Best Sun Hat I Ever Owned
I bought this hat several weeks ago and I just ordered two more of them, so that I will have one to enjoy for many many years to come. I have been using it when I work outside under the intense Florida sun. This hat has an elastic band in the back, which is great for me, because it fits me well when I wear a sweat band and also when I am not. The hat is light and airy, but protects my bald pate perfectly. There is a large brim in the front, which extends back over my ears. The fabric flap in the back is also light and comfortable and does an excellent job of protecting the back and sides of the neck from the sun. It has an adjustment feature, so if you have a small head you can tighten the fit to your head size. It also has a feature where you can clip the hat to your shirt on a 12 inch rope, which I seldom use unless it is very windy, as the hat seems to stay on fine, even in the wind.

Great for my purpose.
I bought this hat to hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and out at the end June. Unfortunately the hat never made it to the Grand Canyon. My uncle and I drove to Zion and did several long hikes during the longest heat wave of the year. The hat did a tremendous job. During a 16 mile hike through the Narrows, I didn't bother to put sun screen on my ears or neck. The hat provided such good coverage that I wasn't concerned about Sun Screen at all. The hat is made well, shields the sun, and breaths well. It fit me snuggly and I had no problems with it coming off my head. I would highly recommend it to anyone who planned to spend significant time in the desert. Sadly, I left the hat on a bus in Zion and didn't get to use it on my backpacking trip down the Canyon. The hat I used made me appreciate this hat much more! I should note, it is pretty dorky looking. You don't buy this hat for a fashion statement, but be prepared to be heckled by friends and family if you wear it in public...

Perfect sunhat and extremely comfortable!
I admit that I hesitated before purchasing this hat, as it seemed a little "over the top" as sunhats go, but I'm so glad that I ordered two -- one for my husband and one for myself! This replaces my husband's flap hat with a baseball cap brim, and is far superior in comfort, sun protection, moisture-wicking ability and ventilation, and it helps him stay cool under the sun whether he is doing roof work, exterior prep and painting, gardening, fishing or other outdoor activities. I wore mine for the first time yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by how well it fit and how comfortable it was. The sweatband is very soft and does not leave a mark. It is so much better than a straw sunhat, and bees and wasps are not attracted to the khaki color at all. The ventilation was excellent and it kept me cool in the hot sun, and the flap and wide brim allowed me to be out in the sun much longer. I even wore it when I went out to run errands, and two people asked me where I got the cool hat. Two other people gave me a wide berth and anxious glances as I walked past them on the street (it's the hat, folks :D) and as an old white lady it made me giggle to know that I was no longer "invisible" to them! Too funny. I definitely would not wear it to the courthouse, bank or church, though. Maybe the Social Security office. :D Seriously, though, we live in a windy coastal town, and I appreciate the cord and clip, as does my husband. Losing a sunhat while boating or fishing can have consequences of the sunburn kind. Hands down, this hat is my all time favorite. Over more than half a century I have purchased and received many hats... they seem to wander in and out of my life like cats and humans tend to do, but this one is definitely a keeper. So if you are looking for a great sunhat, don't hesitate! This is The One! Update on 08-03-2011: As stated in the description, the hat is labeled 100% polyester (not nylon, as one reviewer believed), and therefore should not be sprayed with certain mosquito repellents, such as "OFF" brand products. (According to the label, OFF will not damage cotton, wool or nylon; it should not be sprayed on synthetics other than nylon.) However, because the hat brim is stiff and wide, I believe it would be easy to add mosquito netting if desired.

Great hat
If you have been looking at something like this, you will know how much these hats can cost. I have seen some for $60 in REI. I did not want to spend $60 on something like a sunhat. This was the answer. I was on a 10 day trip to Peru. It gets really really hot there and sun was too intense. The flap kinda thing that it has on the back, might look funny when you will see this for the first time. But its a great thing. In the normal sun hats, if you bend down or in the evening hours, sunlight might fall on your neck. And most of the times, you will be wearing a t-shirt. So that gets a lil tricky there. Same with the bugs. Bugs tend to bite you on the neck. I sprayed permethrin on this hat and went in the dense forests of Bolivian/Peruvian border. While canoeing in the rivers (the sunlight was OMG intense) this helped me a LOT. In the forest, it saved me from getting bit by mosquitoes on the neck. I have kinda big head and it fit me just perfect. My buddy had the same hat and his head is a bit smaller than mine so he had to adjust the string in the hat to make it fit. Its one size for all and you can adjust it according to your head. Totally recommended.

Does its job well
Well made with decent materials, adjustable & fits well up to XL, brim offers adequate sun protection though it is a little floppy, has vents for cooling. Though hardly stylish, it offers good sun protection and a worthwhile, practical purchase.

Quality lightweight hat with great sun protection
This is a quality hat that is comfortable to wear, weighs very little, and offers very good protection for your ears, neck, and much of your face (depending on conditions). The clip on the string is handy to attach to your clothing if boating or in stronger winds (not something I've really needed to use, but a nice feature). There is also a small zipper'd compartment or pocket in the flap on the rear. The size seems adequate for an average/Med size head. My head is 57-58cm and the hat fit me without making any adjustments to the string. There is a bit of elastic material to accommodate larger heads, and the string could be used to tighten up for smaller heads. So unless you are far outside of average/Med, the hat should fit nicely. I use this hat when doing yard work. It would also be nice when at the lake or the beach. As others have stated, it may not be a fashion statement, but it's a nice looking hat that does the job well. And it's much cooler than using a handkerchief under a ball cap (my previous method for comparable protection).

I love this hat
Very comfortable. I bought this same hat a few years ago and absolutely loved it. It was comfortable and the bill and flaps were just the right length to cover my neck without interfering with my shirt collar. After much, much use and abuse, my old hat finally fell apart, and I searched for a replacement. After I couldn't find it, I purchased two other brands which were very disappointing when compared to my previous hat. I finally found this hat again and have been just as happy with it as my original hat.

Comfortable Fit
Holds up well. I use this when I mow and keep it hanging on my mower's control arms. It has good ventilation and keeps you cool in the summer. Comfortable fit.
