GearTOP Safari Hat for Men Sun Hats for Women UV Protection UPF 50+ Fishing, Gardening, Hiking Hat (22-23 1/2")

I absolutely love this GearTop hat. I purchased it because my doctor told me to wear sunscreen protection and specifically to wear a wide brimmed hat. I have tons of regular trucker style/baseball style hats, but needed a wide brim. This hat looks great. The color is perfect - not too light so it won’t get dirty and not too dark so it won’t absorb heat. The fit of the hat is also perfect for my large sized head (just as the fitment chart said). It is very lightweight so you’ll barely notice it on your head - no real extra weight whatsoever. The drawstring serves as both an adjustment for sizing as well as a way to lock the drawstring under your chin to keep it even more in place for those really windy days. So far I haven’t needed to lock in place as the hat fits so well. The thing that really sold me on this hat is the ventilation system. I hate hats that make your hotter and don’t ventilate well. This has ventilates amazingly because the circumference area on the upper part of the hat has a mesh that allows for airflow in and heat out. Everyone also thinks that I look pretty good in this hat as I get many compliments so far. The UVF of 50+ in the fabric is also perfect as many of the sun’s rays can get through most clothing. I truly cannot think of a better quality made hat that stays attractive. This hat ticks all the boxes for the perfect hat. Absolutely an emphatic recommend for anyone looking for a great sun hat, hiking hat, gardening hat, etc.

I’m an outdoor associate at a gas station/car wash in the south with hot summers. 1st Worn today! Perfect! I’m thrilled with it. Fits well and is comfortable! Sun shield is great. Color of item lets folks find me quickly as needed. The chin strap is comfortable, wasn’t sure about that but am glad I got this. It’s lightweight and made very well so I’m sure it’s going to be durable in my 8 hour outdoor shifts.

Comfortable but almost too tight for my big head. Keeps the sun off while working outside. Ugly as heck though. Comes all wrinkled, not like the ones worn by the models pictured.

It's nice and bright and has reflectors. I bought it for gardening, but it also comes in handy for going for walks in the neighborhood. We have no sidewalks, so you want to be as visible as possible. This certainly helps. The day I got it, went for a walk and it was very windy, but the strap kept the hat on my head. I like the ventilation, too. Helps with the heat.

Fantastic hat! Perfect for safaris.

Wonderful, well made, comfortable, great protection

I would give this more stars if the brim were truly 3.75” all around. It’s a functional hat. But I don’t appreciate that the hats in the pictures look like they are in fact 3.75” but the hat they sell is not. So it does provide some coverage of the ears, which is good, and the pony-tail hole in the back is great. But with the narrow brim it sends more disheveled- fishing-hat-vibes, which is not what I’m going for. To be honest, when I’ve looked in the mirror I’ve said “meh” out loud. Worse when I’m walking the dog and the disheveled grampa hat is combined with multi-pocketed pants or shorts jammed with everything I could possibly need for a dog walk (eg poop bags, hand sanitizer—after opening trash cans or dealing with the odd complication), a bag of kibble for treats, tissues, phone… unattractively bulging, in other words). It looks even worse on a windy day, when I need the chin strap. And you DO need the chin strap on a windy day, since it blows off without it but still remains kinda stuck on your ponytail. I know the whole bad ensemble look isn’t entirely the hat’s fault, but the hat IS the unappealing topper that doesn’t even block out much sun for all that. The brim is about 3.75” in the BACK only—where I don’t’ really need the extra width. It’s barely 3.25” in the front, and it’s only 3” on the sides. That’s the problem. They skimped, and the result is that it looks like grampa’s fishing bucket hat, AND it fails to keep the sun off my face, unless it’s directly overhead. Other than that it’s a good hat. I might have given it 4 stars if the product information were not misleading and deceptive. Like I said, the ponytail hole in the back is great. Doesn’t look bad, does the job. It has an adjustment to the band that’s easy to work with and effective. The color is also a bit lighter than the picture would indicate. I would prefer it a little darker, more like the picture. I had also purchased one that was light blue, but the actual color was off-white. I had to return that one. Another positive is that it is nice when there’s a breeze. I can actually feel the breeze through the hat. Kinda nice.

Fit and covered perfectly!

Es un producto de gran calidad, llegó bien empacado, con todos los sellos que lo validan como original, en una bolsita hermética. Lo he usado en el exterior y es muy cómodo a simple vista no es cualquier sombrero, es muy lindo y protege muy bien del sol, además que se amolda no es completamente duro y estorboso. Lo volveré a comprar en otro color, sin duda.

Very good for nose and face protection.

I feel compelled to after receiving this UPF 50+ Wide Brim Sun hat. This hat arrived beautifull packaged in a keepsake hat box (narrow but beautifully constructed). The hat was folded neatly with a detailed pamphlet with care instructions. Much apprecited. The hat is well designed and can easily be personalized to fit a smaller head by using a well designed, elasticized pull cord (similar to ones you find on backpacks or inside jackets). I appreciate this because I can make the hat fit a little tighter on a windy day, or loosen it up on non-windy days. The size of the hat fits a normal head. I'm a 5'11" female and the hat fits perfectly. I made a small adjustment with the drawstrings to make it a little tighter. I had read some previous reviews saying that size was an issue and that is just not true, unless you are a 300# football player, then perhaps there may be an issue. The brim is extra wide, which is what I was looking for. I wanted my nose, chin, lips and face well protected from the sun, and this wide bring delivers. Thank you for a well-made, quality product. I am very happy with this purchase.

The hat was nice and comfortable to wear it. It helps a lot from the sun.

The colour and the shape are fantastic. Finishing of the stitching and design gives a rich look.
