I 've been trying to use hats that were too small for far too long. They always gave me a headache. I finally did some research and ran across Sunday Afternoons which has some nice brimmed XL hats and I got this one. The fit is perfect and always felt secure even upwind. The big brim is great for keeping the Florida sun off my face, ears, and neck. Best of all, no headache.

I bought this hat for a recent trip to Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands. It exceeded my expectations; it was simply outstanding. It is lightweight, breathable and provides significant coverage from the sun. Obviously, the equatorial sun can be brutal but this hat kept my face, neck and ears covered from the rays. I was also very pleased that the design of the hat allows for folding without causing the hat to lose its shape and become created or distorted. It is one of my all- time best purchases. Thank you!

I have similar hats but they pale in comparison to this one! This is my go to for walking, rucking, hiking, everything outside hat. Love the shade coverage, the strong brim and a place to safely store my sunglasses when losing daylight! The grey is perfect- not too dark or too light.

Great fit, coverage and it looks great. I ’ m a gardener by trade and picky about my hats. This is my favorite hat, ever!

I misplaced my other sun hat like this one. I love that it folds and that the brim does n't flop up in the wind. It provides lots of shade without looking completely dorky. I have n't tried the sunglass holder yet, but it's cool that there is such a feature.

Great quality hat. I love the color and am looking forward to wearing it this summer.

5 Lissie
I am normally not a Hat Person, but this one is terrific! I ordered the size medium in the color opal, which is a a light off- white. It's very flattering in every way-- size, fit, color. It shades my face without blocking my view. The fabric itself is lightweight= cool, not flimsy. So... can I give you 6 stars on this one?

A well made hat, just a bit too small for my head. I would buy it in an extra large if you made it in that size. I like the brim, just the right depth for protection, without interfering with my collar. I have another one of this style that I purchased several years ago, and it is still my go- to hat for the out- of- doors.

4 Jo
Very pretty hat but not sure the top part of the hat is SPF 50 although the brim is. Top part fabric very sheer.

This hat is great for very sunny conditions here in the south. I it not heavy or bulky like some wide brim hats. Cleans well and very easy after use. Wear them all the time when out in the sun for extended periods.

5 Brian H
Great fit. I use it for rafting, fishing and hiking. Keeps the sun off the face and neck.

5 Saundra G
I couldn ’ t love this hat more…. unless it transported me to the beach. It ’s a go to hat for summer hiking and a day at the beach.

5 Linda
Love the weight, size and color of this hat. It also has excellent coverage from the sun.

5 R. Brickman
Since it doesn ’ t fold up, I put this terrific sun hat at the bottom of my suitcase, underneath the rest of my clothes. My husband also has this hat, and I got the same size, a large. So, that is a consideration when ordering. It really protects from the sun and isn ’ t too hot to wear in the heat.

I like the lightweight style and the fact that I can adjust it if the wind comes up.

5 K Smith
Sport hat- good looks and coverage makes it my favorite.

5 Cat Woman
Great hat for keeping sun off your neck and face. Saw this hat on two women at a protest. It was sunny and hot that day. I had to have one.

5 42wolves
Stays on head. Brim does n't flip up in the wind. Provides more shade than a ball cap. I needed something like a visor, but with fabric on top, because my broad- brimmed hats hit my pack when I 'm backpacking.

5 Thomas
I love boonie hats, but the Sport Hat can keep out all angles of sunlight. It is feathery light on your head, but it is still rugged. This is my third one as others finally wore out or got damaged. This hat will stay in place in a strong wind if you cinch down the chin strap. I wear it kayaking on big expanses of water with no wind break. The L/XL hat fit me well. I hope that Sunday Afternoons keeps selling these hats forever.

I bought the Sunday afternoon Cruiser after seeing it in a plant store in Florida. It immediately became my go- to sun hat. It's comfortable, fits well and stays cool. Now back in Michigan, I bought another, for up here!

5 Jim
This is an awesome hat. I ’ m actually on my second one!

5 Claire
Best Hat I ever Had. I have a small head and the medium cruiser fit perfectly. Great hat rim, rigid enough to not bend, pliable enough to be comfortable even in windy conditions. I 've hand washed it and it keeps its shape- has just the right amount of sun coverage and is n't hot to wear- Excellent workmanship!

5 OldDog
Great fit& style. I like the extra shade length for the neck. Cleans up easy..

5 Leeann
Love these hats! The size large fits both my 4 and almost 7 year old girls great!

5 Barbara
I love Sun Day afternoon hats! This is my second, and it's reversible. I 'm a small- headed adult and the hat fits perfectly. I 'm always glad to have the strap to keep it on in the wind, because even a small breeze lifts other hats off.

5 Nancy
Lightweight, breathable, wide brim for good sun coverage My 4 yr old granddaughter who normally doesn ’ t like to wear a hat, will put this one on to go the park or the beach. it ’s flexible and it ’s shape bounces back without knocking it off their head if they were to bump it

5 AdventureOn
Great sun hat for my 10 year who loves being outside. The cinch ability allows for extra usage as she grows. She likes the chin strap as it ’s windy where we live. Lightweight and two hats in one!

Great hat! Adjustable for perfect fit. Great color. Every SAH I 've owned( 5) has fit like it was custom made. Charter hats, Havana hats, ball caps, they all fit great, look great and last long! The Arizona sun is brutal, this hat lives up to the test. You really ca n't go wrong with a Sunday Afternoon Hat. They are reasonably priced and ship fast. Do n't forget your hat!!

5 Marc
Great company! This was my 2nd replacement hat from the original. Can ’ t beat their replacement guarantee!

5 Roy G
This is a great hat for any who spend a lot of time in the sun. So much cooler than most ball cap style hats. Much better air flow and space for your head to breath. It is an excellent choice for any fisherman who spends many hours out on the lake like I do. Provides great comfort and sun protection as well as shading your eyes so along with your polarized sunglasses one can see deep into the water. Speaking of sunglasses you will find the built in sunglasses holder alone is worth the purchase price!

5 Rick P.
Love this hat, fantastic coverage from sun& comfortable fit.

5 Mike
Great hat... Unfortunately only lasted a week. Ordered it for my wife before a cruise... While on an excursion, the hat, despite being chinched under her chin, blew off into the water and we could n't recover it. Would definitely buy it again.

I needed a hat for an upcoming paddle through the 100 Wild Islands off Nova Scotia. This over- priced paddling hat with great sun/rain and neck coverage will surely do the trick.

This hat does the job. The long rear brim sheds water down your back, not down your neck. Comfortable to wear all day.
