carry-on luggage. Pull it out when you need shade (it’s wide enough to cover your face, neck, chest, and shoulders), and tie it under your chin to keep it in place when the breeze picks up.
