        As a person with 100% vitaligo, sun protection is an absolute must and this hat fits the bill perfectly. I bass fish 50 plus days a year in tournaments and recreationally. This is 5th one that I've owned. Like the bill shape insert. Absolutely recommend this hat.

          Looks dorky, but great hat. No sunblock.

          Comments about Sunday Afternoons Sport Hat:

          I have been using this hat for years now. In hindsight I can't believe I paid this much for it but I would do it again in a heartbeat.

          BOTTOM LINE:
          Have something to protect your head during rains and this hats perfect brim will handle everything from extreme sun to severe hailstorms and adjust as needed in between. I never carry sunblock and this, combined with a longsleeve hiking shirt and pants have kept me burn-free through the past 5 years of hiking.

          PROS:
          -the brim is wide enough to block the afternoon sun, but can easily be "folded back" while still maintaining a small brim so you can get added visibility in less sun without taking off the hat

          -lightweight

          -floats

          -"redneck" protector works and it stays velcrod up if you want the extra little ventilation

          -simple neckcord, pretty plain and works fine nothing unnecessary

          -The big one; I list it under cons as well: It is not waterproof. When it rains the hat will absorb the water and get wet. HOWEVER, combined with a rain jacket hood worn -under- the hat, it works **beautifully**. The hat will get wet, but the brim is thick and water does not drip in your face. Although the brim prevents water from dripping into your face, you still need something to protect your hair or your head will get soaked.

          CONS:

          -It is not waterproof. When it rains the hat will absorb the water and get wet. HOWEVER, combined with a rain jacket hood worn -under- the hat, it works beautifully. The hat will get wet, but the brim is thick and water does not drip in your face. I list this under cons only because the hat itself is not waterproof (on the top); although the brim prevents water from dripping into your face, you still need something to protect your hair or your head will get soaked.

          -Despite being awesome, it is still a little pricy

              This appears to be a great hat for the right people but too weird/feminine for me. I don't mind things that are a little weird but this one is just a little too much. It went back to be replaced by the REI Vented Explorer.

                  Comments about Sunday Afternoons Sport Hat:

                  In sunny southern Nevada sunglasses are not enough - sun gets to your eyes from the sides and top... Regular hats were helping with blocking rays from the top only, caused my head to sweat excessively and were frequently blown off my head by wind gusts. This hat protects from the sides and is exceptionally light and breathable, so sweating is no longer a problem. Strap holds the hat in place in windy conditions and lets me hang it on my back when I get inside for a while - heavier hats give me choking sensation in similar situation, but this one is so light I can barely feel it. I was afraid that neck veil will be causing additional sweating on the back of my neck, but it did not happen. My only wish is that REI had it in more colors...

                    For several years I have been looking for good protection from the sun as I have a nursery and am in the sun alot...Having skin cancer I had to find great coverage..This is absolutely the best I have found, especially with the light weight and the option of the neck protection...Adjusts instantly to head size and hair style of the day...Have taken it to many countries and will buy another when this is worn out.

                      Comments about Sunday Afternoons Sport Hat:

                      I've taken this hat to hike Yosemite, safari in Africa, and climb Kilimanjaro. It's also been on plenty of local trips to the park and beach. It's comfortable and I love having the pony tail opening when my hair get lots.

                      My only complaint is that the material used to stiffen the brim doesn't fold well. Over time, visible creases appear all over the brim after washes and when the hat gets crushed in suitcases. Just an aesthetic issue, but sure wish the hat was more crushable.
