I bought the blue bucket hat for a Florida kayaking trip and it was great! The cord that holds it on was totally necessary because we had wind gusts and other people's hats were blowing off. I did let my granddaughter borrow mine for awhile.

Thomas
[ Got tired of putting sunscreen all over my ears and back of neck for walks/runs, and this has great sun coverage! It stays cool even on warm runs. Love the ponytail opening and adjustable tightness, but I do n't use the hanging drawcord. I probably should, because this catches in the wind and blows off a little more than regular baseball caps if it's not adjusted tight. My friends assure me it does n't even look quite as stupid as I was worried it would, but the goal is sun coverage, and for that it works great.

Bought this a week ago to wear while playing golf. Upon trying it on, I was impressed with several features.. how well it was made, the unique fitting system,& the sunglasses holder.. however, it convinced me that I am more of a visor person.. an extremely nice hat for a much cheaper price than some competitors.. sadly, I returned it..

Careful reviewer
[ I bought this to work outside on hot days, and it works well for that. I have n't tried it on a super hot day yet, but suspect it could use a bit more breathability for those conditions. It provides full coverage from the sun and still gives you pretty good vision. I did n't buy it for looks, but I think it looks cool in kind of a dorky way. The sizing is a bit big, I 'm a 7 1/2 hat size and got a large, and have to cinch the strap down pretty much to get it to fit tight, which wrinkles it up a bit, but I tried a medium and it just was n't quite big enough. It is nice to have the adjustability, which you do with an easy pull strap. The colors are great and the price is fair.

Suzi
[ Bought this for sun protection while walking and hiking. I live in AZ and the sun is brutal. But my challenge is finding a hat that has great ventilation as well to keep me from over heating. This hat hits all my requirements. I should probably also wear it playing golf but.... sorry... need to have a sun hat with more style for that sport. But for walking, running and hiking it is PERFECT

[ I am a runner and a hiker in the strong sun and heat of AZ; this hat provides just the protection I need while being light and airy enought to feel like it's not there for my runs/hikes!

[ I have bought this hat for my children for years and everyone else I know has too! I just purchased a size M for my 4 year old. The tag says it is for 3- 6 year olds, just to give you an idea of the sizing. My just- turned 7 year old needed a size Large. Great for keeping off the sun!

Sam M
[ I bought these last month for my kids and I and we wear them all the time. They are so easy to pack and we bring them along whenever we are going to be in the sun a lit. We wear also wear them while we swim in the pool or lake. I have a very small adult head so I fit in a large. I also got my 3 year old a large because he has a pretty big head. It is a bit big on him, but not too big that it is uncomfortable. He 'll be able to eat it for years to come. I got my 5 year old the other version in a medium as he had a small head like me and it works great for him. They are expensive but worth it!!

Rostapher
[ This kids hat has all the quality& features of an adult hat! With the size adjustment strap in the back it will fit now and for years to come. It has excellent, wide brim sun protection, mesh ventilation& even reflective strips. The brim has a fold in the middle so it can pack down small and fit in a pocket or any pack. It also dries quickly so it ’s great for water activities as well. It also stays on very well as kids play& have fun. If she ever grows out of this one, we ’ ll get the next size up.

snuz55
[ The hat seems to fit well as I do have a relatively large head. It blocks sun well. Given I live in Florida, I have not been able to test in the rain yet. I read conflicting reviews on how waterproof it is. I plan to use for long hime in Portugal later this month. If I encounter torrential downpours, I will also have a waterproof hood to wear over top. I think the color I purchased is fine for what I need.

Yes, I 've already tested this hat in a storm and was delighted that it performed as advertised. Quite unlike others I have that leaked around the brim in heavy rains.
