icolor Sun Hats for Men Women with Neck Flap,Foldable Sun Cap Fishing Sun Hats,UPF50+ Sun Protection Ponytail Hats

Purched this for my dad to use when he cuts the grass to get the sun off of him and it really works..light tan color and light weight and wind resistant.Fits like a charm

Love this hat - needed something to keep the sun off my face/cheeks/neck and it's worked out great without even having to use the front face covering.

Very well-made item. Beautiful color and great fabric. Snaps work very well to keep the neck flap and face flap (veil) in place. Folds up easily and very compact, so fits in the smallest purse, even a pocket.I gave it 4 stars versus 5 for 2 reasons, both because of exposed areas.There is a hole in the back for a ponytail, and that is an excellent idea when folks don't need the solar protection there. The lower/neck flap, however, is also split into two sections such that, when worn, a good area of the neck can be exposed to the sun, especially if you have snapped the flap in the front closed. When snapped in front, the neck flap becomes more of a "shoulder" flap or cover.Secondly, and this is simply a function of the hat's design I should have realized when buying it, the areas at my temples/upper face area exposed to sunlight. This is a triangular area about 1 x 2.5 inches outside of the eyebrows. Not a big area, but one where I already have skin damage. I can reduce this area by snapping the neck piece flap in the front, but then this pulls the flap away from the rear of my neck, exposing the area above my shirt collar. I can again reduce (but not eliminate) this exposed area at the temples by installing the face flap (which fits nicely), but I would probably seldom wear the face flap, unless at the beach on a boat, so infrequently.I have decided to keep the hat despite these issues as it is so well-made and compact that I can at least fold it up into my purse and have it for some protection when out and about. Also, I decided that I would seldom snap the neck flap in the front, so I am sewing up the rear split in the neck flap to keep full protection on the back of my neck.

Fits small heads

Use case: outdoor pistol competition. 5 - 6hrs w/ minimal-to-zero shade in HI; summer here now so ~93 degF+ (34C) with 80-100% humidity. Several generations in HI so tan well, but still burn in these conditions...Claim: lightweight, quick to dry -- yes, can vouch for that, even as sweltery as it can be here in direct midday sun. Was having to constantly wring out a shemagh; now easily 1/4 the weight and drier to boot.Claim: UPF 50+ sun protection -- not a doctor nor an authority on skin cancer or UV exposure... but even shifting the buttons back over the ears & allowing two vents to exhaust out hot air and sweat out the back... didn't have half the tan reaction/burn w/ skin not properly slathered in sunscreen or under UV-blocking clothing. 6 hrs in the midday sun, constantly moving with only the cap, bill, and neck flap to protect my face and neck... does the job.Claim: LOL not the most English-literate ad copy writer... but it does absorb and dry sweat much better than a shemagh, long the standard for Afghanis and our coalition in the desert (also warms and protects your neck when it's brass-bra-cold there, which is why iColors aren't more popular there, I suppose :) ).If the ad claims waterproofing... we don't compete in rainy, muddy conditions for safety, but I'd say this claim isn't really 'marketable'...Note: I don't use the face mask -- in more temperate or dusty conditions, this would provide even more protection. Not to mention it all snaps apart for washing, then folds into itself for your pocket or range bag.Summary: Was using a cap-dome-mesh-vented, but conventional ball cap and a shemagh, and hating life. Saw a fellow competitor with one, and noticed he rarely had to do all the fussing around with it I was. For $12+shipping it was a no-brainer...Tips: For those who're using this for tasks like mowing the lawn or chainsawing trees (requiring ear protection)... take the two forwardmost snaps and move them 2 snaps rearward, so two vent openings appear in back. Safety-pin the center of the elastic portion of the flap, to the cap adjuster (see pic -- this doesn't appear to affect the amount *I* felt tanned or burned, and definitely improved comfort... but if you're fair-skinned and have to work outside at midday, may be better off snapping everything normally).This allows bulkier earpro (like my giant Pro Ears Gold 28dBs) to seal to the skin, rather than onto the flap laid over the ears. It also allows sweat/hot air from your neck to escape -- noticeably better both for earpro and comfort. :)For my use case (which I think may fit most potential customer use cases)... the price is reasonable -- getting more in this comfy, minimally-heating grey color, for the yard.
