Sunday Afternoons  Charter Hat

I wore this hat all summer love it! I am legally blind so the shading works really well for me

I've owned this hat for at least 7 years, maybe longer. Its been with me to many national parks, monuments, campsites, and countless other adventures. I've got a small head so the internal size adjustment helped out a ton and Ive not touched it since I set it to my size way back when I first bought the hat. I really don't feel like myself out on the trail unless I’m wearing it. Its light enough that I don't notice it and robust enough to keep the sun and rain out of my face. I love this hat.

I actually expect quite a lot from a hiking hat and this one meets every requirement. Here is what this has going for it: - Looks good - Comfortable - The brim is wide enough to keep much of the sun off your face, but not so large as to interfere with a backpack that rides high - I love the gimmicks: place to put sunglasses, pocket inside, vent at top My only complaint is that it only comes in medium and large. I'm 6' 3" and over 200 pounds (not a small guy) but still wear a medium with the adjustable strap tightened considerably. (It should be noted that I have almost no hair on my head.) Getting the right hat has taken me some time--lots of missteps. I'm so pleased to have found this one.

I'm only giving this hat five stars because I can't give it seven. I just worked all day in my yard in 100 degree heat, and not a single drop of sweat rolled down my face. The hat kept my face shaded and kept my head cool. I've had a whole series of hats for hiking and gardening, and this one beats them all, hands down. The material is lightweight but the brim is stiff, so it doesn't sag when it gets wet, and I 'm sure it would hold up in a stiff breeze.

Purchasing hats is always difficult for me as I am in between sizes which is why I love the adjustable fit of this hat. I also really liked the extra features such as the internal pocket and the sunglasses lock. Despite hours standing in the rain, the brim did not lose its shape and did well repelling water. I received several compliments on the hat the first weekend I wore it at an outdoor music festival where it did a wonderful job protecting me from the sun and the rain.

Had mine for a few years now. Everything has held up well, except over repeated saltwater spray exposure, the rim will warp on you. Haven't found a good way to return it to its original shape. Might be able to avoid a little if you hand wash immediately after exposure but who is honestly going to do that

Great hat. The El Paso sun is brutal, but this hat blocks it very well. I was worried it wasn't wide enough to provide shade, but it has it covered, pun intended.

... I wish it was lighter. Maybe extend the mesh portion lower or less structure in the crown. However, it seems to be lighter than the competitor's hat...at a lower price. I use it for golf and it does a great job covering my face. Despite my gripe I'm very happy with this hat.

So happy I chose this hat. Saw it on the way to checkout to purchase another option. Tried it on and loved the features. It's been great on day hikes so far. Looks good, vents well, holds up in wind. A great hat so far.

I bought this charter hat about 3 weeks ago for a trip to Alaska and really love it. The hat is lite, has a great fit and holds its shape well. It also has a feature for storage inside the hat. Lastly, there are slots in the hat that hold your sunglasses. I will buy this hat again when this one wears out.
