I often struggle with hats purchased online as I have a large head 61cm/62cm (7 5/8″) depending on manufacturer – however, this hat fits well and has a draw-string for smaller bonces. I can’t accurately gauge the sun protection as the hat has only been worn in an English summer thus far, which has been a bit overcast, but the waterproofing is fine! I may return to review again once the hat has survived the monsoon climate it was purchased for… it is certainly very lightweight!
I have no idea how I’ve only just found these Columbia hats but I am addicted.
Simple adjustable design really does fit all sizes and I particularly like that I can adjust it for if my hair is up or down and therefore thicker or thinner. It folds into nothing and was light and comfortable, keeping my face shaded but my head cool and has a handy chin strap for windy conditions. Definitely the best I’ve had.
I used this on a 30 mile hike on the hottest day of the year so far. It kept the sun from grilling me to death especially on the first 15 miles which was mostly very exposed. The rim can flap a bit but I personally barely noticed. The mesh is a god send especially if there is some breeze. The fit was perfect and the chin strap kept it in place even during some pretty strong gusts. Quite frankly it did the job it was bought for and did it excellently I was very happy with it.
I didn’t research this hat enough prior to purchasing two of them. Whilst they are nice looking hats that fit well, I have to question how much protection from the sun the large area of mesh provides – I would envisage having a tan in the shape of the mesh!
It makes no sense to me for what is being sold as a sun hat with UPF50 protection to them have areas that are open to the sun, therefore allowing UV in.
I’ll stick to my Outdoor Research and Craghoppers for now as neither has any large vented area.
A great hat for the garden as it washes and dries nicely. Nice wide brim to keep the sun off and the string on the chin keeps it from blowing off in the wind.
Anche con il sole a picco la testa resta incredibilmente fresca. Protegge anche il collo, non d fastidio perch leggerissimo ed il cordino lo trattiene dolcemente dalle folate di vento. Inoltre molto bello esteticamente. Il cappello perfetto!
Non freschissimo come credevo ma buono per riparare dal sole. Funge da mini ombrello x il sole. Ogni tanto si sente la necessit di toglierlo perch a tenerlo solo si suda ma dopo un po’ si sente la necessit di indossare nuovamente
Consiglio BIANCO
adatto per la testa pi grande del padre di 62 cm e la testa pi piccola della figlia di 55 cm Blocca completamente i raggi ultravioletti e blocca completamente l’acqua che fuoriesce dal rubinetto Le prese d’aria laterali mantengono l’interno del cappello asciutto, il che perfetto.
Otherwise it does the job nicely, cool to wear, and about as stylish as it’s possible for this sort of hat to be (which isn’t much).
It is easy to roll into 2″ tube and put in golf bag.
Compared with Nike golf hat, brim is quite thinner, lighter, and so flexible.
**The wind flips brim so easily.**
Chin strap can be hidden inside, and will work nicely on windy days.
The material looks to be very breathable, but I never took it out as the adjustable string hangs down and cannot be removed like other’s similar. I can say that it was very lightweight when I tried it on and could see someone getting the proper use from it, but I preferred to have a removable string.
Puede colapsarse de la parte superior para su manejo y transporte
El ala del sombrero es de 8 cms suficiente para proteger del rayo del sol
Es fresco y puede ajustarse con la correa ademas de contar con una extension que permite fijarlo en caso de que el aire sea muy fuerte.
100% lavable, puede mojarse y recuperar su forma
Bought this hat for using in summer hikes and coastal rowing as protection from the sun. Very lightweight and comfortable with adjustable strap. Plenty of air circulation help to keep sweat away.
Only negative remark is that this item is not very good to be used in very windy conditions as not rigid.
It’s lightweight and can be folded small enough to be stuffed into my trouser pocket or you can just let it hang behind your head. It’s a hat for life.
In all seriousness, very lightweight, breathable, and durable. It’s my second of these hats (my first is desert sand coloured in case I need to camouflage myself when fighting off bad guys in Egypt; this one was for mountain camouflage). And the strap is effective without you having to garrote yourself to stop it flying off in the wind. My one gripe is the slightly flimsy rim, which occasionally decided to buckle right over my eyes and blind me. If this is likely to annoy you, a study pith helmet might suit better.
I wanted a hat that was pretty much go anywhere do anything and would give me good sun protection and feel comfy. This is a great hat with a wide rim and very flexible fit. I cut the straps off because I don’t like straps under my chin but there is an elastic bungee at the back which does the job perfectly and having just been out in a strong breeze I can confirm it stays put.
Great hat, albeit (as some others have suggested) the brim is a little floppy.
Bought to wander around Disney and Universal this year and i saw a few of these there doing sterling service keeping owners heads protected from the sun.
I ordered this hat for my daughter who is off trekking to Morocco, on Sunday. The delivery was due within 7 days and it actually came on Wednesday ! I am so impressed with the hat – it is good quality , for the money and extremely impressed with the time it took to arrive – 3 days – think it came from Germany. Its a bit big for her but will give her the shade she needs and has a toggle to adjust it, so it wont blow off. I tried it on and it fit me perfectly, so I must have a big head. Anyway, I would def buy again. Well done
Perfect fit although you can make adjustments if required to make it a bit bigger or smaller.
Only criticsm is I wish the brim was a little stronger. However it still holds up well enough and absolutely does the main job with ease
Purchased hat specifically for cruise, and is exactly what I was looking for. Packed great – took it out of suitcase, and it looked good as new.
The design kept sun off, while keeping me cool. I normally get extremely hot walking around the islands, but with this hat, I really did feel cooler. Love that the inside of the rim is black, as it deflects the sun from my eyes, face, neck. The mesh does allow for air flow.
We had to take a tender in one of the ports, and one of our excursions was on a glass-bottom boat. The drawstring on the hat kept it snugly on my head.
Have not washed it yet.
As usual w/ Amazon the delivery was prompt and the item I order was correct. I do like the product and the hat was described well on Amazon. The only disappointment was that my white hat came with a big black smudge on it. The hat was packaged in a “protective” plastic sleeve but there was what looked like some kind of graphite / black dust inside the protective bag which marked the top portion of the hat.
That is the risk of ordering on-line but I’m not going to pay shipping charges to return for another. I bought the hat for being out on the water and figured it will get dirty soon enough. It is disappointing to receive something new that is already marked though.
