DOCVITFishing Hat for Men&Women,Outdoor UV Waterproof Wide Brim Bucket Hat,UPF50+ Sun Hat with Neck Flap

9 bucks! Well, okay..I now have to protect my skin from the sun while working outside the house or generally anything that exposes me.This is the second hat I purchased with neck/side of face 'curtains' for lack of better term.These have good dome covering and with barely adequate side ventilation afforded by coarse mesh above each ear.I no longer have 'long' hair so I do not need to ponytail out the back. The first hat had this feature, but the second (this) hat does not have such provision. It does sort of but not easily done.The first hat I bought had the curtain sewn onto the hat (not removable) but no brim on the back so the fabric curtain tends to lay on your neck, making it a hot blanket of sorts, and led me to purchase this second hat which I prefer wearing it over the other because the curtain on brim back tends to keep away from the back of my neck.This hat has a 360 degree, wide brim so the fabric curtain hanging down stays away from your neck, helping to keep cool. The brim is about 1/8" thick and seems to be a sewn material-covered foam sort of sheet. Not exactly rigid.The one-piece curtain is removable via snaps. Since the curtain covers roughly 240 degrees of the brim circumference, it partially obscures the peripheral vision but this can be altered using the snaps.Add to this a rechargeable neck fan and you have a nirvana setup!The hat is made of very light and soft synthetic (polyester?) material (mine was all light grey) and was packaged in a large flat.Remarkably dinky for the size and easy to spindle, fold and stuff into a pocket. The fit is adequate for all size noggins, due to an adjustable drawstrap. The sweatband is same synthetic material and maybe not very absorbent to perspiration and perhaps resistant to sweat rot.In windy conditions the curtains tend to flap around.. somewhat annoying but tolerable. This could be minimized by trimming the length of the curtain? Or maybe fishing sinkers, hmm.. probably not a good idea there.I feel kind of dumb wearing this goofy hat.It does seem to attract funny looks, but bollocks to them.. I'm no fashionista and NOT getting sun burnt!

For the price, this is an excellent hat! It's very light weight. I was worried it would be too big, but it's not. It's the perfect size for my head. I'm 5'3" and female. It has a little room and is comfortable, while still being tight enough to my head that it doesn't move around. I love the fact that the side is detachable. It completely puts your face in the shade without being too heavy or making you sweat more. I love it! I'm allergic to the sun and break out in hives horribly every time I'm outside and having this allows me to go into my garden without having to worry. I plan on ordering a few more now that I've seen how it fits. Definitely recommend!

Compré este sombrero para mis días de pesca y caminatas largas, y ha superado totalmente mis expectativas. La tela es ligera pero se siente resistente, y lo mejor es que realmente protege del sol gracias a su UPF50+. La solapa para el cuello es perfecta porque cubre muy bien y evita quemaduras, además se puede quitar si no la necesitas. También me gusta que sea impermeable, así no me preocupo si llueve de repente. Es cómodo, no da calor excesivo y se ajusta bien sin volarse con el viento.Sin duda lo recomiendo si buscas un sombrero completo para cualquier actividad al aire libre. Muy satisfecho con mi compra

I wear this while I maintain our Little League Baseball field. This hat fits my head comfortably (I wear a size 7-1/2 hat) with a tiny bit of room to spare. The side shade keeps the rising and setting sun from beating up my ears and face. The cap in the back protects your neck. The hat breathes well and sweat evaporates easily. When I walk through sprinklers and work in the rain this hats protects the head and dries easily. It folds flat for storage and has a wide brim which helps partially protect your shoulders from overhead sun. For the price I really like this hat and would definitely get another if I lost this one. Durability seems to be good. I’ve machine washed this a couple time already and it still looks brand new. This is lightweight and a decent wind blew this hat off of my head but the string/strap did its job and kept it from blowing away.

Comodo y ligero para cortar la grama hacer trabajos externos

Bought this and a portable misting fan for my husband because he works in hvac. So imagine being on a roof in 110 degree weather in AZ. I can't, but he has to and works in it for looooooong hours. Since I've bought him this he says he is so much cooler. He loves the extra side flaps and he says his co workers are jealous because they're hot and he's not. He appreciates the adjustable strap and the wide brim. He uses it all throughout his day and makes it that much easier.

Husband really likes how it covers the side of the head to work outside and not have the flaps so close to your head/face. It helps with the breeze and not feel so hot.

Super good. Love it. The sun is annoying but now I can work outside ok lol.
