I like to walk to the stores and wanted protection while ...
I never knew this type of visor/hat existed, but once I saw it, I knew I had to have it.I'm 27 and I take sun protection seriously. I use a variety of products which make my skin extra sensitive to the sun (like tretinoin). Additionally, I am very pale and want to avoid sun damage. The fact that this hat rolls up is invaluable to me. I like to walk to the stores and wanted protection while I am out on sunny days. I was hesitant to buy a sun hat because I couldn't imagine lugging it around in the store with me. This visor/hat is the perfect solution. I can stuff it into my purse or keep it in my car for impromptu picnics or walks in the park.THIS HAT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR SUNSCREEN. Yes, it is rated UPF 50+ (it came with a tag that said so), but UV rays can reflect off of surfaces and hit your face. It creates a bit of shade and helps you avoid direct sun. It's not too big or too small; it creates just the right amount of shade.The tag states it is 75% paper and 25% polyester. I compared it to other brands of visor hats in stores and I think this is well worth paying a few dollars extra for. It is a pliable material that holds its shape. Other, cheaper hats seemed floppier and less nice looking.This hat looks pretty good; I don't feel embarrassed to wear it, anyway. From the front, it looks more like a hat, but from the back and sides it has more of a visor look to it. Honestly, if you want to look cute, you might want to buy a full hat. But because this is packable, I still think it's a great investment. The velcro strap lets you wear it as tightly as you want it, for any sized head.

Awesome sun protection for travel
I really love this hat. I bought it in anticipation of a trip to Europe during the hot summer months and it did exactly what I needed it to do: protect my face and eyes from the hot sun. I love that this hat rolls up and stores easily in a small pocket of my luggage when not in use. It fits perfectly, though depending on your hairstyle can sometimes be difficult to get the velcro pieces to connect just right. Others have mentioned that the elastic loop used to store the rolled up hat can get in the way of the velcro and this is accurate: it could be a bit annoying at times. Having said that, it was a minor inconvenience and nothing that really affected me. I would definitely recommend it!

Cute & packable
I love that I have a sunhat that I can easily roll up and put in my purse! I never know what to do with my hats when I go inside. It's high quality, well made, and as described.I would love if they also sold a version with a larger brim or which had better coverage for the back of my neck.

Looks just like the picture
Have used this hat for more than a year and it still looks new and has held its shape. It is so convenient to be able to roll it up when not in use and takes up less space in my bag. I have gotten it wet on a few occasions and it dries out nicely without losing its shape.My head runs small so the fit is a little loose but not so much that I can’t wear it. The Velcro strap is adjustable for those with a larger head.

Best hat ever
I love this hat! You can't tell to look at me, but through experimenting with different hats, I've learned that I have a big head - "one size fits all" hats are too tight on me, smush down my hair, and leave an ugly red impression line across my forehead when I take them off. The best thing about this hat is that it is truly adjustable. There is velcro in the back to adjust it to literally any size.I was looking for a wide-brimmed sun hat for everyday use that was also feminine and pretty - I did not want one of those Australian Outback, Crocodile Dundee type hats. And nothing too sporty either. This hat fits the bill in every way.I also love that it rolls up and I can stick it in my bag after the sun goes down, or for packing to go on vacation.And it's nice that the brim does not flop down in front of your eyes. It holds its shape and stays where it should. I've had big floppy hats in the past (those cute J.Lo -type ones) where this was an issue.I wish there was a chin strap for windy days, but it's not a big deal. I might try sewing one in.I guess the only downside is that your scalp is not protected from the sun in this hat. But I don't mind because it's worth it to me to have a truly adjustable, pretty, wide-brimmed sunhat. One can always dab some sunscreen along the part in one's hair, or maybe wear a headscarf under the hat if you'll be in the sun for a while. But for everyday use this isn't a big concern.Highly recommend!

Quality hat but color description not what I expected
I was not expecting this hat to have any color. But it’s definitely multi color. The pictures didn’t show a close up of the weave coloration. I will be returning for a different color.

Provides Good Sun Protection
I bought this hat because I needed more sun protection on my face and my ears. Normally I wear a ball cap to play golf in and wasn't getting good coverage, especially now that the tops of my ears are not tucked under the ball cap due to wearing a mask. I was concerned about being able to swing and whether this hat would be a distraction to my concentration. I also worried that it would rub the back of my neck or not stay on. I am happy to say, this hat is perfect. The velcro makes it easy to loosen or tighten as needed. It does not fly off during my swing and it is not a visual distraction during the swing. The tops of my ears are covered and the sides of my face and my nose are shaded. The width of the brim is perfect. I love this hat - not only for golf - but for everyday sun protection!

〰 Practical 〰 Stylish 〰 A Must for Summer 〰
The media could not be loaded. I bought this braided visor to protect my face from the sun when I play outside with my toddler. The visor, when folded, is very compact and it stays secured with an elastic band. To wear it, you just need to remove the elastic, unroll the hat and adjust the velcro for your desired fit. It is widely adjustable for small heads or big heads with a velcro band that is hidden at the back. The brim is sturdy, yet flexible. Because of nylon wiring on the inside, it is very durable and it manages to keep its shape even after it has been rolled and stored for a while. Of course, if it gets dirty, machine washing is NOT recommended. You just need to spot clean the area with a damp cloth and let it air dry.It easily fits in my purse, in my car door compartment or even in my car's glove box. It is practical, comfortable to wear, and it is the perfect solution for me since I often wear my hair in a top knot or a high ponytail. And because it is a visor, I don't end up with dreaded flat ''hat hair''. Combined with sunscreen, it adds a great protection for my face. It is noteworthy to mention though, that the brim of this hat might not be large enough to protect the entire neck area. Because of the design, the back of the hat doesn't protect as much as the front does, so sunscreen should still be applied on the entire neck area to prevent any sun damage. Great purchase. Would 💯 recommend.If my review was helpful let me know by clicking on the ''Helpful'' button :) 👍🏻

San Diego sun visor
I wear these hats in the garden in the summer. They are great as my head doesn’t get too hot.

Buying my second one
I absolutely love this hat. I have bought similar hats from both Solbari and BedHead and the minute a gust of wind comes they are both useless. This hat handles the strong coastal Australian breezes. Buying my second one in case I lose my first as I walk everywhere. Had my first for about 6 months of everyday wear and still going strong - very happy customer : )
