Awesome for sun protection
This hat is great at keeping the sun out of your face, and it is stylish. It is a bit warm, as it does not let much of a breeze through. I haven't tried "crushing" it in a suitcase, I've filled inside and around it with clothes and it travelled just fine. This hat goes with neutral and black toned outfits! The inside band is adjustable to tighten on your head, but I haven't needed to adjust that at all.
Great sun protection and attractive
I just bought this hat last weekend and wore it on a long, beachside walk today. It gives great shading and sun protection, is lightweight, and fit well on my rather large circumference head. It does have an adjustable internal band which was left loose for me, yet it stayed put. It is listed online as a men's hat, but I bought it in the women's section in the store, and find it to be quite attractive. There is no under-the-chin tie to hold it on, so probably not best for windy conditions.
returned in less than 24 hours
It's a well made hat, but -- for me -- a bit heavy, and the band that's attached has a couple of beads on it that make noise when you walk... I decided it was likely to drive me crazy, so I brought it back to the store. Thank you, REI, for your excellent return policy.
Sol Seeker...Super Comfy!
Fabulous hat! It's stylish, comfortable, and adds much-needed protection from the sun with a UPF 50+. The inside has adjustable band ties, and the outside bead accents entwined around the leather ties add an element of fashion and fun! I will definitely be purchasing more hats from this company.
Love the hat!
Bought the hat for our beach trip and photo session….it was a hit!!
This is a really nice wide brimmed hat. It folds up nicely and returns to its original shape. Looks great and fits perfectly. It has the ability to pack up nicely for travel, however, because it is made of paper, it gets just a tiny bit frayed when roughed up in a suitcase. If you are buying a hat primarily for travel purposes, I'd recommend going with a different material such as the Lucia hat which is made from raffia. Otherwise though, great comfortable hat! When this one wears out, I will probably purchase another.
This is a very comfortable lightweight hat that looks great with pretty much everything. My only lament is that it is partially made of paper so it can't really get wet. Also not ideal for packing...I packed it in a suitcase for vacation and it looked a little weathered when it came out. It will not crush down into a purse, so if you don't need a hat ALL day, you will need to hold it. But other than that, it's perfect for sunny days when I'm staying local. I'm glad I bought it.
Sol Seeker Hat
I was surprised to find after purchase that the content of the hat is 50% polyester 50% paper. It dies not look or feel like paper. This concerns me for the longevity of the hat. I’m wondering how it will hold up in rain. I have worn the hat only three times, twice fir yard work and once for a weekend camping trip. It is cool comfortable and stayed on in light wind. My baby’s grabbing at the brim did not damage the hat.
it's a nice soft hat and the UPF 50+ was a good selling point, but I didn't know that this hat was 50% paper because it wasn't on the tags or I probably wouldn't have bought it as you can only wear it when it's sunny. in small print the tag says to avoid rain or wet conditions so if you're out and it starts to rain i guess you have tho take it off and just get wet yourself!
A True Classic Sun Hat!
I love this sun hat! The quality and the size of the brim is just perfect. I also love that it is adjustable. I will be wearing this all summer long in the Texas heat. This is my third hat from Sunday Afternoons and I am sure I will be buying more hats from them! The hat box they come in is great for storage and it has a cool print on the inside.
