I’m a huge advocate for Mick’s hat. I wear it across all board sports and in the snow. I love it.
Ben Savage
Comfortable, practical and seriously smart design work. The built in helmet adds protection without sacrificing style and comfort. Stoked.
Joel Saunders
The best part is the ability to switch from a standard sun hat for hanging on the sand to a protective helmet for the surf just by adding the shell. It's stylish, fits great, and provides peace of mind in busy surf spots without sacrificing look or comfort.

I love wearing my KNOK hat when the surf is busy and crowded. It has all the benefits of a helmet but with the style of a cool hat.

We were fortunate to be the first retailer to take on the KNOK range of surf hats.
We worked closely with Mick to develop and expand this excellent product.

Last Friday I sold a bucket hat to a lady for golf! She always wanted to try the game but was too afraid of copping a golf ball to the head! She was absolutely fizzing over KNOK and the sunhat/protection. She said you need to get into golf shops! So funny but I totally saw it!

After trying a number of surf hats over the years, I’d pretty much ruled them out. Most had annoying fits or blocked my vision while on the wave. Giving KNOK a go changed that. The fit is great, and the stiff brim stays out of the way while surfing. Really solid construction and thoughtful design.

I’ve surfed in my KNOK hat for over a year and it’s still going strong, handling everything from small waves to proper duck-diving days without budging. The five sizing options mean it actually fits properly!

I surf a SUP. I used to have a helmet but didn’t like the look and it had limited sun protection. I bought this KNOK hat and it’s sensational. It stays on in heavy wipeouts, protects from bumps, but looks just like a hat. The protective shell is not really noticeable. I have taken this into the surf at least once a week for the last 18 months and there are no signs of wear!

The KNOK hat is so good you forget you are wearing it, whether the shell is in or out. It is comfortable around the ears, doesn't trap water, and doesn't impact your hearing. The brim is the perfect stiffness and stays in place, doesn't impact your vision, and doesn't cause issues when duck-diving.

Great design! Easy to take on travels. The baseball cap version makes a day at the beach a fun one! Effortless comfort all day round. Will definitely be buying another!
Frazer Gorman
The KNOK hat just works in the surf. It stays comfortable and secure, whether the waves are small and cruisy or a bit more powerful. A surfer’s essential.
