Bellevue Energy's Boonie Hat: Keeping You Cool & Protected, From the Desert to Daily Life

PHOENIX, AZ – November 8, 2023 – Bellevue Energy LLC, a company originally focused on innovative energy solutions, is now bringing its dedication to performance and durability to a surprising new market: outdoor headwear. They’ve just launched a new line of boonie hats, designed to offer exceptional sun protection, breathability, and comfort for a wide range of activities. You might be thinking, “Energy company making hats? What’s going on?” Well, Bellevue Energy, based right here in Phoenix, Arizona, has a history of tackling tough challenges. Their core business involves developing resilient systems for extreme environments, and that expertise naturally translated into a need for robust, reliable gear. “We were constantly dealing with intense sun and heat during field testing of our energy tech,” explains Sarah Miller, Head of Product Development at Bellevue Energy. “We found existing hats just weren't cutting it – they’d get soaked with sweat, fall apart quickly, or didn't offer enough protection. So, we decided to build a better one ourselves.” And build one they did. Bellevue Energy’s boonie hat isn’t your average sun hat. It’s designed with a focus on materials, construction, and practical features. Let’s break down what makes it different. Built to Last, Designed for Comfort The Bellevue Energy boonie hat isn’t made from flimsy fabric. It's crafted from a durable, yet lightweight, ripstop polyester. This means it can take a beating – brush it off against branches, pack it in your bag – and it’ll still hold its shape. We’re talking about a hat that’s designed to last through countless adventures. But durability isn’t enough. If a hat isn’t comfortable, you won't wear it. That's why Bellevue Energy focused heavily on breathability. The ripstop polyester isn't just strong; it also allows for excellent airflow, helping to keep your head cool and dry even on the hottest days. Plus, the hat features a moisture-wicking sweatband inside, drawing perspiration away from your skin for added comfort. Sun Protection You Can Trust Living in Arizona, Bellevue Energy understands the dangers of sun exposure. Their boonie hat is designed to block harmful UV rays. While not specifically rated with a UPF number, the tightly woven ripstop polyester provides significant protection from the sun. The wide brim, extending approximately 3.5 inches around the crown, casts a generous shadow, shielding your face, ears, and neck from direct sunlight. “We wanted to create a hat that people could rely on to keep them protected, whether they're hiking in the desert, fishing on the lake, or just working in the yard,” says Miller. Practical Features for Real-World Use The Bellevue Energy boonie hat isn't just about materials and protection; it's also packed with practical features that make it a versatile accessory. Adjustable Drawcord: A fully adjustable drawcord with a toggle allows you to customize the fit, ensuring a secure and comfortable feel, even in windy conditions. You can tighten it for a snug fit or loosen it for a more relaxed feel. Chin Strap: A removable chin strap provides extra security, especially during activities like boating, kayaking, or hiking in strong winds. Simply attach or detach it as needed. All-Around Brim: The brim isn’t just there for looks. It’s designed to provide 360-degree sun protection, shielding your face, ears, and the back of your neck. Lightweight & Packable: Despite its durability and features, the boonie hat remains surprisingly lightweight and packable. It can easily be folded or rolled up and stowed in a backpack, duffel bag, or even a large pocket. Multiple Colors & Camo Options: The Bellevue Energy boonie hat is currently available in a range of colors, including classic khaki, olive green, navy blue, and several popular camouflage patterns. This allows you to choose a style that suits your personal preference or blends in with your surroundings. Beyond Outdoor Adventures While the boonie hat is undoubtedly a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts, its versatility extends far beyond hiking, fishing, and camping. It’s also ideal for: Gardening & Yard Work: Protect yourself from the sun while tending to your garden or tackling outdoor chores. Beach Days: Shield your face and neck from the sun while enjoying a day at the beach. Traveling: A lightweight and packable hat is a must-have for any traveler. Everyday Wear: A stylish and functional hat for everyday sun protection. From Energy Solutions to Everyday Essentials Bellevue Energy LLC may be known for its work in the energy sector, but their new boonie hat demonstrates their commitment to quality, innovation, and meeting the needs of their customers. “We believe that the same principles that guide our energy solutions – durability, reliability, and performance – also apply to our headwear,” says Miller. “We’re confident that our boonie hat will become a go-to accessory for anyone who values comfort, protection, and lasting quality.” The Bellevue Energy boonie hat is now available for purchase directly on the company’s website (www.bellevueenergyllc.com) and through select retailers. MSRP is $29.99.
