If you love Gecko Hawaii, and of course you do, then you love the pop of some awesome neon colors! This charcoal hat and the black one like it are awesome for this because the neon really pops on the dark. I have worn mine a ton on the water and elsewhere. What makes the charcoal a great choice over the black is that it doesn't show wear and sweat as quickly as the black. I have over 30 different hats and this charcoal Gecko Hawaii is my absolute favorite. I have had so many people throw me the shaka and compliment my hat. If they get them back in stock, make sure to get one.
