Tarpon Visor Care: Keep It Clean, Shaped and Ready for the Water

Quick Answer

Care for your Tarpon Visor by hand-washing with mild soap, air-drying in shape, and storing it away from heat to preserve the brim and foam.

How to Clean and Maintain Your Tarpon Visor

1. 1. Spot Clean the Sweatband and Brim: Mix a few drops of mild laundry detergent or dish soap with cool water. Dip a soft cloth or sponge in the solution and gently scrub the inner sweatband and any visible stains on the brim. Avoid soaking the foam core. Don’t submerge the visor or use bleach—it can damage the foam and fade the fabric.
2. 2. Rinse and Blot Dry: Use a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Blot the visor with a dry towel to absorb excess moisture, then reshape the brim to its original curve. Never wring or twist the visor—this can permanently deform the brim.
3. 3. Air-Dry Away from Heat: Place the visor on a clean, dry surface or hang it by the back strap. Let it air-dry completely at room temperature. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heaters, hair dryers, or radiators. Heat can soften the foam and cause the brim to flatten or bubble. Patience is better than speed.
4. 4. Store Flat or Hanging: When not in use, store the visor flat on a shelf or hang it by the strap. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of it, which can crush the brim. A crushed brim is hard to fix—if it does flatten, try steaming it gently with a garment steamer and reshaping while cool.
