Regardless of the month, that Queensland sun can cast some seriously strong rays and make a nasty mark upon unsuspecting heads. While your beard might have your chin covered, the top of your head often cops a harsher beating, requiring a bit of help from the obligatory piece of headwear. Californian snow, skate and surf label Neff is certainly up to the task, thanks to the recent release of a colourful new collection of caps. The brand’s winter 2014 range is the perfect defence against the harsh Aussie sun, boasting left-of-centre designs like the Commando, Song Birds, Wild Aztec, Hula and Five O.

After launching in 2002, Neff has continued to expand its snappy collection of tees, shorts, backpacks, beanies and caps, recently adding watches and sunglasses to the mix. Head online to browse the full range and lock in your orders via The Iconic or City Beach.
