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

If is a breeze over 20mph the brim may fly up. It is not stiff like cardboard so you can roll up the hat to put in your backpack, but it is stiff enough to protect from sun.

This cap is comfortable, light weight and it protects your face and neck from the sun. I did not particularly like the color, but they didn't have the color that I wanted so I purchased this color.

Good for hiking, walking in summer time.

I like it for the price. The width of the brim is really good. I like the neck flap too but it really needs to be at least an inch longer or more to cover the nape of the neck when your head is leaned forward. I guess I could sew on an extension but it sucks to have to modify an item to make it fulfill the full purpose you've purchased it for. I have a smaller head, as I'm sure many other women do too, and this hat is still loose on the tightest setting for me so it needs to be able to be adjusted down to an even smaller size. The hole in the back is too small to fit a bun (better than a ponytail or braid for keeping sticks and leaves out of hair) which is how I wear my hair up when it is long.

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.

It’s hard to get you ponytail through but it’s a great sun hat.

I have a small head. I had to sacrifice the ponytail hole in order to fit my head better, but it was easy to do. I used a safety pin to attach the upper and lower parts around the ponytail hole and under the elastic band so I could have it sit better for my head. This changes the lines to not be smooth on the outside of the hat but does make it fit me. I do have to wear the hat low on my forehead so the wide brim does not get caught by the wind too easily.My second purchase of this hat in another color was not as happy as the first one as the brim was not correctly shaped (has dips and valleys). I tried putting it in a warm sunroom with a support underneath but it will not go into the shape it should be.

Having a sun hat where I live in AZ is a must. Other hats are hard and uncomfortable for my small head but this one is lightweight so I don't feel it. The neck flap is a huge plus to protect my neck. Having the space in the back for my ponytail makes it super easy to transition from off to on in a flash. It also doesn't mess up my hair much at all. 5 stars
