I got one that is packable on Amazon and it's super cute and durable, and it was cheap! I have worn it on many trips. Search "packable" also. It rolls up in my luggage

the wallaroo I use for travel can definitely be smushed. I also wash it routinely, by hand but without a lot of care. But I still pack it by laying it flat, filling the hat part with underwear or something, and then I pack clothes around that. I think it helps if the brim isn’t creased hard.

I really prefer cotton hats to straw/woven, and this one is really soft. I wore it in the wind this weekend, and it stayed on beautifully.
(The tan is out of stock, which it was when I first saw it online. I clicked “notify me” and got an email that it was back in stock within a week.)
This is cute, thanks!

If you only want one hat, perhaps this: https://hatattack.com/products/livvy-canvas-sunhat?variant=41964045926489
Personally, I’d pack a foldable wide brim like this to wear on the beach or other stationary activities in the sun: https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens/categories/accessories/scarves-hats/hats/textured-summer-straw-hat/09500?color_name=dusty-dune&N=ONE%20SIZE&noPopUp=true&srcCode=Paid_Search%7CShopping_NonBrand%7CGoogle%7CPMG%5EG%5E99103247282_20647336546___m_pla_local_532_9007769&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=paid_search&utm_content=shopping_ads&utm_campaign=JCrew_Shopping_LIA_US_All_X_PMax_X_Google_X&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20647338361&gbraid=0AAAAADqAteD0wnGm_gGD7-h63t4f5uxWC&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0LDBBhCnARIsAMpYlAoAW9cC1OHHXeSNbrqE6tblCP8R_EEziNENLifvcD8rmeCSe9a-osgaAsc2EALw_wcB#no_universal_links%23no_universal_links&colorProductCode=09500
And I’d pack a baseball cap to wear on the boat and in the water.

Any kind of rollable hat will be fine.

Wallaroo, I think it’s similar to some others suggested. It’s woven plastic of some kind.

I also have some by San Diego hat Company that I like quite a bit. I’m not sure if I got them from Proper Topper or online.

We'll be in Italy in a few weeks, spending quite a bit of time at the beach and boating. I would love a stylish, multi-purpose beach/sun hat that is easy to pack. Ideally, one that isn't too floppy or hot, that will stay put while on a moving boat. Am I looking for a unicorn? Hit me with your favorite travel beach hats.
