Nice hat

Nice hat, kept my husband's head dry. He likes the adjustable cord to hold the hat on his head.

Knotty discomfort!!

I love the hat itself - well made, great style, good fit EXCEPT, there is no way I can see to secure the circumference adjusting strap other than to tie a knot in it which leaves the knot precisely between the back of your head and the adjustment rope. Fine for 5 minutes, very (headache inducing) uncomfortable for 50 minutes. likely will get very little wear on me.

Very nice quality and rain proof

It is just the best hat for rain. I don't get any rain on my face with this hat. Brim is kinda smaller than I would like but other than that it's great. Hard to adjust is another problem the string is too short to tighten the hat

Ultra Storm Bucket Hat-- Great For Rainy Weather

I had been wearing one of my many Adventure Hats when it was rainy. I purchased three (3) of these, haven't worn yet; however, just as all of the Sunday Afternoons hats, this rain hat is well made, and I am sure will be a great addition to my collection! I can't wait to wear it in the Spring rains!!!

Supper in Sun or rain

Good looking bucket that offers not on sun but rain protection. I wear a 73/8 ball cap, from experience I ordered a medium. Great fit wit a little wiggle room.

Great Hiking Hat

Great outdoors hat. It is light weight and durable. The color is much brighter than the photo.

Hat arrived damp inside a wet box.

The box that my hat was delivered in was very wet, dirty and damp on the inside where my hat was not protected. It smelled like wet cardboard. I washed it in cold water with a small amount of detergent in the sink. It helped but the smell was not completely gone on the brim. After airing it out for several more days it was better. If the hats were placed in a plastic bag inside the box that would have been avoided. I'm glad I didn't order one of the winter hats or straw hats on sale I had been looking at. They would have been ruined due to the wet box. One of the other hats I ordered on Amazon was shipped in the same box as a bottle of plant fertilizer and it bent the rim. I even placed seperate orders so they wouldn't ship them in the same box. I'm tired of dealing with poor shipping and hoping products arrived in new condition. I'm all for reducing the use of plastic but not to the point products arrived damaged. I have 3 Sunday Afternoons hats and like the hats but will think twice about ordering them online.
