The cooling bucket hat · Port St. Lucie, Florida

Stay cool out there. Just add ice.

Arctic Mullet is a wide-brim bucket hat with a hidden pocket at the back of the neck. Drop in a handful of ice or a gel pack and the cold starts where your body sheds heat fastest. When it melts, refill and it starts again — no batteries, no fans, nothing to charge.

How it works

Simple on purpose. Solid in the details.

Questions

Asked often.

How long does the cold last?

As long as you keep ice in it. How fast a fill melts depends on sun, air temperature, and how hard you’re working, so we don’t quote a number. When it’s gone, drain, refill (or swap in a fresh gel pack) and the cold starts over.

What goes in the pocket?

A handful of ice or a standard 4"×7" gel pack, the size sold at any pharmacy or grocery store. The pocket is lined, so melt drains and evaporates rather than running down your back.

Does it need batteries or charging?

No. There are no electronics anywhere in the hat. Ice is the only thing it needs, which is also why it keeps working in rain, mud, and salt spray.

What size is it?

One size with an adjustable drawstring, and it fits up to a 7½. The hat weighs under a pound.

How do I clean it?

Take the ice pack out, rinse the hat, and let it air-dry. The fabric is 100% polyester and dries quickly.

When will my order ship?

Orders ship within 1–3 business days from Port St. Lucie, Florida, by USPS. Shipping is free anywhere in the US and you’ll get a tracking email as soon as the label is printed.

Crews in the field

Built for the crews who can’t call it early.

Construction, utilities, roofing, landscaping, road work, marinas, event staff: anywhere the shift runs through the hottest part of the day. Safety Yellow was made for the job site, and the pocket refills from the cooler that’s already on the truck.

  • Twelve hats and up. Mix colors across the crew.
  • Private label available. Your brand on the hat for company or crew programs.
  • Quote within one business day. Send a headcount and we’ll take it from there.

Safety Yellow is a color option, not an ANSI-rated garment. It pairs with your vest rather than replacing it.
