UPF 50+ Mens Wide Brim Fishing Hat with Neck Flap Sun Hat for Men Women Sun Protection Cap

I’m here re-ordering a couole of thses hats. I purchased a couple of them 2 years ago and I really like them. I lost my light grey hat when my neice was visiting and borrowed i to ise at the beach. 🤣 You know how that goes! I’m glad she likes it. But it left me with only one, and I used it every day in the late spring and throughout the summer, and early fall, I use it zwhen walking my dog or doing yard work. It’s still in great shape, very durable but lightweight. I want another to keep for when I’m going out with friends during the summer (I’m in a seaside town.) Plus another to have on hand for when family visits and forgot their own. They fit nicely, and I must have the adjustable slider string because otherwise all hats just fall off my head! I do like the flap that coveres the back of my neck - it doesn’t itch, has venting, and keeps me from getting subburnt. But it also folds back nicely into the hat when not needed.

Nice sun hat that covers my neck. I haven't worn it enough yet to validate or not the claims that the flap doesn't prevent sunburn....I can't judge that yet. I have sun damage on my neck and I'm hoping this is the good protection I need. Good so far.

Happy with the hat. It is lightweight with nice brim size. Good purchase.

PROS > Wide brim. Well made, simple design, adjustable crown size, removable adjustable neck strap, air vents in crown. > Non-removable, neck flap keeps the sun and insects (including mosquitos) off your ears and neck. Because the neck flap is non removable, it can't get lost nor can insects crawl around it > Light weight. Lies flat -- takes up little space in a suitcase. > The light weight also means that you can let the hat hang on your back by the neck-strap (e.g., when you are in the shade and you want your hair to dry out on a hot day). I also have a "more fashionable" straw hat that I use for travel in more urban areas -- but it is heavier, and the neck-strap strangles me, if I let the straw hat hang on my back. > The full brim provides extra protection when the sun is low (i.e., early in the morning, or late in the afternoon) --- such as when fishing. CONS > Underside of the brim is the same color as the hat. A similar hat I have of a different brand is black below the brim, which reduces glare, and is particularly helpful when taking photos. > Removable neckstrap attaches by plastic fittings, which could potentially break --- probably not soon, but perhaps after a few years when the plastic dries out. > Neck flap is non-removable. Yes you can push the neck flap of the "Home Preferred" cap up into the crown, but then you've got a double thickness of fabric (holding in the heat) and you've blocked the ventilation vents in the crown. > The wide brim on the sides and back, plus the neck flap is a little bit redundant. That is, a "baseball"-type cap with a neck flap would provide nearly as good protection (at least when the sun is relatively high in the sky), and would be less subject to flying off in the wind. CONCLUSION > Seems to be a great hat for minimizing a combination of sun, heat, and insects. > Less ideal in windy conditions or when used without the neck flap (i.e., with the neck flap pushed up into the crown). AFTER ACTION REPORT > I wore the hat daily for about three weeks on a cruise of the Caribbean and Amazon River. Oddly, I rarely noticed mosquitoes, and did not need to use the neck flap as a bug barrier. I did notice that the hat caught a lot of wind, and would have blown away many times if not tightly secured with the neck strap (which I also ran under my uppermost shirt button for extra security). I'll consider a hat with a removable neckflap, or a "baseball-type" cap with a neckflap and neckstrap, if taking a similar trip in the future.

great hat to protect from sw okla sun

I love this hat—the amount of protection from the sun is great. I even wear it in the winter with a head band for extra ear protection. During the summer it is lightweight and comfortable on hot days. It is packable. The neck flap discourages insects. Inexpensive, well-made, washable.

It's light and I feel secure from the sun with it on. Ive been hollar'ed at in jest for this hat so prepare for to grab attention some unwanted and some wanted. The back flap is unnoticeable while wearing it. It does tend to fly off in the wind but the chin strap works well. It's not very durable from like use I've pulled on some of the back part but it's not bad. It's breathable. You have a sense of being in the shade while wearing it. It does get rather bothersome while working but it's be great for sitting or walking.

Hubby loves these, uses for work, protects from sun, washes easy, loves the color and quality.

I previously bought his product 10yrs ago, bought again as I liked it so much. However, the latest version is really poor quality, feels really cheap and isn't worth the money.

Good quality and light

Got for my husband And now getting one for myself. It’s light, shades my eyes. Very comfortable and the string is great in wind or just when not wearing hat would recommend

I use this hat every day in my garden - the best sun hat I have every bought!
