If you’re looking for maximum sun protection, our full sun-sombrero hat will be your go-to choice for headwear. The fabric is also made with the same tough, super-lightweight rip-stop nylon. Mesh panels are built into the front and back for optimal air flow. A closed cell-foam brim will keep the hat afloat should it fall into the drink, and it will maintain its shape over time. A safari cape offers full rear-neck protection; and when it’s not in use, the cape can be tucked back into the hat sleeve and hidden from view. Finally, a drawcord will keep the hat snug for those windy afternoons.
This is a great hat. Ive had mine for several years now and it still looks terrific. It has a very deep crown at 4.5 and the brim offers ample protection from the sun.I recently decided that Id like a new hat as this one was starting to bore me. I figured Id purchase a Tilley hat but even though Ive tried a couple of them out Im comparing them to this hat and am disappointed in them especially for the difference in price.This one is excellent value and is remarkably durable.
I have a closet shelf full of hats and the Sun Sombrero is currently my go to hat for sunny summer days. For a wide brim hat it is surprisingly good at handling wind without blowing off or flopping around too much. The chin strap and the cord that facilitates tightening the hat on your head are perfectly designed and make the Sun Sombrero work better for me than any other summer hat I have tried.
I love the Sun Sombrero. It fits very well and can be snugged up in the wind. The neck cover tucks away unnoticed when not in use. Water repels off nicely. Very protective and comfortable.
Almost the perfect hat for me wide brim adjustable fit sun shade that tucks away in the back light weight and properly vented for my hot head. The only negative is how the brim flops back when in wind. I ride my bike around town a cruiser so I'm not really a speed demon but in a mild wind the front brim always pops up. If the brim were a bit stiffer I'd give this a 5 star rating.
Being fair skinned I get sunburned frequently and do everything I can to hide from the sun. I own many similar hats but RR's is my go to. Fits great (and stretches enough to be worn over a beanie on cool mornings) chis strap available for when it gets windy (I just tuck it in the hat when it's not) wicks sweat and does a fair job of repelling rain.
The Sun Sombrero looks good fits very welland is very lightweight. The main reason I chose this hat over others was the stated 4" brim size. The rear is 4" but the front is 3.5" and the sides are 3". The hat covers the neck well even without the cape which stows in a pocket on the underside of the brim. I work outdoors and was looking for a little more protection from sun glare. Will still add to my collection.
