Sunday Afternoons, a leading global provider of UPF 50+ UV protective headwear, announced today the launch of Madrone, a new men’s technical headwear brand.
Madrone’s premium and rugged headwear specifically targets the fishing, hunting and outdoorsman markets. The brand was created by Sunday Afternoons to meet increasing consumer demand for rugged sun protection solutions for male outdoor enthusiasts.
“We are excited to take all we have learned about innovative headwear through our 20-year-old Sunday Afternoons brand and apply it specifically to the male outdoor market,” said Meadow Lacy, Brand Manager of Madrone. “Sportsmen need hats that both protect and last. Our unique designs and breathable, UV-blocking materials provide shelter from anything nature throws their way.”
Added Lacy, “At Madrone, we know the needs of the true outdoorsman because we eat, breathe and sleep the great outdoors. Like the mighty Madrone tree itself, our roots are in the Pacific Northwest, and we look forward to sharing adventures around the world with avid sportsmen as they pursue their passions.”
