Currently in Mali and the sun is intense to say the least. The Sun Bucket hat has been nothing but awesome. I've been looking for the perfect hat and now I've found it. I will never leave home without it!

I normally dislike wearing hats on my head but sometimes I dislike the sun cookin' my noggin more. Kayaking out of Channel Islands harbor on a warm sunny day is one of those times.

The chinstrap kept the ocean breeze from ejecting the hat from my head. The crown cinch-cord gave it a more custom fit while the pull portion on the cord (in the back) gave me somewhere to clip my fishing license to.
It's lightweight so it didnt bother me one bit. It also has amazing breathability. I was sure I'd have a steamed melon after paddling around so much. Not so! This also works great on your face for naps. It lives in my car for them lunchtime siestas.

This was a total score on SAC. If this thing somehow gets lost, I won't hesitate replacing it.

Good for being out in the sun. Comfortable, durable, and adjustable. Lifetime warranty. Worth the money.

This is the best sun hat ever. I wear it all the time. Lightweight material, doesn't get heavy when it gets wet. Unlike any other bucket hat I've found, it keeps its shape when you work up a sweat too. Terrific for tennis players !!!

great hat would highly recommend

A great hat for those who are engaged with a lot of sunshine and want to protect their head, ears, and high neck from brutal sun. The hat, in addition, is quite light as well as washable. For my needs it serves me quite well.

Very nice hat. Nice lightweight material and very comfortable. However, sizing seems a bit on the small side. I ordered a medium, but it was too tight. Sent it back and got a large and it fits well.

Wore hat during recent trip to Belize. Great protection and did not overheat during 7 days in sun - bonefishing, kayaking, snorkel trips, etc. Hat stays fit in windy conditions. Highly recommend this hat. Great gear.

This hat is sweet for fly-fishing. Keeps the sun, heat, and elements out of your face. Way worth it.

I ordered two of these hats, one for myself and one for my husband. He works outside everyday and this is the best hat he has ever owned. The wind doesn't move the brim around and it does a great job of protecting from the sun. It fits true to size as well. I would definitely order this hat again and recommend it to anyone spending a lot of time outside. Another bonus, the chin strap comes on and off and the hat has a nice adjustable feature to keep it on even on windy days.

I wear this hat everyday at work outside and I just love it. I will be ordering another one.

This hat is outstanding. It adjusts to give you a great fit and covers all the little parts that usually burn. It gets hot here in central Texas, but my head stays fairly cool under the Sun Bucket. I went back to order another in the sand color but Backcountry was out of stock, a big disappointment. I very highly recommend this hat.

Bought a large, and it fits with lots of room. There is an adjustment to size it down, so buying larger is a good idea. The drawstring under the chin prevent blow away. Light on the head. Doesn't mat the hair. Most important - the hat looks good!

This hat is perfect. I have three OR hats now, and they are all exceptionally useful and effective.

Test driven in Egypt. Cool, comfy, floppy, and indeed perfect for desert sun!!!

This was just what I wanted -- a sun hat that won't cook my head. It's pretty water-resistant too -- kept my head dry while I was in the rain for a while, though I haven't tried it for a full day in the rain yet. The XL fits my big (well, for a female) noggin with room for my tailbone-length hair, if I feel like tucking it under it.
