Original Sombreros are an affordable way to add cool shade to your raft. Original Sombreros feature reinforced aluminum frames with nylon hardware and your choice of fabric and colors. Naturally, Original Sombreros provide cool shade for your raft, stability in wind (unlike flimsy raft umbrellas), quick stowing, and easy mounting to decks or frames.Sizing
We recommend 6' Sombreros for rafts 14' and under so your Sombrero can comfortably fold onto the back of your raft without overhanging. 8' lengths provide more shade for longer rafts. The folded-down lengths are 64" from the mounting point for 6' Sombreros and 74" for 8' Sombreros. Mounting points are typically 6-8" behind the oar locks. To select the width, measure center point to center point for frame mounting or just inside your oar locks for deck or slide track mounting. Everyone's setup is a little different, so we recommend checking yours to find the size that fits your raft. See Choosing a Sombrero for more help with sizing and fabric choices.
