Reviews

Brilliant hat

"I bought this hat in navy blue and l'm really happy with it. Decent size brim to give all round protection, it's light and airy and tucks away easily into my rucksack or bag. Easy to adjust at the back and can be worn with or without strap. I recommended to a walking buddy and they bought one too but in grey. I immediately feel better in hot sun wearing my hat with f50 sun protection."

Ladies Expedition Sun Hat

"This is the 4th hat bought from Solbari. They are all good quality and offer a good standard of protection in the heatwaves we are experiencing in the UK. I have bought jackets, shirts and swimwear all a pleasure to wear and giving the confidence to get outside."

Jennifer S. (5/5)

Great hat!

"My husband is a window cleaner and was getting to much sun on the back of his neck just wearing a baseball cap. I bought him this hat and he says it’s good to work in when it’s extreme hot and sunny."

Elizabeth C. (5/5)

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."
