MISSION Cooling Bucket Hat - Unisex Wide-Brim Hat for Men & Women - Lightweight, Foldable & Durable - Cools Up to 2 Hours

It's a hat and I like it. I'd like to address some of the complaints that people had and just weigh in my own opinion.I almost didn't buy the hat. I wanted the pattern on the underside of the brim but there were concerns about fit and quality. My head measures 23", this changes as my hair comes in and I trim it down but I measured just for this. 23". The hat fits not loose, not tight but like a hat should. If your head is 23" around, this is going to fit comfortably. A stiff wind might blow it off, but walking around, sharking your head it will stay put.The snaps on the side. I can see how these could come out ... BUT the fabric is very thin, and the snaps are pretty strong. I would just be careful when you unsnap and I don't see a problem. But if you try to just pull on the fabric to pop the snap loose you are going to have a bad time.I spent a day outside with the hat in the sun. I'm prone to sunburn and didn't have an issue at all.The cooling ... I didn't notice anything different from any other hat that I put in water except that it retains the moisture better than most hats. The brim still had water in it overnight. It didn't feel any cooler than any other hat that I've dipped in water. It didn't feel worse either. It did vent well and didn't trap in heat. I wasn't sweating like I usually do in 90 degrees heat with any other hat.The strap ... this i think looks like it will not last but it's not poorly made or anything, just thin. This is just me thinking it won't I have zero proof.Overall, I like the hat. I'm a fan of Hawiian shirts so this pattern is fantastic for me. I'm skeptical of anything that says "cooling" on it, but if you look at it like this ... it's a hat that helps block the sun that is comfortable, looks good, and is affordable you still win.

The Florida sun can be brutal and if you're not careful, you can really hurt yourself simply sitting at the beach. I've been a fan and wearer of bucket hats for years. I saw these Mission hats and bought a tan one to try out. It was perfect and exactly what you look for in a bucket hat. Light weight, breathable, stylish, provides great protection, etc. I loved the tan one so much that a few weeks later I also bought the blue one! Great Hat!

I like the style and utility of this hat. It really does feel cool if you start sweating or if you wet in water. I like that it has snaps to change it to a cowboy style.

Great for blocking the sun from the tops of your ears. Lightweight and looking forward to dunking it in the pool...
