Sunday Afternoons Sport Hat
UPF 50+ Sun Protection
It's hard to beat the enjoyment of a day in the sun, unless it's a day spent in the shady pleasantness of a UPF 50+ hat.
A rating of UPF 50+ is the highest sun protective rating achievable and means only 1/50th or less of UV rays are able to pass through, allowing you to diminish the sun, not the fun!

My family has six of these, in various sizes and colors. Perfect for any outdoor activity, including water play. Great coverage for redheads!

This is my second Sunday Afternoons Sport hat. I have worn out my first one after more than seventeen years!! It is great at keeping the sun out of my eyes and off of the back of neck. The first one I had was made in the USA. This one is made off-shore. It is a little bit larger overall than my original one and I would like it more if it was just a smidge smaller. I ordered the small/medium and have cinched the adjustable band to fit my medium-sized head but that leaves a little pucker in the crown of the hat. That said; I do get a lot of compliments on this hat. This hat will likely be too large for anyone who has a small-sized head.

Bought one after seeing my friend wear one in Tunisia. Love the color, neck drawstring to keep it on when windy, neck protection, lightweight packability, and ability to make it smaller or bigger with the clip in back. Perfect travel hat.

I have a big melon and the large is big enough with room to spare. This hat packs very easily, it's super comfortable, light weight, easy to adjust quickly, has great ventilation, is built well, and gives plenty of protection. You'll look like a bit of a dork, but at least you'll have nicer skin. My first hat ripped in a wind storm after five years of use, the second hat became too stained for public use, and I just now got my third. Very pleased.

I just love this hat. So light weight and best fitting hat I’ve ever owned. Doesn’t flip up in the wind. Very breathable. Highly recommend!

I had this hat, in my cart, for quite a while. Then I took another look, and decided to buy it. I purchased it in a size medium. Hat is unisex. All I can say is, why did I wait so long, and waste my time, when I could have been wearing it. It is by far, the most comfortable hat I own, and I have quite a lot, of sun hats. This one is so light, and has UPF 50+ sun protection. The highest you can get, in a hat. I live in AZ, when even in the early morning, it's hot and sunny. This hat is perfect for my walks. The length of the brim is just right, 4". Shades the sun, without restricting my sight. I also love the neck cape, which is 5". This way my neck, and most of my hair, are not exposed. It also has a ponytail hole, if you choose to wear your hair that way, and a wicking sweatband, under the brim. It has adjustable sizing, in the back of the hat too. I was able to adjust it, to the way I liked. It has a chin strap, and that can be adjusted too, so the hat will not fly off your head, in high winds. It is very well made, and this manufacturer guarantees the material, and workmanship for life.

I never write reviews but this hat is absolutely amazing! I hate being in the sun I am extremely particular about the sun since my skin is sensitive and I am all about anti-aging however I have two young girls...therefore I wanted to start going outside more with them. This hat is a game changer! I feel like I have so much sun protection! I got my toddler the kids version and she loves hers! We wear it together! My youngest is 6 months and I plan on buying her one as well. It’s lightweight, comfortable and love how it adjusts. I went with the large because I don’t like a right fit. I also love how it’s actually cute! The white color is nice! I’m in my 30’s and it may not be stylish for most but out of all the UPF wide brim great sun protection hats out there it is by far the cutest and best! I highly recommend and recommend you get the kids version too!

Looks cute on a woman. This hat is surprisingly not hot. I was initially concerned because one reviewer says it's hot. To my surprise it's quite breathable. It doesn't actively cool your head, but it keeps you feeling much cooler when you are under the sun than without any hat. I think the white fabric helps reflect a lot of the sun's direct heat. The flap has 2 layers - the inside layer is darker, same as the underside of the brim. I thought the flap may trap heat, but it actually keeps your neck cool because the stiffer double-layered fabric doesn't drape directly on your neck, thus leaving some space between your neck and the flap to allow plenty of air circulation. I have a pony tail and the flap keeps it away from sticking to my neck. Definitely cooler than without the flap. The flap isn't long so make sure you wear a top w/ high enough neck line. My head and neck sweat a ton so it's impossible to keep sunscreens on. With this hat I can skip wearing sunscreens on the back of my neck and ears.In the front forehead area that's a thick strip of fabric that's designed to wick sweat. I normally don't like sweat bands because they tend to trap heat and make me hot, but this hat's partial sweat band doesn't seem to contribute to overheating. On really hot days (over 90 F) I simply spray cool water on the sweat band so the wet strip will actively cool my forehead and keep me feel more comfortable when working out in the hot sun. The crown fabric is a bit stiff due to water repellent coating but it's not overly hot and it can double as a rain hat when the rain isn't heavy. The mesh sides provide plenty of ventilation so it's quite comfortable as long as there's some kind of breeze or if you are on the move.I bought the medium size and it's plenty big for me. The back adjustment as well as the neck cord keep the hat on me even in the wind. there's no velcro to mess up with your hair, and the pony tail hole is rare for hat of this style. I have long hair so I thread my hair into the hole as a loose pony tail. It keeps my neck cool. the brim is wide enough in the front but won't block my view. The problem I have with most sun hats are (1) too big; (2) too deep in the crown area or brim too low that they will block my vision; and (3) too hot because I am a big head-sweater. This hat doesn't have any of these problems. It's a great design with lots of attention to details that make it super practical and still decent looking.Note that this is a sport hat and not a high fashion statement. I wear it for hiking/running or doing outdoor sports when I need to keep my head cool and vision clear. It goes well with my athletic clothing. More over I can keep it on while driving because there's no back brim to hit my car's headrest, and it's also compatible with high back pack. I bought another SA hat (The Lotus hat) for non-sporty casual occasions as it goes better with my casual dresses. SA makes great sun hats for different occasions.

I have an Adventure hat and Sport hat. Both are good from the shade perspective, and do keep the sun off my face so I'll keep them. However, the hat itself is too big for an average female head. It's too poofy and unattractive and you can't adjust that. If you care more about protection than looks, get the hat. One other thing I don't like is that the wicking headband inside is not removable - if you get makeup on it like I do, you have to wash the whole hat. They should really make is so that you can Velcro it in and out to allow for cleaning just that part.
