"Must have if you have to stay in the sun"

i bought this hat when i went to some Asia countries. It will protect you from the sun, cover your face. it's also very comfortable every times i have to go to other country like vietnam, cambodia. i always choose this hat
I where it all the time. Holds its shape real well after being packed tight in my pack. Someone suggested getting a size larger than you think you need and use the draw string to make it fit. I say get the right size. Still though, I love my hat.
I got this hat to protect my self from the sun while outdoors. Last time out fishing all day i got burned with just a ball cap on. This hat is really nice, the fit/finish is superb. The hat has got an adjustable strap in the band so it is customizable as far as how tight it fits your head and the chin strap will keep you from loosing it if it did happen to get blown off your head. I am very happy with the hat.
I have a 23 1/8" melon and the large fits well. Anything more than that go with the XL because this hat is adjustable. It does not have a mesh lining on the inside but the material is light and breathable. It does what it should and keeps the sun off your face and is a light hat. It is lighter in weight than most baseball caps and provides much better sun protection.
The perfect sunny day hat. Full coverage sun protection. Lightweight and packs down to nothing. Go a size up, it has an elastic pull cord on the back to tighten it down on your melon.

Hopefully this wonderful looking hat will protect my bald head from this oppressive sun...And hopefully the shirt I ordered will get here before winter... All these cotton shirts I am forced to wear are killing me...
"True to size & flipping fun to wear whether on the trail or hanging by the pool"

This hat not only protects you from the sun, but also helps you style your way through those hot days. I've gotten a ton of compliments on it and have to say that it's a wonderful addition to my apparel that after having, I don't think I could live without. Great sun protection and comfortable fit!
"very good hat, keeps head cool, easy to wash"

The hat is good. Sizing is a problem for my head though, Large is a little snug, XL is way to big, wish it had the ability adjust a little. I have bought this hat 2 times, and now own 2 colors!
