The Panador™ Ultimate Gambler is the perfect hat for the protection from the sun.

The Panador Ultimate Collection of Panama Hats

Our Ultimate Panama Hats™ include features that make sunburn a plague of the past. While not strictly traditional, we're confident you will appreciate these modern updates to the Panama hat.

Solar Weave

Solar Weave is a fabric bonded inside the Panama hat's brim and crown. Solar Weave lining provides 100% UV protection, and only a few US finishers provide it.

Teflon Finishing

We also apply a Teflon coating to the outside of our Ultimate Panama Hats™. This special finish repels stains and protects the straw from water damage.

Cool Max Hatband

The finishing touch to our Ultimate Panama Hats™ is a Cool Max hatband, which actually improves the way the Panama hat fits. This soft, elastic material shapes to your head in a way no traditional hatband can. It wicks away moisture and helps keep your head even cooler on steamy summer days.

Sure, we're not finishing these Panama hats the way it's always been done. We think we've actually improved upon perfection.

The Gambler Style

The Gambler Panama hat found its beginnings with Spanish nobility as stylish protection against the heat and sun. That’s why it’s sometimes called the Plantation Panama hat. Later on, it became synonymous with 19th century high-rolling riverboat gamblers.

Today, it’s one of the most popular Panama hats. The Gambler is our widest brimmed Panama hat and as such provides shade for those with sensitive eyes. It’s still the perfect hat when visiting the riverboat casinos, or playing the ponies, or relaxing on the links.
