Great sun hat
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- L/XL
Great sun hat - lightweight, not hot, packs easily and still looks good after being smashed in your luggage, good sun/shade coverage, looks good, good color choices. Only thing I'd mention is it runs a little small - my head measures right about 22.75" and I bought this in L/XL and if my head was any bigger this would be too tight, whereas the size chart says L/XL fits 22.75-24.0". A little surprising given there's a way to tighten it so if anything it should fit the high end of that range and give the ability to cinch down to the lower end. I bought my 7 y/o this hat in S/M and he likes it as well. The S/M is a good fit for child.

I bought this for a backpacking trip with a lot of sun exposure. This hat covered me, fit my head very well even during high winds, and was not too hot. Worth the buy for sure!

Hubs love it!

- M/L
Hubs loves it! He likes that it has a large enough bill/rim to cover his ears and neck. It is also not so large that he is in another zip code than his hat. Good quality. Love the colour choices. Easy to wash. Shipping was fast. I signed up for emails and received a small discount that basically covered taxes.

Good looking, nice quality hat that fits very well. Sounds like a description of everything that Patagonia makes! The hat is generously sized but then can be cinched tighter using the rear cord. My hat size is 7 5/8, but I still ended up tightening it slightly. The brim is firm not floppy, and the crown is soft, so it collapses perfectly flat for packing. However, you will need at least a 14” wide suitcase IF you want to keep it flat so as not to crease the brim, which means an overhead and not an under seat carry-on. Patagonia calls this hat ‘Quandary’ and not ‘Baggies’, because that was the name on the bag label, but I believe it is one and the same hat.
