Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Unisex design. Durable nylon poplin material features moisture-wicking and UPF 50 sun protection. Has a drawstring cord. Available in versatile neutral colors that include sage, boulder, steel, fossil, grill, white, and peat moss.
Nonetheless, our testers were crazy about a thick layer of mesh that wraps around almost the entire crown of the hat, providing superior ventilation. Any remaining sweat was wicked away by a thick sweatband that dries quickly.
Drawcord is easy to adjust for different head sizes
Adjustable size options to fit every type of head structure

What reviewers didn't like

Size runs on the small side. Brim is somewhat floppy, which could get annoying in windy conditions.
One thing we don’t like about this hat is the lack of a rigid brim. In the wind, the floppy brim flies up against the forehead, exposing the nose to sun rays.
Not the best pick if you need to dress up
Brim almost floppy in looks with no definite structure, almost like a floppy hat.
