Overview
A wide brim boonie style hat built around UPF 50+ fabric, aimed at anglers and hikers who need shade for the whole head and neck rather than just a cap bill. Adjustable chin string and mesh side panels are meant to keep it in place in wind and let air move over the skin.
The brim covers the ears and back of the neck in a way a baseball cap does not, and the crown folds flat enough to pack into a bag. Sizing runs on the smaller side by several reviewer accounts, so anyone with an above average head circumference should expect a snugger fit than the listing suggests.
- UPF 50+ rated wide brim fabric
- Adjustable chin string
- Foldable, crushable crown
- Breathable mesh side panels
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers who fit the sizing praised the sun protection and secure fit in wind, with several noting it floats and holds up to light rain while fishing or kayaking. The recurring complaint is fit: multiple reviewers with average or larger head sizes found it too tight or small and wished for size options, with one buyer's own head too big for it though her seven year old wore it happily.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Wide brim UPF 50+ coverage for ears and neck
- Folds flat for packing
- Adjustable chin string keeps it on in wind
- Side panels snap up for partial shade on cloudy days
- Runs small for larger head sizes
- Only offered in one size
Performance notes
Mesh side panels and a moisture wicking sweatband are meant to vent heat during activity, and the sides fold up and snap in place when full coverage is not needed, a feature several buyers used while kayaking and hiking.
