Good ventilation
This particular hat breathes very well. The ventilation system works. I live in southern Arizona. Haven’t had steady rain or heavy rains on it yet, so I’m sure it’ll drop and get saggy as the brim isn’t wired. Maybe upgrade on next edition? However it breathes much better than my Tilley airflow or my Shelta Seahawk. Another addition would be pocket in top to tuck strap away when not needed.
Great for large heads
I have a big head, and usually can’t find a hat that will fit my head. This hag though fits great! And it looks good. I am going to get a second one, so I can keep one in my car when we take an unplanned hike, and a second at home for when I take my walks locally.
Love this hat!!
I took a chance ordering this hat online as I have a small head, but its been absolutely wonderful for hiking and a sun hat. It can go in the washer and dries very quickly. I've used it every time I've been hiking and its been an essential item to my trips. It fits well and is adjustable. Keeps the sun and sweat off my face when hiking.
Great Sun Hat For My Big Head
I have had a terrible time finding a good sun hat due to my large head. I typically wear a size 7 7/8 in fitted hats to give you a reference. Most XL hats do not fit but this L/XL Sun hat fits perfectly. I am extremely happy with my purchase and will be wearing this all summer during my golf and outdoor outings. Will update in the future with any relevant information about wear and tear.
Finally Found A Hat For My Big Head!!!!
As the title states, I am so ecstatic that I found a hat that fits my abnormally large head!!! ;) I can finally bird watch like a true birder. Hat, binoculars, hiking poles, and all! Keeps my scalp from burning on long backpacking trips too! Anywho, it is very cute and I highly recommend it.
Perfect sun hat!
I purchased this Sahara Bucket hat to wear while walking and hiking. I have a small head so needed an adjustable hat! The Sahara Bucket Hat is perfectly adjustable with the cord at the base of the hat and with the drawstring! The brim is wide to provide good shade all around. The brim is firm enough so that it doesn’t blow upwards when it’s windy. The hat is cute and doesn’t look dorky! It’s hard to find a good hat and this one is a winner!
Nice bucket hat - I bought two!
This hat is light and comfortable hot days. Lots of vents for airflow. It has a bungee to tighten as well as a chin strap to hold it on in wind. The brim is pretty stiff and not floppy. I have this in brown for the trails and this blue for wearing on the water.
The Perfect Hat
I play ultimate frisbee and have tried several hats to try and keep the sun off my face during play, but they either too clunky/not tight or fitted enough etc. but I LOVE this hat. The perfect size to keep the sun of your face and neck without catching too much wind.
Great lightweight hat for hikes
This hat is so comfortable! It’s very lightweight and the elastic to fine tune the fit is great. I have a larger head and the L/XL fits well. It’s well ventilated, though the brim could be a little wider. The brim also does not droop which is nice.
Perfect for big hair and big heads
I really, really love this hat. I bought mine in the salmon color during the rei sale but didn’t get my bf one cause I didn’t think he’d like the color selection and opted to get him a black adidas bucket hat instead. I have now ordered him the blue island one cause we both keep reaching for mine. It is so breathable, comfy, and if you have thick, curly hair(which both of us do)it’s so nice to have a hat big enough to cover your head.
