Sunday Afternoons Ultra Adventure Hat UPF 50+ Sun Hat

I absolutely love this hat. The design, materials, functionality, and comfort of the Ultra Adventure Hat are leagues ahead of anything I've owned or worn over the last 30 years (essentially since my bald head started wearing a lot of hats). Quick Take: - Comfort: Very lightweight and easy to wear for hours on end. - Wind Resistance: Rock solid in the wind; no flapping or lifting. - Temperature Control: Between the UPF 50+ material and mesh venting, my head stays cool. - Portability: Folds up very small; it will fit in my front jean pocket. - Design: The hybrid split-brim and neck cape is a game changer. - Rain: Surprisingly great performance in wet weather. Design and Materials ::: The hat features a combination of a split 3.25" wide brim on the front and a 6" neck cape at the back. At first, I thought this hybrid setup might feel awkward or look goofy, but I couldn't have been more wrong. The materials used are high quality, quick to dry, and offer superior sun protection (UPF 50+). I also appreciate the mesh elements that increase airflow and improve both active and passive cooling. The stitching is precise and robust, reinforced exactly where it needs to be. Performance Test: Wind and Rain ::: I tested this hat last weekend during a round of disc golf in 20mph steady winds with gusts much higher. It stayed securely on my head, but what was even more impressive was that the bill never fluttered or agitated in any way. It was rock solid. Additionally, it rained on and off for about an hour. It wasn't torrential or anything, but my head stayed dry, and thanks to the brim, I didn't have to wipe my glasses one time. Because it is so insanely lightweight, I wore it all day and several times just forgot it was there. Even the retention cord is comfortable snug against my chin. Aesthetics ::: I chose the Sand colorway and personally feel it is the perfect option. It is a slightly desaturated earth tone that goes with rust colors, forest greens, and dark ambers, but at the same time pairs well with blacks, grays, and neutrals. Overall ::: In conclusion, this hat is incredibly well-made and exceptionally designed with performance, functionality, and fashion in mind. It is an excellent value. I am most likely going to buy multiple versions to mix and match as well as to keep in various vehicles. Highly recommended.

Excellent hat. I am pleased to have found it recently. Being bald and active, I have found caps inadequate for coverage, particularly around the neck. This hat offers strong sun protection; it is light and breathable, keeping the head cool, and is easy to clean. I appreciate that it is foldable and simple to pack. The quality is impressive, maintaining protection without blowing away in the wind.

This hat is COMFORTABLE, LIGHTWEIGHT AND OFFERS A-LOT OF COVERAGE I own many hats and continually look for one that meets the needs I have for comfort, coverage, and ability to stay on my head in wind AND ATTRACTIVENESS. This hat checks all the boxes! I wore this hat today for 10 + hours. I could drive in the car without the annoying push back from the headrest. It gave me sun protection from the annoying sun at the side of the window. When I got out of the car to fill the tank and a huge wind gust blew it stayed securely on my head. There is an easy accessible clip on the back of hat that easily lets you adjust for higher wind and release so you can have comfort when not needed. I can walk for several hours wearing it and can hardly feel it on my head. Many other hats that offer these things look awful on my head . This hat looks great! I’m looking forward to using it as my primary boat hat this summer. Highly recommend

I love this hat so much, that I bought a second one just in case they change the style. I love that it is so light weight, packs easily in my bag, protects me from the sun, holds my sunglasses, and that I can wear it ALL day long in comfort. My problem with this second hat is that it was delivered with a major crease (unrecoverrable) in the brim. No fault in the manufacturing, but watch your packaging! The hat is made to fold in half, so ship it that way ... don't put it flat in an envelope and expect USPS to not jam it into a mailbox and bend it in the wrong place. I will keep the hat, but I am disappointed that it wasn't perfect when it arrived.

I am thrilled with this hat. It stays in place without cinching it down, and wearing it a tad loose keeps my head cooler. It provides excellent shade, and as I said, it's cool. At least "cool" temperature-wise. I'll still keep my cowboy hat for occasions when I want to look my best, but I'll always wear this one when it's more important to feel my best. Also, I love the way it folds flat and opens curved. It's a great and practical design. My only complaint is that when there's a breeze on my face, the tail flaps noisily behind me. If it bothers me, I might carry a binder clip to hang off the back when the wind is in my face.

I love this hat. It's not the most stylish hat out there, but it is quite possibly the best sun hat you'll find in virtually every other respect. (And really, it's not like it's bad looking. Just maybe not as stylish as some alternatives.) I have used this for hiking, paddle boarding, and doing yard work and it has performed very well each time. It's super light and breathable and my head stays cool the entire time. Truly, it's something you can put on and forget you're even wearing it. I never had to take it off to wipe sweat away or let heat out, or anything like that. And of course, it protects me from the sun. I'm partially bald, and the hair I do still have is cut short, so my scalp has very little sun protection of its own. I need a hat that blocks the harmful UV rays. This hat has a UPF 50+ rating, so it's up to the task. What's amazing is that even the mesh ventilation areas are UPF 50+ rated. This means I don't have to worry about the sun getting through and burning a mesh pattern on my head. And yet, it's still super breathable. Best of both worlds. Also, the chin strap is great for keeping the hat secure when it's windy. Very important when you're on the water or hiking up high on a bluff.

This is replacing all of my baseball caps that I use for walking and two wide brim hats I’ve used in the past. I absolutely love this it’s so lightweight and comfortable it’s adjustable for days when I wear my hair up I love that I can secure my sunglasses for when I’m walking through a shady trail. If you’ve been shopping for hats and are hesitant, because you can’t try it on look no further. This hat is the real deal for anybody who spends time outdoors.

I hiked the PCT with this hat. Ultralight and breathing material. Dries quickly. Flexible in the right spots. Protects well from a desert sun. Easy to clean with water.

Pas utilisé autan qu’espéré avec cet été pluvieux, mais très agréable à porter

The visors are actually very short, they don’t give enough shade to protect all the face. I don’t care about the UV filter because the protection is only for the forehead, not the cheeks, chin or mouth. Plus the item came folded in the wrong way and it has like a broken part in the visor. Not a good model if you are truly needing sun protection

This is the best hiking hat I’ve ever had. It’s so practical, offers full sun protection and doesn’t even look dorky! Great for backpacking as there is no back brim to get in the way of your pack. The fact that you can fold it up and pack it flat without ruining the structure of the hat is excellent too. I love this hat so much!!

Took this on a seven week trip to New Zealand and was very happy with it. It easily folds when not in use, the brim doesn't get distorted because it folds flat. The neck flap can be tucked up into the hat if not wanted. The neck cord was comfortable and held the hat firmly on my head in some very high winds on the coast. The brim appears to be waterproof and I actually wore this under my raincoat hood to keep the rain off my face a few times. Ventilated so not too hot in the sun. The hat easily rinses out in the sink if it gets grubby, and dries quickly and well. Recommended.

撥水があって涼しくきにいっていますが、風がある時前の部分がすぐ捲れ上がりいらつきます。そこを改良したいただければ嬉しいです。
