MISSION Cooling Bucket Hat - Unisex Wide-Brim Hat for Men & Women - Lightweight, Foldable & Durable - Cools Up to 2 Hours

I recently purchased a waterproof cooling bucket hat, and it has quickly become my go-to accessory for outdoor activities. This hat offers the perfect combination of comfort, functionality, and style, making it a must-have for anyone who enjoys spending time in the sun. First and foremost, the cooling feature is incredible. The hat is made from innovative, moisture-wicking fabric that helps keep my head cool and dry, even on the hottest days. It effectively wicks away sweat and provides a refreshing cooling sensation, making it ideal for hiking, gardening, or simply lounging by the pool. The waterproof feature is also a game-changer. The hat repels water and dries quickly, which is perfect for unexpected rain showers or when I'm near water. It keeps me protected and comfortable without weighing me down, thanks to its lightweight design. Comfort-wise, this hat excels. It has a soft, breathable lining that feels comfortable against my skin. The wide brim provides ample shade and UV protection for my face and neck, which is essential for preventing sunburn and staying safe under the sun. In terms of style, the hat is both practical and fashionable. It comes in a variety of colors and patterns to suit different preferences. I opted for a neutral color that goes well with any outfit, but there are bold options available for those who want to make a statement. The adjustable drawstring ensures a secure fit, even on windy days, and the hat is easy to pack and carry with me wherever I go. It's become an essential part of my outdoor gear, and I receive compliments on its style and functionality whenever I wear it. Overall, this waterproof cooling bucket hat has exceeded my expectations. It’s comfortable, functional, and stylish, providing excellent sun protection and cooling comfort. Whether you're hiking, fishing, or enjoying a day at the beach, I highly recommend this hat. Five stars!

I bought this hat for roughly $20 and at the same time purchased one of the other Mission brand baseball cap style cooling hats so I have been able to compare both of these hats. This bucket hat isn't huge, and for my big head it is a little on the tighter side but still perfectly comfortable for me. Could be an issue for some though I imagine most people will be fine as I know my head is bigger than average and the fit doesn't bother me. As to the cooling powers of the hat, I mostly use it on hot days when I am lounging in the pool to shade my face and keep me cool as I work on my tan. I dunk it in the water then slap it on my head. The only part of this hat that is going to cool you is the top and the inner rim that goes around your head. So for as much water as this hat soaks up, it really doesn't do much but run off and provide shade like any other hat. It stays cool for what seems a short amount of time but it does help. If you are on the go, I would keep a spray bottle handy so you can keep misting the top and inside every hour or so and get a lot more mileage out of it. Overall, it is a good hat but I feel the ball cap style hat is better for day to day. That one soaks up your sweat better than this one and if you do start to overheat with it on, take it off and it'll cool you down again once you put it back on after a few minutes thanks to the sweat retention. Both benefit from keeping a spray bottle nearby, and I do consider that a must have if you are trying to get these things to cool you down, but if I could pick only one I would go with the cap but luckily the world doesn't work that way so I can use the cap at work and then this bucket hat around the house and pool. This cap is definitely a bigger help in rain as well thanks to the wider brim. While it isn't perfect it is still worth buying just remember to have realistic expectations. An hour of good cooling effect after a good soaking and maybe you can get two hours in shade under ideal conditions. Every person is different too, so that is just my experience. Regardless, it is a worthwhile purchase and I am happy with my Mission hats.

I just got this hat and have taken it out a couple of times so far, temps in the high 80's, humidity around 50%, and very sunny. Wetting it down seems like a waste of time. It was completely dry in under an hour and left little ability for the hat to wick sweat off your brow. This feature might work better in a more arid climate but be prepared to wet it down frequently. Also, the brim is very floppy and heavy after wetting it down. Snapping the sides up in a cowboy hat style gives the brim more rigidity but reduces the sun-protection a wide brim hat offers. I have a pretty good sized melon and it fit me well without being too tight. I wouldn't recommend for smaller sized heads and definitely not for children. I preferred to wear it dry, where the hat could absorb sweat and the brim wasn't so heavy and floppy. It's thinner material than most baseball hats and does a good job of reflecting sunlight and keeping you cool. You can also fold or ball this thing up and stick it in a pocket or pack and it'll snap back into shape when you need it. At about $20, it's a solid, versatile, summer hat that'll keep the sun off.

I really like this hat. You can where it two ways! Lightweight and comfortable. Perfect for blocking the sun!

I absolutely love this hat. Easily in my top 10 buys this year. Does exactly what it says it does. Run it thru cold water, ring it out just a little bit and keep cool. Where has this been all my life?

Good quality, but way too big for a "One size fits all". I can't even wear it, because its so big. I just plan on giving it to a friend.

This is my first Mission hat. I really like the material and being able to wet it. It has a chin drawstring that can be tucked up on top of head inside hat. The elastic band helps sweat from running down into your eyes. It has two side snaps to snap up the sides. Has a fashion cool look. I wear about 7 3/4 hat and this fits me just snug. Not too tight. I recommend this hat.

Best hat for outdoor work light weight very comfortable

Hat mich nicht überzeugt.

Hubs is loving this hat - his hair is nearly shaved so this has been awesome to keep the sun off while staying cool. He wants a second one for when he bbq’d so he doesn’t get the one he wears regularly all smokey. Cooling works great - even in the night heat we get in ON, he says it cools well even in the 30+degC heat

涼しい

Works great, but don’t like elastic chin strap

サイズが大きめで良かった。 軽量で使いやすいが冷感は感じられませんでした。
