Product Details

Description

“The Sunday Afternoon Garden Visor is perfect for the pool, beach, or, you guessed it, garden. With a cute woven design, bow detail, and 50+ UPF, this visor protects you without sacrificing style. Another detail we like is the elasticized strap, which keeps your hat compactly rolled up, making it easy to take with you on errands and adventures alike.” 

— Real Simple 

The Garden Visor, as its name may suggest, enjoys helping out in the garden, but also provides a healthy dose of facial protection wherever your fun in the sun takes you. Lightweight and breathable woven blend is as attractive as it is packable—just roll it up and toss it in your bag.

I love this hat and wear it every day since receiving it! The pattern and color match just about everything I wear, I can wear it while keeping my hair up, and it provides very good sun protection of my face and ears. However, there are a few things that make it a bit awkward: it leaves a line across my forehead where the band sits, and it sometimes pops open because it is quite stiff and the velcro doesn't overlap a lot because my head is on the smaller side for this hat. When that happens, sometimes it messes up my hair. With that being said, I still love it and will wear it to pieces :)

Really like this garden visor but maybe should have gotten the s/m size however that size was sold out.

Nice, well made hat but would be better if the big bow in the back could be removed.

I purchased the Natural and Tweed, M/L, since I have a big head and most "regular" hat sizes are painfully tight for me. I am so happy with the process of ordering, email updates, shipping updates, and delivery. I also LOVE these visors! So beautifully elegant and feminine. I also got several compliments from strangers. The back is a bow shape with Velcro. I'll see how it holds up over time. My go-to hats with intense Central Texas summers!

I really like the extra wide brim, which gives the face great coverage. However, the Velcro did not hold very well I had to take a needle & thread  & tack it on at the bow.

Not suitable for places with wind.

Although the visor is quite attractive, it does not hold in place when there is wind. It simply blows. I was riding my bike and it fell from my head twice. Not good.

Love my visor.

Protection from the sun in Florida is important! I wear this visor all the time. I can drive with it, shop with it because it’s the perfect size.

Great stylish and functional hat

Love it. Comfortable, breathable, and stylish. Is feminine-looking and offers good coverage without being too dorky. ;) I wear hats all day most days, and swap between caps, full brim western hats. This one has quickly displaced many of my other go-to hats! Only complaint is I'm not a big fan of velcro closures. The velcro does work well, but I'd always rather a strap with slide buckle for an adjustable hat.

Never Received

I did not receive either of these hats on my order. I reach out to customer service but they said they were not responsible for the lost hats and it was carriers fault. Sunday Afternoon did not help in any way or offer any solution.

good coverage and pretty - velcro is not that stro

love the look and coverage of this visor but velcro is just not that strong. I may sew it on.

My Lucky Visor!

I have had this visor for years. It is my lucky fishing hat and it is a trouper! it stands up to a brisk wind, is comfortable, and does the job of shielding your face from the sun.

Almost perfect

Nice visor but too clunky with the bow over the velcro. Velcro doesn't stick well because of it.

Not Enough Velcro to Securely Attach Hat

I purchased this for gardening, moving pasture, and swimming. I have been searching for a hat in this style for a long time. Things I love about this hat are the quality (so far the brim has stayed nice and firm), comfort, portability (rolls up for tucking into a beach bag), and ventilation (I love that the top of my head breathes and that I can wear a top-knot bun). My big complaint is that the velcro attachment is shaped like a bow (a purely aesthetic detail I don't love, but whatever), and as such the middle of the attachment is pinched in, which greatly reduces the available area of velcro for attaching. I have to pay close attention when attaching it and even so, at times it doesn't stick well and I have to fiddle with it several times. I need the hat to fit snugly so it stays on my head in light breezes or when moving around the garden or sheep, but it seems this puts stress on the tiny amount of velcro and it often comes undone. This is disappointing given the price and had I realized this when trying it on, I would have returned it. If a new version of the hat comes out with a better and more secure attachment, it would be the most ideal straw visor!
