Henschel Men's Aussie Crushable Hat

The quality of the hat was not in question. Very well made and looked great. The hat fit snug. Normally wear a 7 3/8 and based on chart size and similar product fit at Academy I ordered the L. The large came with an insert to go in the hat band to "adjust the size" to fit but based on the price I did not want to utilize that. The medium fit well.One laughable comment: the large size came in a large hat box. It was wrapped in plastic and well "guarded" in the box to prevent damage and was left at my door. The medium came in a plastic bag that was shoved in the mailbox. I know this is marketed as a "crushable" hat but thought the packing difference was humorous.

I've tried many sun hats, and this is my favorite. It looks good enough, is very durable, packable, can get wet, and retains is shape/look. This is my second of these hats. The only negative thing I have to say is that my first one didn't float... (lost it off the boat). I had my first had for several years and used it as a work hat, did not treat it lightly. It was not carefully packed into bags many times. Other than a few stains it wore very well.

I have had a succession of hats for tennis and walking the dog. I bought this one (Henschel Aussie Solarweave) because we were going to be spending whole days outdoors in Greece and Italy and I sunburn easily.Once in Europe, I slathered sunscreen on, slapped this hat on my head and headed outdoors. The weather turned out to be unseasonably mild, so my fears of sunstroke were allayed. But the hat performed fantastically.In the sun, it provides enough shade from glare that sunglasses become optional. In the rain, it keeps my eyeglasses and shoulders dry. Best thing: I can keep it on indoors, say on the metro or in a museum, with perfect comfort. My wife was constantly removing her straw hat because it was too warm. Meanwhile, because of the airflow through the wide weave in the sides of the crown, I was as cool with the hat on as I was with it off. The hat is so light that it is less obtrusive than my glasses.The cord tie is essential to keep the hat on in the wind. It is also long enough to enable you to let the hat hang down your back when you don't want it on but you want your hands free (say on a cathedral visit).I crushed it fairly frequently during travel. It recovers with only hints of creases. The shape stays solid, but it gives it a less-than-new look, probably a good thing for such an outdoorsy piece of clothing.I won't be playing tennis in it because the brim is too wide for a tennis serve, but otherwise I expect to wear it a lot and then replace it with the same model if it's still available.

I purchased this hat for a trip to Kenya and Tanzania. It was a great! It kept the sun off my head and shoulders, it kept my head cool and it packed well for the trip and kept its shape. (In packing for the journey to and from Africa, in spite of the statement that it would not crush, I packed socks in the crown of the hat, which ensured it did not. So now, with the hat still in perfect condition I walk my dog every evening wearing this marvelous hat. If I wasn't so old (88), people would think Harrison Ford was walking the dog - well not really - I'm too short, too slow and, unlike Ford, as handsome as a garage door.

This is much better made and higher quality than American Hat Makers' Traveller, and much better priced. However it would look better with a lower crown and slightly smaller brim (or perhaps it's the Aussie look ?). Love the two-tone color. Haven't tried crushing it to see if it would retain shape.

I was on the fence with the size measuring my head at about 22.5 inches but the large, which says 23”, fit perfectly without any adjustment.Good packaging and color representation with the green.

My first hat I didn't buy through Amazon and I love it. The second I bought on line but the creases etc. just didn't add the look I had from the brown hat I got. Hence, I'm not pleased with the look this one gave and won't buy another.

This is the perfect hiking hat. Wide brim to keep the sun off my face. Crushable so it will pack nicely in luggage. I love the mesh sides to let the breeze in and the solid top so my scalp doesn’t get sunburnt. String tie makes me stop Worrying about the wind. I won’t hike without it!

Es de uso flexible.

Etwas zu schwer

Love the shape. Fits really good and very light on my head. Wore it outside in the sun and feels ventilated and protected at the same time. Just hope it lasts.

Love it..Really nice and soft and a perfect fit. Looks the business and for the price paid (10.81) is was a no brainer.Dont normally wear hats but really like this and its so comfy on and looks really nice with good quality materials and well made.Only received today but have already ordered another one in different color.

Très content d'avoir trouvé sur Amazon le frère jumeau d'un chapeau que j'avais acheté précédemment aux USA !Il est pratique, protège bien du soleil, léger à porter et cela donne un petit look d'Indiana Jones pendant les randonnées.Je mets seulement 4 étoiles, car l'emballage est moyen et le paquet arrive un peu écrasé.
