I was a bit unsure so I waited until it went on sale but it arrived today and I’m already in love. I live in Lubbock Texas where the wind never stops and we have no shade. This hat is still on and is providing great shade while outside watching my kids play.

I was super excited to get this hat for sun protection on runs. Unfortunately the hat is useless for sun protection because if there is the slightest breeze the sides flip up leaving my face exposed. Also the hat just looks frumpy.

Light enough to pack for vacation and throw in your bag for the day. Big enough to block the rays while doing yard work, reading poolside, watching kids at the beach. Sturdy enough to wear hiking and on other adventures. Might need another in a tamer color!

love this! great sun protection, it's obnoxiously big but easy to pack down for travel. lightweight, cute. love the cords to hold on in wind. will be wearing this all summer

I wear this hat basically every weekend to protect my face and provide some shade at the zoo, watching kids soccer games, hiking, etc. It fits great and because of the shapeable brim looks better than a floppy booney hat (IMO). It also travels well so I just keep folded up in my backpack so I have it if I need it

I got this hat in the reddish color with the navy underside and am hoping that Oiselle will make more colors with a dark underside. (A white/light colored brim on a sun hat doesn't make any sense... It's a great way to reflect more light onto your face. Maybe okay, and sometimes even desirable in Seattle, but not where I live where the sun is intense and I want maximum protection.) It's really light weight and pretty breathable for a nylon item, and the brim is the perfect width for full face coverage without sacrificing too much visibility. It doesn't have a lot of structure due to the thin fabric, and I was skeptical about it holding up in wind, but so far the brim hasn't budged in 15-20 mph wind. Time will tell if it flips up with bigger gusts but I'm very happy with it so far. It is a little on the big side for me (though I like that as it helps with ventilation), and I have a medium sized head, so if you have a small head you'd be swimming in it unless you have really thick hair. Oh, and the bird print on the underside makes me happy every time I look up. 🙂 I wouldn't change anything about this hat and would definitely buy more colors in the future.

I absolutely love this hat!! It is so light and provides great coverage/protection from the sun yet very stylish!! Chin strap is definitely a bonus for a breezy day on a hike! I highly recommend!!

I got this because as a short haired girl, I am always wearing hats to cover up bad hair and protect my scalp and face. I love the ability to shape the brim (dare I wear it cowboy hat style today?) and the option to remove the cord is great. The blue with the dove under the brim is super pretty too. This hat is awesome as is but a few tweaks would make it perfection. First would be a lighter color option for the crazy hot, sunny days. The inverse of the blue hat (with the birds on the outside or under the brim) would be amazing. Second is it being machine washable.
