Reviews

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."

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."

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."

Viv M. (5/5)

Great sun protection

"This is the second hat I've bought from Solbari - this one lighter and easier to pack, good brim coverage, good fit and easily adjustable. Easy to care for too - sweat stains and dirt wash out easily."

Sarah G. (5/5)

Love this fit, style, ventilation

"Love this fit, style, ventilation and fabric. Lightweight, breathable and soft on the skin yet holds its shape pretty well. Im 5ft11 and for my height this hat looks in proportion. I’ve tried other brimmed hats and they’ve just not met the mark, this one does."

Paul K. (5/5)

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)

Wonderful

"It's rare in the UK the temperature warrents such a high amount of protection my son-in-law has terminal brain cancer and I purchased this for him. After a mix up in size the 2nd hat arrived as promised and Peter loves it. It's fantastic protection but also manages to be lightweight and look good. The staff I have dealt with have been brilliant."

Nichola H. (5/5)
