Abstract
A protective covering is provided as it may be used for a hat. An example of the covering includes a crown receiving portion and a bill receiving portion. The crown receiving portion forms a domed cavity to cover the crown of a hat, while the bill receiving portion includes a pocket to receive and protect the hat's bill. An example material of manufacture may be clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ensuring visibility of the hat while providing waterproof protection against weather and environmental damage. A drawstring tightening mechanism allows for adjustable securement, ensuring the covering remains in place during use. The covering enables a user to protect their hat from water, dirt, and weather conditions while the hat is either on display or being worn.
