SolbariUltra Wide Cotton Linen Hat UPF50+ UV Protection, Sun Protective Hat

This hat is beautifully made. The fabric (I really wanted natural fibers, and 80% linen was even better) and stitching are top notch. I love the colors and that it's adjustable to fit. Another great feature is the covered ponytail slot; a lot of hats with the ponytail feature have an open hole, leaving an exposed patch on the back of your head if you don't have your hair tied up.It does a great job shading my head and neck. With such a large brim, the chin strap is a must, though I do wish it could lock into place for windy days.I decided to update this review and raise my rating from 4 to 5 stars. Yes, it looks kind of goofy on me (lampshade), especially since I'm short. I'm really glad the brim is wired so I can adjust it a bit, but at the end of the day, it's about function, not form.If I could have tried it on in person, I would've gone for a style with a smaller brim. But seeing as it came from Australia (I'm in the US and didn't realize it was coming from overseas) and I love everything else about it, I won't bother with an exchange. I received my order in only 5 days! For $7.95 shipping, that's a bargain.

Gets a 5 star rating because1 Sturdy well made hat that is true to size and actually fits my large head2 I can pack it in a suitcase without hurting the hat3 Looks stylish enough to wear around cities and towns but also suitable for bushwalking and the large brim provides good sun protection4 Clip on chin strap means it wont blow off when sailing or bushwalking but can be removed if you don't need the look that day5 Dispatched promptly and arrived 6 days ahead of expected date so I am happyNote it is more a tan colour than cream

I bought this hat to take on a recent cruise. I got a size larger than I thought I needed and it worked out great. The hat is lightweight, very comfortable to wear and the wide brim is awesome. I love that you can shape it to your style preference with the internal brim wire.. The strap is durable and very useful on windy days. The sun protection and breathability of this hat is great. This is absolutely perfect for being outside and wanting to keep your head cool, while keeping the sun off of your face and neck. It folds up nicely and is perfect to take traveling. It more than met my expectations. It's fabulous!

I haven’t washed it yet, but I’m very glad I bought it so far. It’s cool and comfortable and while providing great shade, the wide brim is so designed (sloping down) that it doesn’t catch on my collar at the back, nor interfere with turning my head side to side - unique among the very many hats that I have. I can even wear it driving, with the brim at the front turned up my peripheral vision and head turning is not compromised, while my eyes and the side of my face can be protected from the low slanting sun. I feel stylish and protected with this hat.

I really love this brand’s products. This is the fourth hat I've purchased, and it's my favorite so far. It feels cool to wear and provides excellent sun protection without obstructing my view. Even after wearing it for long periods, it doesn't give me a headache. My skin is extremely sensitive, and UV exposure easily causes redness and peeling, but all of this brand’s hats offer great protection. I’m really pleased with it.
