Wide Brim UPF 50+ Hiking and Fishing Hat with Neck Flap Sun Protection Outdoor Safari Gardening Hats for Women

Was this hat effective while hiking in the desert to Havasupai? Yes. Was it fashionable? Hell no. Did I get burned? NOPE. Overall I don't care how it looked, it was super light and squish-able for my backpack, kept my face and neck from getting burned for 10 miles of canyon hiking.

Very lite fabric, liner inside crown,some breathable nylon ports, wipes clean easily

It's perfect for travel or hiking. Huge rim that does not flop down, it actually looks stylish, dries fast, loved the neck cover which was not cheesy at all, the neck tie is great. No complaints. I even washed it in the washer after my trip but hung dried it.

This hat was great for a week long trip in the Costa Rican rain forest. Everyone else loved the hat and wanted to wear throughout the trip. I was able to roll it up easily for packing without it losing its shape. Works for just about any hairstyle so you don’t have to do your hair to match your hat. The best part for me was that it didn’t get dingey or worn looking from rough usage. For reference, we had a bag and a pair of shoes got pretty roughed up on this trip.

Looked at a dozen of these types of hats before choosing one to take on safari. This one worked out great. The elastic on the back made it a perfect fit for my head, but it's not adjustable so you may have to just try it one to know (doesn't fit my husband's super XL head).The ponytail hole was perfect for my long hair pulled up and the back flap covered my neck and shielded my ears. The strap under the chin is thin, but even once we transferred to a speed boat, it hat no problem holding the hat in place.The large bill was the best part as it was the perfect length to cover my whole face from the African sun.However, especially with olive green color, it makes you look like you should be on safari and didn't really translate well to our Mozambique beach resort for the second half of the trip (I bought a different sun hat from the resort boutique).The only real downside, is that I never wanted to fold the bill in two b/c I think it would have creased it and then worn very strangely so i had to pack it flat on the bottom of my suitcase. This worked just fine. I plan to wear this hiking in the future in place of my baseball cap as it has better coverage and is spf.

This hat is great. It not only keeps me from having to "stuff" my long hair into a hat, which creates a lot of heat, it looks great. I don't usually look good in hats. I actually had someone ask me where I purchased this because she had long hair as well and said it looked fantastic on me. It also fits well because my hair is now out the back instead of wound up inside, which eliminates horrible "hat hair". We hike and camp in a Desert area all the time and are also at Rivers and lakes. This is so perfect. I wish I had found this a long time ago. I'll probably order another one as back up.

I like the fact that it has ywo straps to keep the wind from blowing the brim back. Good forwindy beach and convertible.

Fishing and hiking = sunburns for me. This hat really covers a lot. Very light weight and comfortable. My head is 7 1/4. It fits well.
