Dorfman PacificDHC Outdoor Men’s 1 Piece Big Brim Boonie Hat with Nylon Chin Cord

This hat, made in Srilanka, NOT China, is well made and does a good job of keeping the sun off one's head/face/neck while gardening, mowing the grass, or drinking a beer (You can't mow all the time now, can you?). You are able to adjust the brim to make your own statement; I choose to turn my side and front brims at 90-degree angles so I can dream I'm Crocodile Dundee. . . or my Uncle Mort. It is not "The goofy-looking" hat I had expected. The adjustable head size makes it a comfortable fit, and the chin draw string saves you from long, embarassing hat chases, particularly if you live in the Western Willamette Valley of Oregon where the southwest wind has it's way every evening. I have washed it, and it retains it's shape and color well. I like this hat.

This is the 3rd Dorfman hat I have purchased for my family. We all love them as our most functional, comfortable, cool, tough hats that we own. At the beach, in the ocean, sitting at or in the the pool, going hiking, and doing yard work is all better because of this hat. It provides excellent sun protection without getting your head too hot. I like to soak mine in ice water and then wring it out a bit before I head out to work in the garden during the summer. After years of use, the hats barely even look used. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about these hats. We all absolutely love ours. I posted a pic of mine after around 4 years of use.

This is my 2nd hat of this type. I was specifically looking to purchase a second hat in the exact same style as my first hat, where the brim is widest in the front and the back. It is my favorite hat of all time; I love it because it does an excellent job of protecting my face from the sun, it's very durable, washes easily, and maintains its shape. I purchased my 1st one at a kiosk at the mall, which is no longer there. I regret not buying a second one when it was available because now I can't find it anywhere. This hat is very similar: same great fabric and durability, except the brim length is equal all around the hat. It's not exactly what I wanted, but it's a close second, especially since my 1st choice is nowhere to be found.

I bought this hat for a friend who had a severe facial accident and felt very self concious in public. The brim is wide and floppy enough so that she feels quite comfortable when she wears it. We are both impressed with the quality and texture of the material and the whole structure of the hat. This is now becoming her hat of choice when working in the yard and when fishing. I would love to get one for myself, but I'm not what you would call a hat person. Plainly speaking I just don't look good in any type of hat. If you like hats and find yourself in the market, this is a must try. It doesn't seem to get dirty, wrinkle or shrink. Awesome hat!

Played tennis with this style hat for years. Finally wore it out. Nice large brim that is pretty stiff for a soft fabric hat. Bought 2 so that I could be sure to enjoy the same protection for many more years.

I ordered fifty of these hats in light olive khaki as part of a company uniform. However, when they arrived, instead of being light olive, they were positively green. It would be helpful if the underside of the hat could be shown in the picture as well so that people can differentiate between what is classed as "light" olive and green! I would have sent them back but exports from my country back to the USA are quite the pain to deal with. On a positive note, our guys love the material they are made from. It is lightweight, durable and have been found to be able to handle a substantial amount of soaking without staying wet for too long. I would definitely order these again in a much lighter color.

The page for this product was confusing because it showed two different styles of hat: one with mesh side vents and the other solid. I ordered the solid hat which has a chin strap (a feature I wanted) even though a chin strap is not shown in the picture. There were some complaints that the hat was green. I ordered "Khaki" instead of "Light Olive Green" and received a Khaki hat. The large size fits my head (23 inches) perfectly. The brim is about 3 inches wide with dark green fabric underneath. I didn't see these features mentioned in the description of this hat.

I bought this hat to provide shade for my face during hikes. The hat met all of my expectations. It's lightweight, can be easily folded to fit into a small space within a suitcase or backpack, maintains its color, does not blow off during high winds, and does a remarkable job of shedding raindrops without getting soaked. The hat is also machine-washable.I do offer one caution. Do NOT dry this hat under medium or high heat, as the hat will shrink enough to become a bit too tight, assuming its fit was ideal before drying. I'm not taking off any stars from my rating, as I should have known better than to dry a nylon-based hat on any dry setting greater than low.

Wouldnt fit. One size does not fit most men.
