NEW-Vi Umbrella Hat Folding Adjustable Sun Rain Cap, 37.4” UPF 50+ UV Protection Large Hands Free Umbrellas, 7-Ribs Waterproof Headwear for Fishing Gardening Golf Sunshade Outdoor

Bought because it looked funny and was low cost. When it arrived, it appears functional. It may be used as a hat in the sun and also as the rain umbrella. Covers the head and shoulders. Also can be used for light reflector for flashlight taking professional photos and videos. Very small packed. When opening, first stretch the "ribs" if the umbrella, then pull the rope. By the way, the picture in the ad shows it open incorrectly. They are made from silver reflecting fabric, I chose blue exterior, but for sun shield it probably would be better to pick another variant with silver side up. Buy - you will surprise friends with it!

I believe that there is a video that goes along with this item, and everything in that video is 100% accurate. This is a great product. I purchased two of them for my household, and no one has been disappointed when they used it out back to cut grass, or do yard work. I was happy to be able to use it during a light rain here in San Diego where we barely ever get rain. It allowed me to be hands-free, giving me the opportunity to hold a doggy umbrella over my corgi during a walk, and it was nice to not hold two umbrellas at once, in order to cover myself and the dog.

It protects my face from the sun and it securs well on my head. My Co workers loved it.

This is a GREAT purchase. I made a funny video post reviewing this hat because it is wild looking. However! The functionality of the hat is 👌 I honestly love this hat and I don’t care that my friends laugh at me when I wear it 😆 I stay dry and have two free hands:)

Durable comfortable and it works to keep you cool or dry. I used it day after day for several weeks in sunny 95 degree weather while working in open forests and it still works. To make the top stick up you have to pull 3 or four pegs out then put them back in and you then have a vented hands free umbrella. The rubber for the head band is the same as inflatable swimming floats use. Soft comfortable with a little stretch. I used to use a wide brim hat but there was always a trade off with protection from sun and the added heat that gets trapped around the head. This vented umbrella hat takes care of that. Also its great for looking at a device . The shade on the arms and shoulders adds up after a few hours to less drain on the body from the sun. I recomend it and with the added comfort you have or the hands free aspect you can be proud to wear it.

Not very durable at all. Purchased for work and inclement weather and boy this did not hold up well at all. While it was raining I opened it to use and ended up being soaked while on my route because it’d broken so badly on so many places. I gave up trying to fix it. I wouldn’t recommend this product to others.

Nice idea with caveats. It’s not the most comfortable headband I’ve ever had on my head. I couldn’t wear for prolonged activities without developing a headache. It does provide a reduction in facial sun exposure. I wouldn’t try to use in any significant wind. The mechanism for expanding and retracting is quite cheap but works well. The umbrella opens and folds easily. I just wish the headgear had any comfort to it.

Love it. Wear it mowing in my large backyard. Very hot it the summer, but this decreases temp by about 10 degrees - makes a big difference!
