## Description

Designed to keep you cool and shaded from powerful UV rays, the expansive brim of the Transit Sun Hat™ keep the sun off your grill, while the venting mesh panels let the breeze cool your dome.

Review: Nice hat...fits my head just right - Just what I was looking for! It's light-weight, but still feels well-made. The vents on the sides are nice and do seem to help to cool my head, but don't expect miracles--it is a hat after all... I have a 23" head and the large fits just right. If it shrinks much at all I'll be in trouble, but for now, I never feel like it's too tight. The bucket part of the hat is a good size too--not too big, not too small. If anything, I'd say the bucket part is a little bigger than it needs to be, but not awkwardly so. The brim has a great shape and shades my eyes, ears and neck effectively. I wasn't a fan of the strap/string that hangs down so I removed it, however, there are still 2 little loops (where the strap attached) right next to my ears. I notice them, but they don't bother me. In fact, on the plus side, they help me know that I have the hat on straight!
Review: Satisfied customer - I purchased this hat to gain more protection from the sun at my kid's swim meets and while boating and I have not been disappointed. Fit: I have a very large head and have difficulty finding hats that fit me. Even X-Large is typically too small for my head. I purchased this hat in the X-Large size and it fits just right. Not too tight but not so loose that it will fly off. I wear it on my boat and have not had and problem with it staying on while at cruising speed without using the strap. The hat has a drawstring at the back to tighten the fit if it is too loose but I have not had to use that feature. Construction: The hat seems very well made. Good workmanship. The brim is well shaped and stiff enough that it has not gotten floppy or droopy. It is wide enough to provide the sun protection desired. The hat does float as advertised. Comfort: The venting at the sides of the hat keep it cool that I have not noticed any discomfort even when standing in direct sun for many minutes even with the darker color. It is not a heavy hat and I forget it is on my head which is an indication of the comfort. Style: It is a casual, fedora-like style hat so it may not be for everyone. It is a look you don't see very often where I live. I have not received any compliments when wearing it but nor have I received any negative comments. Overall I am VERY pleased with this purchase and am confident recommending it to others. It does exactly what I need it to do. Product update (2016): After several years of use this hat is still going strong. While it has faded a bit, it is still holding together well with no stitching failure, stretching or fraying. It still floats and stays on my head in the strongest of wind.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does The Job
*by A***A on May 27, 2014*

I hesitated to spend the extra bucks to get this hat. I figured I would just get some cheapo thing at first. But why spend half the price on something that will be crap when you can spend a little more and get a nice product. Yeah, this hat was above my meager budget, but I don't regret buying it. Pros: Very light. The vents keep your head a little cooler than most hats (the reason I usually hate hats). The size was just right and the pull spring on the back of the hat really helps adjust it perfectly. I tuck the chin strap up in to the hat and it doesn't seem to bother me up there. The thing seems really well-made. I saw no flaws in the material or stitching. Cons: Can't really think of any to be honest. I can't speak to the durability as I've only been using it a short while. In the unbearable heat of the Indiana sun, it keeps my next from bursting into flames. You buy a hat to do one job and this one does it as well as could be expected. I knocked off one star purely for the price. At this price point, I would expect something made in the USA, not China. EDIT: Just got back from a month-long archaeology expedition in the blazing sun. This hat probably saved my nose and ears, which are always the first things to burn. It held up to field work in the sun, mud work coring lakes, torrential rain, etc. Found no real flaws or weaknesses. The vents make it slightly more breathable than something like a felt hat, which helped out. Plus, I could soak it in water and put it back on for a little relief from the heat. I still recommend this hat very highly.
