Overview
A wide-brim bucket-style sun hat with UPF 50+ protection, an 8.5cm brim, and a neck flap that rolls up and tucks into a rear pocket when it isn't needed. Sold as unisex for gardening, fishing, and other extended outdoor time.
The retractable neck flap is what several buyers singled out over hats with a permanent flap, since it stores in a back pocket instead of hanging down at all times. Fit is the one recurring caveat, with the stated 22.44-24 inch range running tight at the top end for some heads.
- UPF 50+ sun protection
- 8.5cm wide, all-around brim
- Retractable neck flap with storage pocket
- Adjustable fit, 22.44-24in head sizes
Who it's for
Good for anyone doing yardwork, fishing, or beach time who wants a hat that can switch between full neck coverage and a plain brim look. Buyers near the top of the 24 inch head size range should expect it to run snug.
Pros and cons
- Neck flap rolls up and tucks away
- Mesh side vents and sweatband help with long wear
- Wide 8.5cm brim gives real face and ear coverage
- Adjustable drawstring fit
- Runs tight near the stated 24in upper limit
- Brim can sit wavy rather than flat
Performance notes
UPF 50+ fabric and the 8.5cm brim block most direct sun on the face and ears, while side mesh vents and a sewn-in sweatband are what buyers credited for keeping the head cooler during long wear. The neck flap rolls into a rear pocket rather than sitting permanently against the neck, and an internal drawstring adjusts crown fit.
