KastKing Sol Armis UPF 50 Boonie Hat - Sun Protection Hat, Fishing Hat, Beach & Hiking Hat, Paddling

Play it safe and protect yourself from the sun when outdoors. I've read that each time you get a sunburn increases your chances of developing skin cancer. This hat is perfect for me when saltwater fly fishing... I tan easily and rarely get sunburned, except when I'm out on the coastal waters; then I need protection. This hat is very light, stays on, has nearly invisible ventilation holes, and an adjustable chin strap for security. I greatly prefer wearing a sun hat to slathering on sunscreen lotion. It also has a clever design feature where the front and rear sections of the brim are stiff, while the sides of the brim are soft. This keep the brim from sagging over your eyes or sagging onto the back of your neck. It also prevents the brim from flapping in high winds. I once tried a "desert" type ball cap with a sun shield on the sides and back, but the soft/loose fabric flapped in the wind and drive me nuts; money wasted. This hat doesn't do that. I'll be wearing this comfortable hat to keep cool on sunny days, not just for the SPF 50 protection it offers. I got the blue one and love the camo pattern. The hat came shipped flat, so there were no troublesome folds to try to work out of it. It has a draw cord inside the wicking head band to adjust the hat size via a cord lock on the outside rear of the hat. I usually wear a 7 1/2 or 7 5/8, and the hat was a snug fit with no adjustment of the cord. (If you wear a large or very large hat, this one might be too snug for you.) I enjoy lots of outdoor activities and have amassed a lot of hats over the years. This one is a favorite.

This hat is comfortable, well built, light and packs into a backpack easily. I like the adjustable bungee to fit my head snug and the chin cord kept it from flying off while running at speed. I hate wearing sunscreen but also don't like cancer so I choose to cover up when I can. This hat protected my face, ears and neck while on a week long marlin fishing trip in Cabo. It was light, dried fast and kept sweat out of my eyes. I bought the gloves from kastking also and the worked just as well. Overall it's a great value for the $ and I vmhave zero complaints. Would highly recommend.

Have not worn it much but hope to next Summer. Looks to be good quality so far.

This is a great hat. I was so bummed out when I left one on the bus. I ordered another one and it’s just as good as the last one. Great pattern on the color. Grey camo. Light and comfortable.

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) I recently purchased a Boonie Hat, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations in more ways than one. I couldn't be happier with this purchase, and I have no complaints about it whatsoever. One incident during my vacation in Cancun, Mexico, perfectly illustrates how much people appreciate this hat. During a catamaran excursion, a crew member actually approached me and asked if we could trade hats. I agreed. I ended up buying the same hat again because I simply couldn't do without it. One of the standout features of this hat is its eye-catching color pattern. It adds a touch of style to any outfit and helps me stand out in a crowd. Whether I'm on a tropical adventure or just running errands in town, I always receive compliments on the hat's design. Additionally, the material used to make this Boonie Hat is of excellent quality. It feels durable and comfortable on my head, making it perfect for extended outdoor activities. The hat provides ample shade and protection from the sun, which is crucial, especially in sunny destinations like Cancun. I believe this hat is suitable for anyone who values both style and functionality. Whether you're going hiking, fishing, or simply enjoying a day at the beach, this hat has got you covered—literally. It's versatile and fits well with various outdoor activities. In terms of comparisons, I've used other hats before, but none have quite matched the combination of style and functionality that this Boonie Hat offers. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend the Boonie Hat to anyone in need of a stylish, comfortable, and practical hat for their outdoor adventures. I'm thrilled with my purchase, and I'm sure you will be too. Don't be surprised if someone tries to trade hats with you—it's just that good!

Hat is a winner for sun protection—got this for my hubby, and he ditched his old hat immediately for it. The mesh sides keep his head cool even on hot days, and the quick-drying fabric handles sweat or splashes without staying soggy. The nice blue color looks sharp, and the UPF 50 brim provides solid face and neck coverage for fishing or outdoor time. He loves the comfortable fit and how it stays put, making it his new go-to. Highly recommend for anyone needing a reliable, breathable boonie!

I liked the hat; fit well and did a good job of keeping the sun off my ears. Gloves also fit well and prevented blisters between my fingers from a looong week of using a spinning rod. What disappointed me, was the hat doesn't float! The wind took it off while running at speed down the lake, turned the boat back to retrieve it and it was nowhere to be found. That would be my only complaint and why I rated it 3 stars.

Product is very light weight and comfortable. Very thin material allows it to breathe well and fold if needed. Washes super easy and dries extremely fast. It holds its shape well even after washing. It provides protection against the sun and i use it all summer. By far the most functional hat i own. Will be buying more.
