Sunday AfternoonsSolar Bucket Hat

Love that it has sun protection built in. It is light and cool.

Love the new colour and shape. Keeps sun off my face.

I bought this hat for an extended vacation trip to Southeast Asia where packing space was at a premium. It worked fine for sun protection on extended hikes with limited shade at locations such as Angkor Wat. It is packable and easily fit into one of the outside compartments of my small day bag. The ventilated construction also helped with the humidity, and the chinstrap was essential on some of the open air transportation modes we took. It laundered well in a lingerie bag in the washing machine and regained its shape when dry. I ordered my usual hat size and found that this one fit just a little snug around the top of my forehead, not really uncomfortable but I would have preferred a slightly looser fit and would recommend ordering the next size up if available. I gave it four stars instead of five because of the slightly snug fit, and also because the brim is somewhat narrower than I expected, such that the hat provides inconsistent protection of nose and neck areas if you are doing something really active in the sun.

This is a great brand (Sunday Afternoons) and is worth every penny. It is a great value considering the quality of the hats and lifetime guarantee! This bucket hat is really functional AND stylish - this one looks less like a camping expedition hat (I own two of those!) and more of a beach hat, which is more "street friendly". :)

Starting to get a collection of Sundays hat. Hard to find anything better in price ranges.

I got this hat from Amazon recently and have worn it on several hikes. It arrived flat in a plastic bag which was not a problem at all as it popped into shape upon wearing. I like bucket hats for outdoor wear for several reasons. The down-turned brim is not as affected by wind as other styles and provides good sun coverage for the size of the brim. and they are usually crushable like this one for easy storage in a pocket or pack. This hat from Sunday Afternoons has several features that make it a fine example of a bucket hat. It is made in Vietnam. I am an avid hiker and backpacker and have noticed that a lot of high end gear from respected companies such as Osprey is made in Vietnam, so the Vietnam label is usually an indication of high quality. It is made out of nylon which means it won't shrink and will dry fast. It has vent material on the top of the crown which lets out heat in hot weather. It has a cinch strap on the back which allows it to be tightened up for a more refined fit. It has a neck strap so it won't get blown off in the wind. I am a man, my hat is size 7 1/2, or somewhere thereabouts, I normally wear large and the size large of this hat fits me perfectly. And finally sometimes I am teased by my hiking buddies about the dorkiness of my hiking hats, but the general consensus about this hat seems to be that it looks like a hiking hat but isn't that dorky.

My son LIVES in these hats because of his chemo sun reactions. He is 9 and graduated from Sunday Afternoons’ child sizes. This is perfect because of the size changing band and the bendability. And so breathable here in the hot south! We have 4 and keep them anywhere, scrunch them up, wash them, ANYTHING! So durable.

My head size is in the middle of the listed large range, but it is way too tight even on the loosest strap setting. 3 stars because it would have otherwise been a great hat

Muy cómodo. Buena calidad. Precio justo.

Light as a feather. Good price, durable, washable, packable, crush proof. I like the chin strap for windy days.
