Stevie Ultra Sun Hat UPF 50+

I have fair skin and am also using products that make my skin more sun-sensitive than usual, so I’ve been looking for a good sun hat. I ordered a cheap one from Amazon and it was that - cheap. Way too big, too floppy, and too heavy, but it did offer good sun protection, albeit while making me look like a bee keeper! The Coolibar Stevie hat is much better made, not floppy, is lightweight, fits well, is cool, looks good, and provides excellent coverage which includes a wire that allows the face cover to fit snugly on the nose. It’s light-weight and thin enough that I think I can fit my bicycle helmet over it (chronic problem: bicycle helmets offer little to no sun protection). It’s also packable, which is crucial. It’s much cooler, temperature-wise (and fashion-wise) than the prior sun hat, which was rather hot (temperature-wise) and frumpy (fashion-wise). I recommend this hat for anyone who needs sun coverage.

Good construction & quality material. Fits good,gives lots of shade.

Great hat . Wear it for golf.

My primary use for this hat is for driving in the car on bright days, so I can't comment on things like wind resistance or sturdiness since the hat sees little outdoor action. For the purposes of UV protection in the car, it works well on the areas it covers. The dark color also contributes to this.The hat retains is shape well if it gets put behind a seat for storage, and in terms of "sturdiness" it's as sturdy as it needs to be. In other words, it's a simple hat that just works and doesn't lose shape, so it's good.The fit is a bit tight, considering that it is a one-size-fits-all style. This goes for the veil as well. The veil has two snap buttons on each side of it to attach to the inner part of the hat, so this allows in theory for adjusting the width. However, the hat does not offer additional adjustment and only can be snapped into one spot on each side. It takes a bit of time to figure out how to cat the veil in place without obstructing your view or almost poking your eye. The fact that the top of the veil has bendable material helps, but having more attachment points in the hat would be ideal for fit.

It was easy to put on and provided good coverage. You can breathe through the front easily. Like the color.

This hat is not only cute, but does the job and protects you from UV light. I wear it all the time during the summer months, and it fits perfectly.

The mesh at the back is covered by another layer of fabric that fits so tight no air is vented. Why ugly brass snaps? Why not Velcro? At least Velcro I can take off and resew. But not snaps. My face would prefer in between the 2 face sizes they assume all women have?? Why is there always a problem with some unadjustable or poorly adjustable component of solibar hats/face masks? I am so frustrated with your design team and whoever decides making multiple sizes would be too expensive. Note: women who have anything other then a very short pixie haircut will find if you tighten the bungee to make the hat fit better it will instead drag your hair around. Do you see any other ladies hats with bungees by other manufacturers? No. It’s a dude thing. Please show your design team Helen Kaminski (they also use a thin strip of foam at the headband so no marks left on your forehead) and Tilley for other “tightening” options that work. Though this is really not the right answer. Multi sizes are. ESP for a hat worn daily by women for sun protection not to hunt deer.Measured my head and it should fit... but the inner headband edging is too tight. Did like other reviewer and removed. Not ideal but we have few options until solibar makes a ladies hat in multiple sizes. A hat for a size 2 lady will not also fit a 3x honestly large-boned lady. If only they had made this and inch bigger. Even a half inch would have made all the difference. Remember Coach leather wear crusher hats? Those were ladies. Came in s/m and m/l and xl. The xl was too big (for weaves or wigs - how thoughtful.) why can’t solibar take a look at existing successful hat band sizing from a major designer? Rather then continue to frustrate customers with repeated failed designs and poor fit. Which is getting so old.The men’s horribly designed Mens brimmed hat with a one side Velcro closure is too big and everyone know the face cover is so badly designed as to be useless -so don’t bother with that one either. The face masks for men fit me but are so tight as to be uncomfortable. Men also complained. Ugh. Figure it out!

Does the job spf
