Kala Hat
By UVeto Australia

Protection where you need it. Vision where you don’t. The UVeto Kala Hat is designed for workers who need sun protection without anything getting in the way of their sight, movement or PPE. With an open-face design and extended rear and side flaps, it protects the neck, ears and sides of the face while keeping the front completely clear.

Unlike full-wrap hats or balaclavas, this is built for visibility. It works seamlessly with safety eyewear, sunglasses and other head-mounted PPE, making it ideal for operators, drivers and anyone working in motion. Made from lightweight UPF50+ rated fabric and available in breathable micro-mesh or cotton options, it delivers reliable protection without heat build-up.

This is what you issue when protection matters… but visibility is non-negotiable.
