SUN CUBEWide Brim Sun Hat Men Women, Fishing Hats Sun UV Protection, Mens Hiking Bucket Hat Safari Beach Boonie, UPF 50+

Size looked like it would fit and the brim was wide to keep the sun off my face. Seems very good. I'm going to order a couple more in different colors.Size:Most hats L/XL don't fit my large head but this one is quite comfortableSun protection:Brim extends out enough to keep the sun off my face and back of my neckLightweight:Very light and I like the side vents to allow a bit of breathing.

Good size. Just what I was looking forward to fit my head.

Best $19 I've spent!!This hat is light weight, really soft material!!The bits that tighten the strap is very well designed and Doesn't slip like other cheaper designs!!The neck flap is attached such you don't have to worry it will fall off, and is complete around the back so no mosquitos get in!It's nicely foldable so you can put it in a pocket or backpack easily :)I'm so very pleased with this purchase!!Btw, 100spf!! Much needed sun protection for my pale skin ;)

The Sun Cube wide brim hat is made of light weight synthetic material and has a really wide 4" brim, great if you are walking in the desert or on the beach. I wear mine to the annual fair and would have prefer a slightly smaller brim so I could see better when I look up. It keeps my head cool and protects my neck and face from the brutal sun.

I've got a couple of these hats. LOVE THEM! (Why I bought a second) I've got a big head (physically big) and most of these type hats are too small. And I have no hair. I really need to protection. It's cool and comfortable. Wear it in the pool, mowing, hiking. Pretty much anytime I'm outside. I like the strap for windy days, but usually stuff it up inside the hat. Same with the cape. I usually use it to protect my neck, but it's nice I can stuff it as well.

I wear this "boonie" hat almost every day for sun protection and I like it so much I'm buying another back-up hat. I wore it all over northern Italy. It folded well into my backpack and came out looking exactly the same. The brim is thick and feels like a nice cotton duck although it's not, its polyester. The brim thickness allows it to stay in shape so it doesn't flop down or look like a potato chip. I have a $65 (cotton duck) Tilley hat and I prefer this hat because it does a better job at protecting me from the sun with a wider brim. I also like how light it is. The top is round with a flat top. Therefore, for a man, it has the look of a Vietnam era hat worn by our soldiers in the jungle. According Wikipedia: "The boonie hat was introduced to the United States Armed Forces during the Vietnam War, when U.S. Army Green Berets began wearing them in the field, along with Australian and Army of the Republic of Vietnam units." If you google "Vietnam Military Hat" you'll see what I mean. The mesh vent hole on the side are generous and help with airflow. And how can you beat the price which is more than fair for a hat of this quality (in my opinion)?

The black-colored mesh portion of this hat doesn’t completely block out sunlight, and subsequently, Ultraviolet Radiation as claimed in the product description.The mesh seems to be a two-layered design with front and back layers differing in size, but not at specific positioning to block holes at each layer—forming a zigzag-type design.The lack of this pinpoint positioning means sunlight can bypass through the holes at certain, different angles.Even if it was specifically offset, multiple layers would still be preferable to only two to ensure that sunlight cannot subtly seep through the holes.Another point of interest is the product tag pointing out (subtly, I may add) that the mesh portion is not UPF-rated, meaning the mesh could be entirely or weakly incapable of blocking the penetrative capability of UV.This would be equivalent to having two large, exposed openings on the sides of your head.The inconsistency of the mesh’s ability to block sunlight at all angles and the obscure nature of the mesh’s resistance to UV makes this hat a tricky buy for those who frequent their time outside (especially in the afternoon or near the equator where UV levels are the highest).Technically, your side hair could block sunlight at these potentially exposed openings, making up for the mesh’s pitfalls, but the variation of hair length and thickness may not guarantee full protection for the long term.You could also wear headgear below this hat that covers your head (or at least the sides) to offer full UV protection, but then the intention of having the mesh for ventilated cooling of heat build-up in the head is nullified.Other than that, the hat is too tight for my forehead, while the adjustable back strap on the top doesn’t significantly change the pressure applied to my head.The wide brim blocks sunlight very effectively, covering even beyond my neck portion (looking straight).The chin strap works well and allows enough adjustable freedom for seeking one’s comfort.The hat came folded in a plastic bag, but I haven’t seen or been disturbed by any noticeable creases that is often a point of contention for buying outdoor hats similar in design.The color of the hat came slightly darker than what is portrayed in the product photo (light gray), so color accuracy may not be fully representative of which colored hat you purchased.Picture 1: Sunlight (and UV) bypassing the mesh. It may not seem like a lot, but awareness of these subtleties could be vital for those it may concern.Picture 2: Tag stating that the mesh portion is not UPF-rated, meaning its protective capability for UV protection is in question.
