I introduced this hat in 2004 and have been so pleased with the response. This wide brimmed sunhat and the Oblong Brimmed Super Sun Hat have consistently been my best selling summer hats. I really didn't realize how many folks had been searching for such a wide brimmed hat. I am very happy to offer this functional and easy-to-wear hat in even more colors this year!
Be sure to check out my latest addition to the 5" brim Super Sun Hats, the Oblong Brimmed Super Sun Hat - designed with the men and wind in mind!
Here is the sun hat for anyone who needs the ultimate protection for their face, ears and neck. The 5" brim is like wearing a small umbrella on your head! I make this hat out of Solarweave, which is a high tech solar protective fabric that has an "Excellent" UV protection rating of 40-50+. It is nylon supplex, so it is very lightweight, breathable and dries quickly.
I put closed cell foam in the brim and use a dark colored cotton or cotton batik on the underside and outer edge of the brim. This gives the extra wide brim structure and stability. It has a drawstring around the head to adjust the size to fit from 21 ½" up to 24 ½" and also a neck strap to make sure it stays with you at all times. These extra wide brim sun hats come with CoolMax mesh vents on the side for ventilation and an inner band of wicking material. This helps to keep a cool and dry head.
Go ahead, take it with you - this hat travels very well when rolled up!!
I have added even MORE batik choices this year!
