Customer Reviews San Diego Hat Company CHL5 Floppy Sun Hat

I like it a lot. Fits well, comfortable, shades my face and neck, and I like the neutral color of this; goes well with anything.

This sun hat is just lovely. I was a little unsure when I ordered it as one of the comments said it was sized small, but I have found that it fits perfectly and I would say my head is average size. Another thing it keeps its shape. You can pack it and it pops up. It is just great a really practical buy and a bargain. Thanks!

What a great hat. I bought it to keep the sun out of my face while at the park and kids' sports games. It does just that, without being heavy or bulky. I love that it's cotton and not plastic or straw.

This is very bendable and pretty big. I bought this for going to a derby and it was perfect! I added a flower to the side to really make it pop. I have also worn this to the beach to prevent sun burns. It is also pretty flat and you can bend it to your desires.

Love it! It's a little too big for me and the brim makes it difficult to see my face, but it also flattens out to fit in a drawer so my cat can't wear it. Perfect for bad hair/bad face days. May order in another color

Finally, a hat that fits almost perfect. It looks like a single stitched crocheted. Looks casual, yet a little dressy. Beautiful pink color. Looks like head area stretches a bit. Probably can wear year round. Will have to order more in different colors.

I have cancer and I deplore wigs, this hat is comfortable and it breathes. If you want to dress it up add fliers, ribbon or scarfs.

This hat feels great, fits nicely (a few wrinkles on the crown, but my head is on the smallish-medium side), looks great right out of the box and the brim drapes nicely. I'm doubtful that I could control the angle of the brim much with the wire, without taking it out of shape, but I don't care. I love this hat!

I bought this hat to take to the beach this summer. It's not as wide-brimmed as some hats I've seen. I always feel sort of ridiculous wearing really big hats so this is a nice medium. It seems very flexible (but retains its shape)and will hopefully be breathable in the hot sun. I haven't worn it on the beach yet but I look forward to doing so.

This is the only sun hat that fits my bigger head. There is no uncomfortable headband to make it feel tight. I had the last one for years and tracked it down on the internet to replace my first one because it had faded so badly after so much use.

I would have given it 5 stars but there is a little bit of extra room at the top of that hat that makes it look like a poor fit. However, I have a very small head and most hats look horrible on me. So, 1 less star for overall but I finally found a hat that meets all my needs. It's comfortable, soft, fits my head without squeezing it and looks like it will probably be very cool in the heat (just got it; haven't tested it in the sun). It also appears to shade my entire face, which is hard to do without looking like you're going to the Kentucky Derby. The 50 SPF is a huge plus. One of the most important features, however, is that I can fold it up and pack it. This is a big deal. Now I'm trying to decide which color to get next (because they are also reasonably priced!).

I got it in white for travel. The brim is a nice size for keeping the sun off your face without hitting people around you when you turn your head. It packed really well and it machine-washed really well (hand wash setting). My only complaint is that the brim isn't straight and flat all the way around like in the picture. It's wire so you can mess with it a little bit but I could never get it to lay completely flat.

This is not a "denim" color. More like a faded dusty blue. The hat looks good right out of the bag, then after some wear (like 2 days) it starts to fall apart. I wore it on my trip to Mexico, and the tube/lining inside broke and started to stick out. I was using at the beach as a sun hat so I didn't mind. You get what you pay for!

First let me say the fit was outstanding! Very hard for me to find sun hats that fit my small head. Using a measuring tape my head is 21" and this hat fit perfectly with no slipping down. I like a wide brim to add shade to my face to protect me from the sun and to make reading on the beach easier. The construction is a little heavy in my opinion. It's crochet and a heavy cotton so I feel it's going to fade very quickly from the sun and other elements from using it at the beach. I ordered it in red and I just feel awkward instead of diva-ish as I would if it were in black. I'm sad to say it's being returned.

The start and end knots are on the brim of the front of the hat which made it ugly. Also, there was wire knit into the hat which makes the hat too firm.
