Sloggers Women's Wide Brim Braided Sun Hat with Wind Lanyard - UPF 50+ Maximum Sun Protection

Just beautiful! I have two, and the price is awesome for the quality! Got the darker brown earlier in the summer, and now this blonde one. Price is right, sun coverage is awesome - yes, you can wear it working in your garden all day long and brim is wide enough to cover a slim woman's neck, decolletage, and shoulders. Seems so broad on me (a slim woman), but when I catch a glimpse of myself in a shop window as I walk in my neighborhood, I am struck by how lovely it is, and not ginormous or weird on my frame at all! It's actually, dare I say it?!? STYLISH!I have worn this hat wine tasting in a flowy summer dress and gotten compliments on my "look." This sun hat isn't just for the garden, friends! Wear it to a garden PARTY, wear it to a picnic, wear it on a hike, wear it shopping with your girl friends on that charming street that has all the antique-y places!And just think, so many people are walking around in the L.A. sun carrying futile parasols or sweating away their chemical sunscreens! I have both hands free for my groceries and fun purchases and no nasty chemicals running down my neck, and better sun protection than any of those poor souls! This sun hat is just so practical, pretty, and purposeful. So glad I have two, and the quality and sturdiness is such that I feel sure they'll last a few summers to come!

This hat is FANTASTIC! I wanted one with a chin strap and it is comfy. I even like how the sides bow a bit if you have had it folded up the way it comes in the package. I like this type of hat way better than even the total sun shield fabric because those oddly still get super hot at the crown and this material seems to provide an insulated barrier. Love the color too. Thinking about the blue one to get next.

This is a very durable and nice looking hat! I work in a garden center where we're out in all weather types 8+ hours a day and this hat has been able to withstand everything.Pros:- The size of this hat accommodates many different head shapes. I have a smaller head to match my slender frame and this hat fits perfectly! I tried on a few different "women's" hats of several different brands, all of which were much too big. This hat fits comfortably.- The brim is wide enough to cover your face and neck while not looking ridiculously large (even on someone with a slender body type).- The material is flexible but still retains its shape even after rough and long-term use. (I've even sat on my hat a few times and it's still in the original shape!)- The hat material is woven together very well to keep the sun off of you while still giving the hat a nice lightweight feeling.- It protects your head well in the rain. In heavy rain, the hat will become soaked and begin to droop (which honestly should be expected. It's not waterproof which in my opinion is what allows it to breath well).- The "Wind Lanyard" is made of a soft pleather material with a simple wooden bead. The lanyard has been very durable and effective, even in high winds.- It's very easy to keep clean. Throughout the day my hat gets dirt, water, dirty water, and many other things on it. Rinsing it under some water and dabbing it dry with a towel has kept my hat stain free and still in great condition. I even spilled a soda on it once, rushed to the kitchen to rinse it off, and there was no stain.- I have gotten MANY comments and questions from customers about how nice my hat is and where they could get their own! This is a nicely feminine work hat.Pro/Con:This one is both a pro and a con depending on what you need: This hat offers no insulation in the cold. If your working outside in cold weather, you'll need to have a headband or winter hat to keep your head warm. Alternatively, the hat stays rather cool on hot days. In 98 degree temperatures, I was much more thankful to have the sun off my head even if I had to deal with the slight bit of extra heat I felt from wearing the hat.Cons:I haven't found any yet after 10+ months and counting.Conclusion:This hat exceeded my expectations and I'm planning on buying another one. I recommend giving this it a try. As long as it fits, you won't be disappointed.Hat dimensions:Women's Medium (Standard Size):22.5" head size w/ a 4" brim on all sides

Brim is positioned for visibility. UPF prevented neck burn walking on beach for 2 hrs. Strap kept hat on unlike ones of my friends. Well made. There are differences in styles. The blue ones are 1/4 inch smaller brim and crown although marked the same. The green, brown and gray(not shown) are superior. Please keep making the larger versions. I bought them for my sisters and they love them.

I have made several trips to Cancun. I needed a hat and the wind blows, so it has to have a string or you'll be chasing it down the street. This hat is perfect. I got the medium size which fits my 22-inch head well. They have an elasticized band sewn into the base of the crown so the hat "hangs on" to your head well.It says the hat is packable and you can bend it and fold it. it returns to its original shape after bending this way, but I worried after time in my suitcase or with pressure this might prove too much for it to retain its original shape. I decided to fill the crown with a nightgown and let the brim be flat among the clothes. This worked well.The braided fibers that make up the hat's material are not straw so this hat is not "crunchy" or brittle which I liked. It actually feels pretty flexible while at the same time not seeming limp. I got the "Sage" color which is more like a shade of gray to my eye.Overall this is a well made and good looking hat with good coverage.UPDATE: still lovong this and it has been on my head during multiple pool adventures. it doesn't discolor or lost shape. Really impressed
