Henschel Safari

Looks nice and fits right. Price was right as well.

I bought this hat because I live in Bahrain and was worried about the intense sunlight; mid-day sun can be brutal here. I bought the Henschel 5301 (wider brim) at first but then decided to go with the Breezer since it is a bit smaller. Both fit great and the mesh over canvas brim keeps the hat in perfect shape. I wear the larger hat when out in the desert or at the beach for extended periods and the Breezer for every day wear to and from work. The open mesh keeps the top of my head comfortable.It is neutrally stylish, meaning it is not an Indiana Jones hat, and it looks a lot sharper than a simple canvas desert hat. I've received compliments and inquiries concerning where it was purchased and a couple folks who work with me have decided to begin wearing a hat themselves for sun protection. It makes a real difference in the desert sun.While the product information says it is packable, I am not convinced it would retain its shape as new so I elect to simply carry it or wear it.The price was very resonable for the quality and I am very pleased with the product.

This hat looks good, feels good, and is good quality. I measured my head and used the size chart on Henschel's website and it fit perfectly. I really like the fact that this hat brim isn't as big as some of the other "sun" hats so I don't look like a tourist everywhere I go. I also like that if I get caught in the rain I don't have to worry about it falling apart. It will certainly serve its purpose of keeping the sun off my bald head!

Nice hat, fits great, ordered a large and it fit my a little over 23 inch head comfortably, happy with color, lets air circulate while providing ample shade for head, but the hats packaging really ticks me off. Hat would have been better off in box without the packing, or at least only pack to the sides of the crown would keep the hat from being crushed. As it was you crushed the hat to half its size, when it fit the box just fine. Its a shame to abuse a product in this way. I can tell you don't have much pride in your product or in your job. Bad enough when shippers damage an item, but you should not do it before its shipped. That said I do intend to order another of these hats. I just pray you will be more protective of the items we purchase. The hat is not ruined, but I now have to try to remove creases that cause the hat to have an odd shape. It is a work hat for me so I'll make do. Better packaging....I would give it five stars.

I bought this hat for my husband to wear on our trip to Italy last month (August). I think that it looks really smart (although he says he feels a little "Indiana Jones" - I think he's just not used to wearing a hat) and he said it kept his head cool and not sunburned. The brim is a great width - not too big but large enough to shield nose and ears. I really wish they had these hats in a more "feminine" style - this is a great hat both for travel and all-around wear. It packs really well! A quality product that's even made in the USA!

I was concerned about buying this hat because of some complaints about poor packaging leading to damage during shipping. They must have gotten the message because my hat came well boxed with bubble wrap inside to further protect it. I've never been a hat lover because of the overheating problem but this hat is very well ventilated and keeps my head protected and cool. The rim size is just right; big enough to protect my head, face, and neck, but not too big. The large size fit my 22 1/2" head perfectly. I really like the style too.

Love the stylish look, mesh for air flow, brim for sun protection. I recommend for someone looking for a warm weather outdoor hat.

I was looking for a hat with good ventilation and sun protection. This really seems to "fit the bill," no pun intended. This is actually my second Henschel hat. The brim on the previous hat was much wider, this is proportioned nicely.
