HLLMAN Men’s Wide Brim Sun Hat-UPF 50+ Protection,Waterproof Bucket Hat for Fishing, Hiking, Camping,Breathable Nylon & Mesh

The wide brim on this hat provides excellent sun protection. I use it when gardening or working around the house and I appreciate the shade this thing throws. The wide brim also helps with Deer Flies, which we have a lot of this time of year. I think the brim confuses them and they don’t know where to land.With all this said, this hat does have its deficiencies. First, the sizing material used for keeping the brim stiff digs into my forehead. This occurs despite the fact my hat size is at the lower limit of the product size specification (58 cm). The internal head band material doesn’t seem to provide enough cushion to alleviate the pressure. When wearing the hat for extended periods it becomes somewhat uncomfortable. I would imagine this to be a more significant problem if one’s head size approaches the upper circumference specification (60 cm). It is important to note that if your head’s circumference is less than 58 cm this hat will not fit you. The drawstring mechanism will not pull the hat tighter than it’s minimum inside brim dimension (58 cm). If your head/hat size is like mine, you will find the hat to be loose fitting.Additionally, the internal head band material does not appear to have much capability to absorb perspiration. Unlike my Columbia Booney Hat, for instance, I find perspiration running down my face in no time with this hat. I would recommend to the manufacture of this hat to beef up the head band material to alleviate this problem and the issue with pressure points.In summary, if you’re looking for a hat that will throw a lot of shade, this hat is for you. It may not be your most comfortable hat however.

Love it!
