Fishing 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!

Initial impressions were that this was a quality product. Flaps are detachable and light weight which is nice as it doesn't make the hat feel heavy. Having the adjustable brim tightness is a nice feature for a more snug fit. I am someone with a larger head and this fit comfortably. The flaps on the side also protect against the wind which can either be good or bad depending on how you look at it. Hat is overall lightweight and did a great job at blocking the sun from above and the sides.Neck is well protected and should not incur any sunburns. Will update once I have used it for a bit longer for longevity but wanted to put my initial impressions with you! Have a blessed day <3

I got this hat primarily for playing pickleball outdoors, and it’s been fantastic! The wide brim and neck flap provide excellent coverage from the sun, and the UPF50+ protection gives me peace of mind during long matches in the sun.It’s lightweight, breathable, and surprisingly comfortable to wear even during intense games. The adjustable chin strap keeps it secure, even on windy days, and the waterproof material is a bonus if you get caught in light rain.Although it’s marketed as a fishing hat, it works perfectly for any outdoor activity—especially pickleball. I’m very happy with the quality and performance. Definitely a great purchase for anyone who spends a lot of time outside!

Good all around hat but needs to be packaged in a way it can be shipped flat not folded and smashed in a vacuum sealed bag. It creases the brim and is hard to recreate in the right place. It is a pretty good hat other than that,it’s lightweight breathable and keeps the sun off your face and neck. Fits good also.

Not really, water still gets in through the vents, but that's not why I bought it. I have to wear glasses, and I like hiking. This works great when it rains. If you wear glasses you know what a PITA it is when they keep getting pelted with rain or even a light drizzle. The brim of this hat does a great job of shielding the glasses, way better than a regular baseball style cap. It looks kind of wicked too, it goes great with my leather trench coat.

While it isn't sexy, this is an absolute necessity for outdoor activities here in the valley. Great sun protection. Light weight, durable, and very practical. Easy to clean and store. The chin strap is great for monsoon season.

Sí tienes un familiar que trabaja al sol este sombrero es el indicado, para cuidarlo y protegerlo del sol no te quedes sin él tuyo 100 % te lo recomiendo

It’s a great hat fits well and holds it shape. I’d give it a five except that it has some awful chemical smell that I can’t wash out. I’ve already washed it. Everything that went into the wash with it came out smelling great, but this hat has some weird Manufacturer mothballs smell. If it wasn’t for the smell, it’d be five stars.
