The hat has great coverage around all sides of the neck. The hat came with the neck cape attached in the middle which I liked. That secures it. My size head liked the L/XL size better than the S/M size while my head measurement was borderline to the L/XL

The SG Hat is as described and fits perfectly. Why four, not five stars/ I plan to use this on Safari next month. That's when a final grade can be given.

I really like the design of these hats, but they seem a little smaller than my previous version. I am replacing the same hat I previously had.

Great design, great quality, and as soon as the wildfire smoke clears, it will have great sun protection.

My spouse has been using one of your sun cap’s with neck flap and just loves it, cool, comfortable with plenty of protection for neck and shoulders. Based on her recommendation I purchased one of your Sun Guide caps and have been wearing it pretty much every day since. It’s Lightweight, cool, comfortable and now my main go to hat when I head out into our gardens. Very happy with my purchase.

Love the material. Sooo soft and it keeps me cool. Love the versatility, with the snap to bring the flaps to the back. It shades well that way and gives me a good view around me on my walks. I added a sunglass to the brim.

The drape that hangs over the ears should be make of heavier material or better might be just a heavier hem along the bottom. As is it blows off and up even while hiking with no wind. Sure it can be buttoned down but I do not like to do this all the time and only when needed - with this cap it is needed all the time. And the cap overall is a bit much with the headband, other stuff etc. - seems like less would be better. Terry

Perfect for fly fishing!

Karen Crosby Verified 07/11/2026

Love this cap! It totally protects my head, face, and neck from the sun. It’s versatile in that it can be worn fully shielded or snapped back to just protect the back of my neck. I highly recommend this cap! I bought two of them!

This is the best had I've ever owned. I bought my first one for a cross-country bike tour in 2013 and have had one every since. The brim is the perfect length to keep sun off of your nose and face. The curtains keep the sun off your ears and neck no matter what the angle of the sun is, and the snap keeps it closed if you are riding or it is windy. I love that I can take it off, flip the curtains inside the cap, and put it back on if I just want the cap. Also, when you flip the curtains into the cap, you can fold the cap onto the brim, then fold the brim along the middle, and the whole thing will fit in a pocket! The best travel/hiking/biking cap I've ever owned. I just wish I could buy extra curtains; if you lose them you'll need to buy another cap, I think.
