Patagonia Take a Stand Trucker Hat WGSL
Patagonia stands for the waters in which we fly fishers stand, because otherwise there will soon be no more fish. A clear message that you can support with the Take A Stand cap!
This classic trucker cap with a medium high brim has a visor core made from NetPlus™ by Bureo, a material with complete proof of origin that is made from 100% recycled fishing nets. The front is made of organic cotton. At the back, it has a mesh insert made of recycled polyester and an adjustable snap fastener. The pre-curved peak provides ample sun protection and supports your pole glasses when spotting fish.
- NetPlus: Our beloved oceans and habitat for many fish that are at the top of our anglers' list, like the GT or tarpon, are being choked by plastic waste. A full 8.8 tons of plastic waste is estimated to be thrown into the oceans each year, and fishing nets are one of the most damaging forms of this waste. Around 650,000 animals become caught in these ghost nets every year. This makes the use of NetPlus materials in Patagonia's products more important. The NetPlus material is a recycled nylon material that is extracted from fishing nets that are no longer used. In extracting the NetPlus material, the company works closely with fishermen to keep or remove hundreds of tons of discarded nets from the ocean each year. The nets are sorted, cleaned and crushed in Chile and then processed into 100% recycled nylon pellets known as NetPlus. These pellets can then be made into molded plastic products, components or fibers and find a new sustainable use!
A stylish and sustainably produced cap for fly fishers with a clear message!
