Bucket Hat Wide Brim UV Protection Sun Hat Boonie Hats Fishing Hiking Safari Outdoor Hats for Men and Women

The vent holes are fake, the material is robust. The strings are good quality. snaps are very good.

Not up to expectations

Nice, cheap bucket hat. It fits well and doesn't get to hot.

Easy to pack, folds flat. Comfortable. Loved it on a trip to the Caribbean.

I bought this as a backup hat for when my beloved and adventure worn 'Free Authority Outdoors' boonie hat kicks the bucket. My old one is starting to unravel and get holes, and they don't make this particular hat any longer, so they've become difficult to find. This one by Phaiy looks almost identical to my old hat and has the precise dimensions, so I decided to pick one up. Initial thoughts . . .PROS:*matches my old hat almost exactly, almost as if they used the 'Free Authority Outdoors' hat as the model for this one. Same design and dimensions in every way.*3 inch brim is nice. A lot of boonie hats have 2-2.5 inch brims. Wide brim=better sun protection.*chin cord is a sewn strip made from same material as hat instead of that dumb woven rope most boonie hats have. Big plus for me since the rope tends to fray and pick up stickers and junk on the trail.*fits perfectly and looks great on my head.*Inner shell is cotton canvas and seems ok, but not great.colors match the picture in description well. I love the olive drab and burnt orange combo!*hat is floppy compared to many boonie hats I've worn. This is a PRO for me, as I like the floppiness and the look it gives...others may see this as a negative, but it's one of the reasons I went with this hat.CONS:*came folded up like origami, so brim is now really creased and looks goofy unless I wear it with brim snapped, which is luckily how I usually wear it. Perhaps the creasing will go away after washing/wearing it.*hat is not 100% cotton canvas on the outside, only on the inside. I really wish the entire hat was made from 100% cotton, but it isn't. (listing says it's high tech and more durable than cotton. We'll see)*chin cord is set forward so that cord hangs in front of my ears instead of behind them, which is a pet peeve of mine on hats. I can force the cord behind my ears, but it's uncomfortable. Might not be the case for everyone.*Outside of hat has a sheen to it that makes it look somewhat like velvet. It's very shiny, which I don't care for. Probably due to the outside material containing polyester.*lackluster craftsmanship: The sewing on the seems ain't the greatest. There are some loose threads, and areas where the seems aren't in line. Material is somewhat thin, compared to my old hat. Not sure how it's going to hold up to heavy use, sun, water and repeat washings. We'll see.*No tag on hat that lists materials. Seller listing says it's cotton, poly and PU, but who knows? I guess China doesn't have the same obligation to post materials on tags as U.S.I may alter this review as I use the hat. These are my initial thoughts of the item right out of the package and after trying it on and wearing it for a short time. It was an inexpensive hat, and one gets what they pay for. If you're looking for a basic boonie hat to keep the sun off your face at festivals and such, go for it! If it's for heavy trail use, fishing, etc...it may or may not hold up. Again, I'll have to see how it fares after some trail hiking and such. Worst case scenario, my kids can wear it, and I'll keep looking for that elusive used 'Free Authority Outdoors' boonie hat I got at Ross for 7 bucks over a decade ago. There must be another one out there someplace.

Comfortable, stylish, practical and made of natural material. Cannot think of a single complaint.

Nice hat decent decent quality as well.

Love this bucket hat. Great sun protection. Love the adjustable string, it's perfect when it's windy the hat stays put.

Love this hat!!! Fits great and covers my head and ears perfectly. Definitely recommend
