DDYOUTDOOR™ 07-281 Fashion Summer Outdoor Sun Protection Fishing Cap Neck Face Flap Hat Wide Brim

Great material. good under the sund. fits easily and lighter. Easily to foldaway and store it .

Best hat EVER. I cannot tolerate the sun on my skin and for years I have been looking for and buying hats with large brims to shade my face. I saw this on Amazon while looking for a sun proof shirt. I purchased this in tan and loved it. The back shields your neck and the sides can be snapped together in the front to keep the sun off your jawline and neck. There is also a front attachment if you need your mouth and nose covered..maybe for dusty days. I loved the hat so much I returned to Amazon and purchased it in Pink. The hat is lightweight and stays secure when you pull the drawstring. There is ventilation in the hat as well. I am thinking of buying a third one.

Overall, the hat works well. I was able to adjust it (using a pull cord at the back) to fit my 71/4 head size snuggly. This enabled me to do my outdoor work without having the chin strap in place and without the hat falling off as I moved around (even bending forward or to the side). I have given this hat 4 stars versus 5 for 2 reasons. First, I hat I received was not the same color as what is shown online. Online, the hat is a paler tan with white/off-white mesh. Even in some customer photos, the hat is more tan with whiter mesh. The hat I received is definitely a dark/gold khaki with slightly lighter gold mesh, not a great color for me nor one I would have picked if I had known. I would have ordered the light grey instead. Still, I will keep it as it is for yard work where only the mosquitos and bugs will notice. Secondly, the face piece (like a veil) attaches via velcro to the temple region of the hat. Unfortunately, when in place, this veil pulls on the hair at my temples and is very uncomfortable (pinches and pulls my hair whenever I move with the veil on). The veil has the male part of the velcro, with the softer female part sewn onto the brim of the hat, and this softer part is not noticeable when the veil is not attached.. Also, while it works generally well and mostly stays in place, the back flap attaches via plastic hooks and elastic loops that enable the hooks to detach too easily when working or moving. Overall, the hat has worked well for sun protection. Nice snug fit when "cinched down. Good brim, nice full coverage along the back of my neck (when the flap is secure). Just can't wear the veil with it when outside, which is unfortunate as I wanted to protect the bridge of my nose during some treatment for sun-damaged skin. The forward portion of the brim, however, is pretty nice and covers much of the rest of my face. Wish the face veil and back flap had been attached using snaps, much as some other makers use. Final review: I will keep it for my outdoor work despite the noted drawbacks as it is lightweight and quite comfortable, well-ventilated (in 90+ degrees this week did well).

I highly recommend this hat for hiking, kayaking/SUP, and yard work. I’ve used it for sunny and rainy portions of hikes. It’s cooling and keeps sun off face and neck. Neck strap keeps hat from blowing off your head. It’s very packable for backpacking. I like the snaps on the neck flap. It lets you protect your anterior neck from sun without the face mask part. I have no problem breathing or talking through the face mouth piece which I secure with sunglasses. When not using face mask portion I tuck it into hat or pull down. Plastic clips to hold neck flap have been fine with the heavy use this hat has had but I never use without neck flap. May not be the most attractive but it is functional and allows me to be active longer when the uv index is high. I bought this because I was sick and tired of sunburns.

I really like this (light gray) hat- the band is adjustable with an elastic locking slide tab at the back, and there’s a tie for under the shin with the same slide lock. The flaps remove pretty easily (there’s hooks rather than snaps in some places- probably so it hangs better?) —It’s light weight and breathable; I’m female with a regular size head (most Womens hats fit me) and a full head of hair (the hat is tall enough to fully cover the tips of my ears and there’s extra width space to accommodate a man’s head- before i adjust the band for my smaller female head) but if you are bald- the mesh sections probably will not give you adequate sun coverage -so wearing a bandana or other head covering or sunscreen protection under the hat is recommended in my opinion (there seems to be plenty of room to add a liner even for the average man’s size head). But for me I’m glad for the mesh so that it’s cooler since I’m in hot Texas. The two sections of flaps sit under the brim and hang nicely, and can easily be removed for washing. —Washing: I’m going to wash this hat by hand (so the brim stays flat) but if it’s put in a net bag- it might be ok to put it in the washer? (But it will not last as long I don’t think- for any hat to be washed in a washer). I wouldn’t wash it in the machine without a net bag because of all the strings that can get tangled and then ripped off.

I hate hats, I've refused to wear them even skiing. Now, needing to protect my pate from hot Hawaiian sun I'm out in for hours every day, this hat is easy and comfortable to wear, for hours. Super lightweight yet holds its shape after a few washings, the neck guard easily covers shoulders. Plenty of coverage from the sun - but not hot! I would definitely buy another one when this wears out, which it shows no sign of doing yet! Update: after a few years, I bought exactly the same hat again. Looks like they may have improved with rust-proof grommets. My only other suggestion - make the sweat band Detachable for easy washing, and maybe a second to snap in while the first is getting cleaned?

I've been buying this hat for 6 years and this is the first time it's small, also in all 6 years the plastic hooks for the neck flap never last they always break i have to bend thermostat wire to keep the neck flap in place . They're great for the sun, but just these small inconveniences are annoying.

So actually, I bought this years ago, but recently a friend said they wanted one, so I just bought my second one, and realized I didn't leave a review LOL, so here's my review. Great hat, VERY breathable, I sprayed my down with some Scotchgard, it has vents so it won't be water proof at all, but when it sprinkles, my Scotchgard makes it semi resistant lol, it's very light weight, the attachments are great, the back of the neck one is awesome, the front mask one is also great (don't Scotchgard that lol) I've used mine a lot for the last two years I think? And I've gone on plenty of camping, backpacking, and kayaking trips with it, its held up pretty well! The little plastic hooks aren't the strongest, a few broke on me over the years, but I replaced mine with a few metal ones, and just did a lil tweaking, and it holds up. The fabric and the hat itself are VERY tough, I mean, sure, not 100$ tough, but I still don't have any tears or holes, and for how cheap it is, that's amazing lol. All in all, great hat!

Diese Kappe kann ich derzeit nicht auf ihre Sonnen - Wirksamkeit beurteilen, weil ich sie im Winter gekauft habe und sie für den Sommer gedacht ist. Insgesamt hinterlässt sie - als chinesisches Produkt - keinen soliden Eindruck. Ich vermute , sobald sie im rauen Angler - Alltag mehrmals auf - und abgesetzt wird, dass die billigen Einhängösen des Seitenumhangs, abreissen.

- I love this hat so much, during the summer I wear it to every hike to protect myself from mosquitoes, bugs, and strong UV. - Size of the hat fit my head very well, perhaps it's because I'm a woman and tend to have a smaller head circumference. The hat doesn't fit my boyfriend's head though. - I like the design, especially the mouth cover is removable, so when you feel hot you and need a bit more of fresh air you can always easily take if off like a mask. I also like the cover at the back of the hat, it protects me from getting sunburn on my necks. - Overall I love it!!

Me gusta mucho. Tiene elástico por el cráneo y la mascarilla está útil.

the item is ok, it is more a dark cream than a khaki. for the price I paid i was expecting better quality. the face mask has a mesh right in front of the nose and mouth area for breathing, but it is a different colour than the rest of the mask - you cannot see that from the listing photo,

Very happy with this fishing cap - it's light, good quality and a bargain at the price.
