Louise Awarded The Sunday Afternoon Sunset Hat 5/5
My first impression was the hat was very well made. I love that it has been design with comfort, style and protection in mind. It’s not always easy to find. I ordered a large size and it fits perfectly for me. Again this was another plus as I tend to find generic hats in high street stores to come up too small. I love a cowgirl style look but sometimes that doesn’t go so well with what you’re wearing, so having a flexible option instead of packing two is great. This last weekend the temperatures increased a fair bit so this was helpful as I had left my sunglasses in the car. I didn’t need to adjust the hatband as it fits me really well but the chinstrap was useful while running around after several children. This hat is ideal for festivals, days out, holiday etc and the chinstrap works so well. I took this camping with several children and it was helpful as it kept the hat in place and also I could hang it down my back when I didn’t need it. The UPF 50+ is a bonus as I have thin hair and struggle to keep my scalp from getting burnt. It’s not always easy to out sun cream on your head. I definitely didn’t burn and also didn’t get a headache. The sweatband was effective. It was a very hot day and I do need help as prone to sweat. I didn’t find airflow was better than my previous hat so less need to take off and fan myself. I wasn’t convinced this would work when I packed the hat, but even after folding in half to wedge it into my rucksack I was really surprised that it was easy to get the hats shape back and not spend long doing this too. Wore this hat most of the day over my whole weekend away. This was worn on a campsite and helped due to hot sunny days. This hat is a great addition to a summer holiday as it keeps the sun off your head and face without heating you up. It also protects you with UPF 50. The best bit in my opinion is the ability to pack the hat without the worry of losing its shape. I haven’t had the need to clean it so can’t answer this question. I’m very happy with the quality. My first impressions based on look and feel were that this hat was well made and after using it in a campsite I totally agree it is a good quality hat. Yes, this hat offers great value for money. The quality means it will last for years, and its packable design makes it perfect for travel. It also saves money on scalp sun cream thanks to the excellent sun protection it provides. I would buy this. I’ve always wanted a decent hat that travels well. I always find it a pain to carry on a hat I don’t need until I arrive somewhere. Being able to almost squish it into a rucksack folded and still be a hat at the other end was amazing. I would recommend this hat. A very well made quality feeling product that looks great and is very comfortable to wear. It comes in a variety of colours too. Brilliant hat, really comfortable, looks great and does exactly what it says. Worth every penny! Super comfy to wear. Love the style and it’s adaptable for different outfits. The wide brim helps keep the sun out of your face and it’s got proper sun protection. I was happy that for a change I had a hat that actually fit and didn’t just rest on top of my big head. One of the best bits is it’s packable. It feels like it will last me ages. And no more greasy hair from sun screen. Louise Lamb

I like the hat on first impression, the colour was attractive and it seemed good quality. I liked the fact the rim could be adjusted to suit, the leather strap and beads around the hat added a bit of texture which I liked. The fit was perfect, I ordered a size Medium. I really like the flexible rim, as it could be adjusted to suit where the sun was whilst outside. It was a clever design which really works. The chinstrap is good for more of a windy day or whilst out on the move. I agree this hat is very versatile and ideal for festivals, days out holidays. Also this hat looks stylish. I used it whilst outside in the sun and it kept my head from burning, so yes the UPF was effective. My forehead didn’t get too sweaty and the sweatband stopped the hat from rubbing. My head did get quite warm whilst wearing the hat. The hat folds up and it doesn’t affect the shape when wearing again. I wore the hat 4 times as it arrived when we got the beautiful weather. I wore the hat in the garden. I will definitely wear the hat in the summer and on holiday, it is easy to take out and about and the fact it will stop my head from burning is a real positive. I wiped the hat over with a damp cloth, especially around the sweat band and found it cleaned easily. The quality is very good the material is substantial and hard wearing. I think it’s good value for the money as I’m hoping it will last for a long time with numerous wears. I would buy the hat its practical yet stylish. I would recommend the hat to others, there are a variety of colours to choose from which I think would appeal to many and the quality is good. The sun hat is great. The sunhat is made of substantial material which is hard wearing, I like the adjustable rim which is practical for any occasion. The selection of colours was good and would appeal to many customers. The UPF 50+ is a draw to keep the sun from burning your head whilst still looking stylish. Sarah Palfreeman

Look very cool! I thought the design was trendy and fashionable. I ordered Medium, but a Small would have fitted me better I think. The flexibility of the shapeable brim makes it fun. I liked the fact this hat could be rolled down to ensure you have more sun coverage. The chinstrap adjusted well and kept the hat firmly on my head. This is an ideal hat for festivals, days out, holidays etc., and the strap felt secure and helped me not have to worry about the hat falling off. Loved it was UPF 50+ absolutely excellent concept. The sweatband was effective, although I tend not to sweat too much, but is a bonus added feature. I am looking forward to benefiting from the breathable material over the hot summer months. This is so very easy to fold/roll and store in my handbag. I wore this everyday whilst on holiday. Mostly wore by the pool and on the beach. Absolutely ideal hat to take on holiday as it is lightweight, easily packable and trendy, in a colour that matches all outfits. Very easy to wipe clean. Good quality so far, very durable and strong. I do think it is a little bit on the pricey side. I would buy this as it does what is says it does. I would recommend as I think a lot of my friends would enjoy wearing this hat with outfits. This is a very good quality hat. Clair Lumsley
