Headgear for Every Session: The Mellow Cord, Pool Cleaner & Gully Beanie

Headgear for Every Session: The Mellow Cord, Pool Cleaner & Gully Beanie

Posted by IPD International on

At IPD Surf, we know the difference between gear that works and gear that gets in the way. Hats are more than just accessories—they’re part of your everyday rhythm, whether you’re walking out to dawn patrol, cruising the boardwalk, or kicking back with a cold one after a long day in the surf. Our 2026 hat lineup brings together three distinct styles built for different moments, but all rooted in the same ethos: simplicity, comfort, and coastal heritage.

Let’s break down the three headpieces that should be in your daily rotation—the Mellow Cord, the Pool Cleaner, and the Gully Beanie.


Mellow Cord: Soft, Classic, and Effortlessly Cool

First up, the Mellow Cord—a hat that feels familiar the first time you put it on. Made from premium corduroy with a gently structured fit, this one has that lived-in vibe right out of the box. It’s soft, low-profile, and perfect for every day on the coast. Whether you’re grabbing breakfast tacos after a morning session or pulling into work with salty hair and sandy feet, the Mellow Cord sits right where it should—comfortable, understated, and ready for anything.

The beauty of this hat isn’t just in the fabric or fit—it’s in how it wears in with you. Over time, it becomes a quiet staple, a piece that feels like part of your routine. Neutral tones, minimal branding, and a relaxed silhouette make it easy to pair with anything in your closet. If you’re all about that classic, reliable style, the Mellow Cord is the hat for you.


Pool Cleaner: All-Day Function Meets Clean Design

Next, we’ve got the Pool Cleaner—a hat built for movement and long days under the sun. Think clean lines, performance-minded material, and just the right amount of structure to keep the brim where you want it. This is the hat you reach for when you know you’ll be out chasing waves, running errands, and grabbing dinner—all in one stretch.

The Pool Cleaner is quick-drying and breathable, so if a rogue splash or afternoon drizzle comes your way, you’re not left with a soggy, heavy hat. The design stays classic but leans a little more technical, with subtle details that nod to function without screaming “performance gear.” For surfers, anglers, skaters, or anyone who stays on the move from dawn to dusk, this one’s a daily driver.


Gully Beanie: Warmth and Attitude for the Cooler Months

And then there’s the Gully Beanie—our go-to for those crisp mornings and chilly evenings. Knitted with a soft but resilient fabric, the Gully Beanie locks in warmth without feeling bulky. It’s the perfect cap to pull down over your ears while you crack a thermos of coffee and watch the tide roll in.

Simple branding and a timeless silhouette make the Gully Beanie versatile enough to wear with your favorite hoodie, flannel, or winter jacket. Whether you’re beachside or off the coast in town, it’s warm, cozy, and genuinely comfortable.


Find Your Hat, Find Your Rhythm

At the end of the day, your hat should be more than a piece of gear—it should be part of your flow. The Mellow Cord brings that everyday classic ease. The Pool Cleaner keeps you covered when the day gets long, and the Gully Beanie wraps you in warmth when the chill sets in.

Three hats. Three distinct vibes. One simple goal: gear that fits your life on, around, and beyond the water.

Choose your headgear. Wear it daily. Live it well.
