Reviews

Stylish and Practical

"The hat was delivered promptly. It is an attractive shade of blue, wide-brimmed enough to protect my face and neck and verified to be Sun Protection Factor 50. zit will fit in a coat pocket comfortably and is reasonably priced. Does what it says on the tin !"

Thomas M. (5/5)

The perfect hat at last!

"A hat (other than a baseball hat) my husband will actually wear! It’s cool, light and protective. It’s a great colour with a trendy design and because it’s adjustable I was able to buy it on line without worrying about the size of his head too much. The under chin strap means he can’t use the wind as an excuse to take it off! I’m so impressed I’m considering buying one for myself!"

Jane M. (5/5)

Great hat to ensure sun protection in the garden

"Lovely green colour. The brim was floppier than I expected but fits my small head well due to the adjustable fitting and is very well made."

"I brought this for my husband thinking he would hate it as he is a cap wearer. It came and he is very impressed with the coverage on his neck. Also he likes that it isn't as tight as a cap and is more comfortable and let's his head breathe."

Great hat for safari

"I’m planning on wearing this on safari, it’s the perfect colour, it is UPF 50+, it fits well, and has a strap so that it doesn’t blow off in the wind."

Louise L. (5/5)

Both Hubby and I have

"Both Hubby and I have had skin cancers and found it hard to find a hat that actually covers your face completely from the sun, we love the hats we purchased, would definitely recommend to anyone. They are lite to wear, look good and the length perfect, best sun protection hat we have found"

Tracey C. (5/5)
