Super hat I love this hat. One-size hats never fit me - this is sized, with a cord for additional fit adjustment. It's lighter and cooler than the straw hats I'd been using. The large brim keeps the sun off well, and the chin strap keeps it on - a feature I don't like to do without. Very practical, but also looks great on - not frumpy or droopy.

I LOVE THIS HAT I wore this hat to Hawaii and it was great in the sun. I love the extra wide brim for sun protection. I had others ask where I got it, they liked it so much. It fits great and doesn't make my head sweat. I now have 2.

Light and Comfy I love this Sombrero hat!Bought it for an upcoming trip to Ecuador. Like the way it extends a little longer in the back to shade the back of my neck. It's light as a feather and very "packable" - probably best packed flat. Fits great - finally a hat large enough for me and yet adjustable. Nice feminine touch - a pretty embroidered flower on the back. Just read that it is guaranteed forever! Nice to know. Hope I never lose it!

cool hat great hat because of the longer brim in back, and the brim is strong but flexible, and the top is very lightweight. also, good having chin strap. only drawback - might be even cooler with some kind of mesh in top instead of only the light material. got one for me and for Mom - she's got to keep her face, neck out of the sun, she loves it!

Great Hat! This hat not only provides ample sun protection from its wide brim but it is also UPF 50+. Waterproof and easy to compact I take this hat all over!

Great hat made for sun protection I bought this hat to keep the sun off of melasma that I have on my face. I love the cord that keeps it from blowing off when you are outside. The wide brim protects your face but still looks attractive. It is very well made.

NICE STYLE, BRIM WRINKLED I LIKE THE DESIGN AND STYLE, BUT THE MATERIAL ON THE BRIM IS WRINKLED. IT IS AS IF THE FOAM INSIDE THE BRIM IS TOO BIG.

Fantastic hat! I love this hat. I bought it to wear on vacation in the Caribbean and was never without it during the day. It's light, packs well, provides great protection, and the cord held it on well in the wind & on top of the dive boat. I ordered according to the size chart and it fit just great!

Easy to wear I recently moved to Hawaii and needed an all-purpose hat. I wear this at the beach, the farmer's market, everywhere! It's lightweight and protects the face very well.

Good hat for keeping the sun off the face. I loved this hat. The only problem I had was when
it was really windy,because the brim is big.
I was glad it had a chin cord so it didn't fly
away.
Since I have a big head I was glad to find a hat
that wasn't a one size fits most,because usually
they don't fit me.
I also liked that it packed away in my luggage
but came out looking nice.
