Reviews

UPF Hat

"Nice khaki colour to match my gardening gloves. I also use it on walks as an added layer of protection. Recommended to me by my sister and it is so useful for a multitude of activities."

— Gupta K. (5/5)

Lightweight, Comfortable protection

"This sun hat is both functional and comfortable for all day use. Dries quickly after a rinse and the dark blue color is Solbari's most attractive color in my totally unbiased opinion."

— Charles S. (5/5)

Absolute beauty for boating

"Solbari hats are the absolute best for the Aussie outdoors. From exploring the Kimberley’s in WA to whale watching off the Gold Coast and gardening in the backyard, this hat has been my essential accessory. The sun protection is amazing, it is cool and comfortable I forget it is even on. This is my second Solbari hat, my husband with stage 4 skin cancer ‘borrowed’ the first one and he loves it so much he won’t give it back. Are there design awards or sun protection awards? If so, enter guys you will come out a winner! Ps. You should be approaching Education Departments and designing hats for the school yard. Our future generations would thank you, as do I! Well done 👏❤️☀️☀️🚤🐳🦘🪴"

— Katrina K. (5/5)

Just as described

"I was hesitant about buying a hat online from a company on the other side of the world. But everything went smoothly. The hat is exactly as described. It fits perfectly and I like especially that the chin strap can be tucked away when it’s not windy. It took one week only to arrive here in South Western Ontario, Canada. I would buy again from this company."

— Joan F. (5/5)

Expedition sun hat

"I'm very pleased with my purchase. The material is light and flexible. It fits really well and provides plenty of shade for my head, face and neck."

— Michael B. (5/5)

Excellent sun hat

"Arrived pretty promptly. Great light weight sun hat, which provides comprehensive coverage for my head and neck, especially at the book. Look forward to wearing it on my walking holiday next week!"

— Richard B. (5/5)

Bought this hat for an

"Bought this hat for an upcoming trip. Lightweight, adjusts and has venting."

— Lilia R. (5/5)

Thank you so much for

"Thank you so much for this hat the fit is spot on for me it’s perfect in every way. I have been to Australia in recent years and know the importance of waring a hat like this. I did have skin cancer once. I don’t want it again. I'm a golfer so not having a hat like this with the summer we have had this year. It makes good sense to ware it. Once again many thanks."

— Raymond S. (5/5)

Great if it’s not really windy

"This hat is great in most regards, it’s lightweight, folds down easily - you could even stuff it in your pocket. Comfortable to wear and you can adjust the fit. It has a chin strap which means it won’t blow off your head - however if you wear it when it’s extremely windy (as it often is in the UK) the brim either blows down into your face or up leaving your face completely exposed - if the brim was a bit stiffer this wouldn’t happen but it’s too floppy. The only fault in an otherwise great hat but no good at all in windy conditions."

— Liz B. (5/5)

Great Sun Protection

"My husband likes this hat as it offers more sun protection than his old hat, which did not cover the back of his neck. The sweatband and chin strap make it a very practical hat for numerous outdoor activities."

— Ann A. (5/5)
