Reviews

Fabulous and effective

"Beautiful, stylish hat that offers great protection. The chin cord is perfect for those windy days. I wear it daily and have had lovely comments. I love the material too."

Jane B. (5/5)

Love this hat!

"Recently went to the beach and wore my new Solbari hat! I was so protected from the sun! I love that it is foldable too and the material is beautiful and you can mold it to your own style preference. I had many people ask me where I bought it because it is so nice. Also, I finally found a hat that fits my head! Usually they are too small for me! The 2 sizes really helps. Thank you !!"

Roger P. (5/5)

I am very pleased with

"I am very pleased with this wide brimmed sun hat. It is just what I needed to keep the sun off my face after recent surgery. It is lightweight and easy to fold into a bag. I find it hard to find a hat to fit my big head but this one fits perfectly. Also, it was ordered and delivered within 9 days to Canada!"

Marion M. (5/5)

Ten out of ten

"This hat is very effective at keeping the sun off. The adjustable toggle ensures a perfect fit and the fabric is cool and soft. It also packs well with minimal creasing. I will probably get more colours."

Hemal P. (5/5)

My new favorite hat!

"I’ve had a few different hats through the years to protect my skin from damaging rays of the sun. My dermatologist has always recommended that I wear a good, protective hat. I had seen adds for Solbari hats, so I purchased one. Wow, talk about protection! It covers my whole face, front and back of my neck. It’s lightweight and easily packable. And it looks good. A few people have asked me where I got it. Yes, I love my new favorite hat!"

Mary M. (5/5)

Fantastic sun hat

"This is my 3rd wide brim hat from Solbari and I also have a few pairs of gloves and a big UV umbrella. Everything I’ve purchased from Solbari has been fantastic. The hat is simple yet elegant design that goes well with everything. Highly recommend them in hot summer days to protect your skin!"

CHIHYU C. (5/5)

Ultra Wide Brim Hat - Perfect.

"This is so soft and yet with the rim you can shape it as you wish. I did not realise that my head is large and at last I have a hat which sits comfortably on my head leaving no marks on my forehead as previous 'one size fits all' hats do. It is reassuring to know that my neck is covered and that the hat is UPF 50+, especially with these hot heatwaves we are having in England this year."

Sonja M. (5/5)

Chic and protected❤️

"It took a while for my ultra wide brim cap and my ultra wide brim hat to travel all the way to Greece, but it was worth the wait! I struggle with dark spots for over 20 years now and this is the first time I feel protected! I always keep one of my hats in my bag and so I go nowhere without it! I am looking forward to exploring the rest of the collection: for now I am flirting with the hand gloves and the sleeves, but I will have to wait a little, because my budget is pretty limited for the time being 😎"

Εγώ M. (5/5)

Great hat, though stains easily

"The UV is no joke these days. However, I can literally feel the difference in sun protection when I wear this hat. I love how easy it is to fold in half without damage, and to adjust the angle of the brim throughout the day. I contrast, I recently I wore a raffia hat with a pattern of holes in it for air, and that night I had burn spots on my forehead in that pattern."

Barbara L. (5/5)

Great protection and v comfy

"This hat has proved to be essential packing for hols. It's lightweight, folds easily and adjusts perfectly for a good fit. I love how it's reversible. It's very comfortable and provides great shade and protection."
