"My husband loves this hat! Instead of sunscreen, he puts it on when he goes out. He has three different colors to match his outfits. It's lightweight, breathable, and even waterproof for the pool!"

"For the price, this hat is amazing! It's waterproof, has a wide brim, and fits my husband's head perfectly. I ordered the X Large because he has dreads, and it fits well. This is my third time ordering this hat!"

"I am really happy with my Boonie Hat! It exceeded my expectations in every way. I even had a crew member on a catamaran in Cancun ask to trade hats with me! It’s stylish, comfortable, and provides ample shade. I’ve received so many compliments. I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone who enjoys outdoor activities!"

"I love this hat for my gardening and outdoor activities. After thorough research, I found this affordable option, and it offers great sun protection. It's light, has a chin strap for windy days, and the breathable fabric keeps my head cool. Plus, the color and style are fantastic!"

"I absolutely love this sun hat! It provides amazing sun protection with its wide brim, keeping my face and neck safe from harmful UV rays. The neck flap is a great addition, offering extra protection for my neck. It's also incredibly breathable and lightweight, making it super comfortable. Even on hot days, it keeps me cool and dry thanks to the 360° mesh vent and the sweatband inside. Plus, it's foldable and easy to pack, which is so convenient for my outdoor activities. This hat has been a game-changer for me!"

"Living in AZ, I bought this hat for my husband, who works outside most of the day. This hat really helps him! It does the job—air comes through and cools him as he sweats, while keeping the sun from scorching him. We ended up buying another in a different color, so he has one in each vehicle. He says his coworkers make fun of him, but he’s not the one dying in the heat, so who cares?"

"The little elastic drawstring in the band makes the hat fit snugly, keeping my hair out of the way while the light cape on the back shields my neck from the sun. The brim is wide enough to protect most of my face. All this for a very reasonable price!"

"I got this as a gift and they loved it. It looks just like the pics! Nice quality."

"I often go on long hikes in very hot weather. I was about to spend over $50 on a boonie hat but decided to try this one first. I'm glad I did. It's better quality than I expected for the price. It blocks a lot of sun and is lightweight and breathable. The air ventilation holes are functional and help keep my head cool. This hat fits perfectly for my medium size head, and I can adjust the tightness as needed. Highly recommend this hat, even with a slightly floppy brim."

"I've bought three of these boonie hats from different vendors, and they all come from the same factory. They are well made and a great value under $15. The sizing is surprisingly big for a 'one size fits all' hat. I have a huge head and wear a size 7&7/8, and it’s snug but manageable. If you wear sizes 7&1/2 or 7&5/8, these will be very comfortable. Great for matching camo loadouts or hunting attire!"

"My husband is so pleased with this hat! I will be ordering more colors for him. Thank you for the quality and price!"

“I love this hat! My husband wears it all the time.”

“The quality is impressive despite the hat being a bit pricey. It fits true to size and is comfortable. I think I’ll get years of use out of it.”

“This hat is perfect for floating down the river or working in the hay fields! I especially appreciate the wide brim—it’s great for sun protection.”

"I wear this hat daily while landscaping at high altitude. The extra-wide brim keeps the sun off my neck, and I appreciate how it sheds rain. I did have a bit of trouble with the washing instructions, and it crimped after drying, but overall, I still prefer this hat for hot conditions."

"The price point for this hat is fantastic. It fits well, and the brim is perfect for keeping my face and neck shaded. While it arrived folded, it still maintained its shape after two summers. I'm very satisfied overall!"

"Living in Hawaii, I needed a hat that offered substantial sun protection for yard work. This hat is light and airy with plenty of ventilation. It's slightly large for me, but the adjuster helps. I'm happy with the coverage it provides."

"I was initially skeptical about this hat's durability, but it has become one of my favorites. Despite its flimsy appearance, it has held up well against my active lifestyle, even during fishing trips. It’s lightweight, has a stretchable sweatband, and provides great sun protection. I’ve even bought more for friends and family, and they love them too!"

"I purchased this hat for a hike in the Smokies when rain was forecasted. It performed excellently during the entire trek. My head was the only dry part of me when I reached the top. The brim kept rain out of my neck, and it fits my large head comfortably. It's affordable and crushable, making it easy to pack."

"I wear this hat on all my dog walks, no matter the weather. It effectively blocks the sun and stands up to strong winds. I once got caught in a torrential downpour, and this hat kept my head and face dry. It's become a must-have for my outdoor activities."

"I absolutely love this GearTop hat. I purchased it because my doctor recommended I wear a wide-brimmed hat for sun protection. The color is just right—not too light or dark. It fits my large head perfectly, and it’s incredibly lightweight. The drawstring allows for sizing adjustments and keeps it secure even on windy days. The ventilation system is fantastic, keeping me cool while providing excellent UV protection of 50+. I get compliments on how I look in this hat. It truly ticks all the boxes for a perfect hat!"

"I bought this hat for my trip to Australia, and it was fantastic. While it may not be as cute as my straw hat, it’s highly functional with a wide brim that offers great protection. It packed well, and although it had a crease, it didn’t affect its performance. The hat also held up during rain, shielding me and drying quickly. It’s definitely going to be a staple for my hiking and summer lake days."

"This hat is attractive and appears well-made. The brim is wide enough for ample sun protection and does a decent job against rain, although some drops can get through the mesh. I wear a 59 cm (23 1/4") hat, and this one is slightly snug, which is not a bad thing since it stayed on during a gust of wind. I’d recommend larger sizes consider a different model."
