Lightweight and breathable. Perfect for someone who’s mowing the lawn or relaxing on the beach. Make sure to buy 2 because someone will try and take yours!

My go-to sun hat! The quality is fantastic—durable, lightweight, and well-made. I love that it’s waterproof, so it handles ocean spray or sweaty hikes with no problem. It gives full coverage to keep my face shaded from the sun. I’ll definitely be buying it again and again!

It's comically big. Gets lots of points and whispers from passersby, but it's dang sure the bee's knee's for sun protection. Only downsides are the adjustment band and brim crease. The plastic doohicky intended to hold the elastic sizing band is vestigial, at best. It didn't hold a darn thing. Finally gave up and used a stretchy velcro strap around the outside. Also, it shipped folded into a small box, leaving the brim permanently creased. So far nothing has helped, but given the comically large brim I'm not to worried about it. Even crease-free it's a spectacle worthy of chuckles and comments. Don't care, though, as it's the first time in my adult life I've been able to spend a day outside without either bathing in suscreen or coming home blistered beyond recognition.

I really like these hats as they keep the sun off of your face. I don't like to wear sun screen so I wear one of these hatsinstead.

Worked great in Egypt and South Africa during vacation in the heat and sudden cloud bursts.

The media could not be loaded. In the quest to find the perfect sun protection solution for my wife, who has fair skin and a low tolerance for the sun's rays, we decided to try the Wide Brim Sun Hat with UPF 50+ protection. This hat promised to shield her from harmful UV rays and offer comfort without the need for multiple layers. Here's our take on its performance and how it stands up to its claims.Optimal Sun Protection with StyleThe primary draw of this hat is its wide brim, designed to offer extensive shade and protect against sun exposure. The UPF 50+ rating ensures it blocks harmful UV radiation, making it an excellent choice for anyone needing extra protection. This feature has made it a valuable addition to our outdoor gear, especially considering my wife's susceptibility to sunburn.Flexible Design with DrawbacksWhile the flexible brim adds practicality, allowing for easy packing and adjustment, it has its downsides. The flexibility means that the brim can occasionally flop into the face, which can be a nuisance in various outdoor activities. Moreover, the wide brim's design makes it susceptible to being caught by the wind, posing a risk of it being blown off unless the chin strap is securely tightened—a measure that, ironically, can feel somewhat constricting.Durability ConcernsDespite its waterproof claim, the hat's grommets have shown signs of rusting after exposure to moisture, casting doubt on its long-term resilience and waterproof capabilities. The addition of mesh around the band, while enhancing breathability, raises questions about its ability to protect against external moisture fully. This aspect remains untested in the rain, leaving some uncertainty about its effectiveness in wet conditions.Adjustability and ComfortOn a positive note, the hat's adjustability is a significant advantage, making it suitable for different head sizes and ensuring a comfortable fit. The breathable design is another plus, helping mitigate some discomfort associated with wearing hats in hot weather. Despite its imperfections, these features have contributed to my wife's overall satisfaction with the hat.Final VerdictThe Wide Brim Sun Hat-UPF 50+ stands out for its adequate sun protection and adjustable, breathable design. While it excels in providing shade and comfort, potential buyers should be aware of its flexibility-related drawbacks and durability concerns. Despite these issues, my wife appreciates the hat's intended purpose—offering protection and comfort in the sun. It's a worthwhile consideration for those seeking substantial sun protection. Still, it's advisable to weigh the benefits against the minor inconveniences and durability questions. Our experience suggests a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars, acknowledging its strengths while recognizing areas for improvement.

Love my hat! Perfect for covering my face due to basal cell surgeries.

The hat has great coverage but is not comfortable for my husband. He is wearing another hat under it. The discomfort is between the brim and cap. Cap is large but too smug at the brim for his head to fit inside the cap.
