Lanzom Summer Beach Sun Hats for Men Women Foldable Floppy Travel Packable Staw Hat, Wide Brim Hat

Bought beige straw hat w/leather band. Arrived on-time, well packaged in box, - no crush factor. Sides of brim slightly turned up, but fixed in a jiffy by laying flat and pressed down with a med-hot iron over a damp facecloth. Adjusted front brim down just slightly by clipping a large binder clip with a small fishing weight. Left clip/weight on front brim hanging overnight over the edge of the ironing board. Final hat shape looks as good or better than the Amazon Ad picture. Hat material first rate. Nice feel (not plasticky) and not floppy either. Pleasantly surprised that hat came with adjustable chin strap that clips to inside of hat. (Nice). Also, really liked the ability to adjust the inside hat circumference using the pull ribbon/velcro for perfect fit to my Medium-Large head. Hat is both stylish and functional. Stylish that you can wear anywhere and look distinctive; functional and light enough for wearing on long hikes on blistering days. Hat dimensions are good. And sizing about right. Brim is wide (2.75 inches, I think), but not too wide that it blocks your view forward or looks like you are wearing a flying saucer. Crown is well shaped; albeit the top of my head slightly hits the crown top. My wife attributes that to my pointy head (ouch). Seems to be a great product for the price and understated style and utility it brings!

I bought this hat a year ago and it was getting kind of dirty so I bought a new hat without paying attention to which hat I bought. I wasted my money. I went back through my orders, bought another one of these, and tossed the other hat.

> UPDATE: I've now worn the hat on 5 cruises, and 2 other trips (requiring the hat to be packed 14 times in a suitcase), and it has survived quite well. Just fold the brim down and then flatten the crown sideways. I also use it outdoors when I'm not traveling. I've worn the hat for about 100 days, total, and it still looks good. Cool even on hot days. Survived several rain showers. > Looks great. Surprisingly great -- better than a hat I returned to Amzn which cost twice as much. I've actually been complimented by other travelers who liked the hat. I admit though, that I've seen a few handsomer (much more expensive) straw hats --- but you have to buy those in hat stores and actually try them on. > Just a bit shiny and plastic looking --- but not objectionable (actual straw hats are often shinier when new). The material is nominally plasticized paper, but you'd never know, and it is durable and reasonably waterproof. > Light weight. > Moderately tight (or moderately loose -- depending on your perspective) weave. Air permeable --- reasonably cool even in 95 degrees in Italy in August. This is a summer hat, it won't hold much warmth in cooler weather. Obviously, water permeable too, so not a rain hat. BONUS !!! -- includes removable, adjustable, neck strap. I agonized between this and another similar hat which came with neckstrap --- because I knew that I'll need a neckstrap for walking around the deck on a cruise ship. I had planned to add a home-made neckstrap to this hat. BUT I DIDN'T NEED TO !! -- it came with an adjustable, removable neck strap. Unfortunately, in actual use, the neckstrap does not stay attached, and is difficult to reattach---because the fasteners are plastic open double-hooks. On a cruise, ultimately I had to cover the fasteners with a 1 1/4" length of 1" wide surgical tape--which worked well. Back home, I replaced the fasteners with half-inch diameter split rings --- which work very well, although detaching the neckstrap would be time consuming. If I don't want the neckstrap showing, I just place the neckstrap in the crown of the hat before putting it on. Snap hooks would work too, and would be easily dettacheable/reattacheable. > UPDATE: It looks like they have replaced the model I purchased with a version w/o a neckstrap --- at least according to the photos --- but you might be pleasantly surprised.

I wear a 7-3/8 hat size and this was just a little large, but easily adjusted with the draw string within the inner band. This is a very nicely built straw hat that rides nicely on the head and breathes to keep said noggin cool. The day following its arrival was 102 degrees and I sat out in the sun at my grandsons birthday swim party. In the past I would have worn a baseball cap to shade the eyes, but with that hat I would sweat and the hat band would get wet as well as the hat bill. Not so now. It shades the eyes, nose and ears. Looks nice. No sweaty head band. Only downside is that it’s a little asymmetrical, one brim curls slightly differently than the other side. But as I said in the headline, this is not a $100 hat, perhaps steaming it and working the brim my resolve this, but it’s no so bad that it bothers me. I haven’t folded it down to pack it in a bag yet, but I plan to do this next month on a trip to Costa Rica and Jamaica. Seems like it should do well.

Great quality and perfect fit!

I purchased four hats to compare because I could not decide – Lanzom Wide Brim Straw, Pineapple&Star Sun Straw Fedora, Catrin Faldon Palm Straw Panama, and Meximart Mexican Palm Leaf Straw Indiana. The Lanzom and P&S are both soft paper panama hats. The Catrin and Meximart are rigid palm leaf hats. The Lanzom was the “floppiest” of them all. The brim was not rigid enough for me and had “waves” in it. It also sat very high on the head due to a deep crown. I didn’t care for the way it felt; like it was too small even though it wasn’t. It was the least formal-looking of all the hats because of the lack of form to it. The plus is that this is the only one that might survive in a suitcase. There have been reviews about it being crushed on arrival. Mine was not. It was packed in a box and arrived in good shape. It could’ve been that I ordered other items, so it was packed in a box instead of an envelope. That may be the key to ensuring that the hat comes unsquashed. The Pineapple&Star was the best packaged of all the hats with a cardboard frame for the brim. It looks more formal than the Lanzom because the brim is sturdier and flat without any waves. It’s not floppy at all. It also has a deep crown so it sits high on the head like the Lanzom. Other than that, the only problem with the P&S is that it’s very round. It did not fit well, with big gaps on each side of my oval head. It did come with foam spacers, but all the other hats fit much better without any modifications. The Catrin fit very well and is a very nice hat. The only issue I had with it is a personal preference. I did not like the brim turned up in the back. If you like that, this would be a good choice. It’s heavier and much more rigid than the two paper straw hats, but it’s not uncomfortable. The upside is that it won’t have any problems in heavy rain. My personal favorite was the Meximart. It’s comfortable, fits very well, and has a wider brim than the others. That’s also the downside, however, if you’re looking for a more formal appearance. The brim is much wider than the others and will keep the sun off better than the others, but it looks more like a beach or yard hat, not formal enough for what I was looking for. I liked the style of it better than the others, though. This would be my choice for a sun hat in more casual situations.

Happy with fit, quality and bright white color.

I really like the hat. The hat runs big. I purchased a large and it is too big. No issues though as I was able to make an adjustment on the inside band which made it fir perfect. If I had to re order I would have purchased a Med. I do recommend this hat. Mine came in a box and the hat inside the box was in a protective plastic bag. And on the inside of the hat was a protective plastic mold of the hat to help the hat keep its shape while in transit.

The hat came in a totally FLAT plastic bag where it was stuck for over a month. It was completely deformed when I opened it - with permanent creases. Misshapen and gnarled. Terribly unacceptable and will have to be returned.

El diseño y los materiales son perfectos, ligero para transportar y cubre perfectamente de los rayos solares, llego antes de la fecha estimada ampliamente recomendado
