Wallaroo Hat CompanyMen’s Charleston Fedora – UPF 50+, Classic Surf Hat, Designed in Australia

This is a very nice hat with a decent size brim to keep the sun out of your eyes and off your ears. Light weight. Cotton lining keeps it cool. My husband removed the chin strap. Hat is so light that the first stiff breeze blew it off. Had to chase it down. Chin strap is somewhat difficult to put back once removed. Eyelets are pretty small and floppy. Best advice is to leave it on and tuck it up in the hat.

Lovely elegant hat. Very comfortable and stylish.

This is a great hat. The large fits my husband’s XXXL head. The only thing I didn’t notice was that this hat is rigid and isn’t packable, I assumed they all were.

Great stylish hat for summer

I'd had a straw hat for many, many years with a wider brim and had looked in stores on occasion but everything I saw was basically a fashion fedora. The weave of my previous hat was open-air cross ventilation along the top sides. To make a long story short, it was the best coverage for me in the sun. However, it had become quite tattered as you might imagine and was in need of replacement.I pored over the hats here on Amazon and read reviews as I'm sure you do. I saw one hat that looked more akin to my previous hat and was less than half the cost of this one, but the reviews on it were marginal in some respects, so I kept looking. Anyway, this arrived in the appropriate time window and I tried it on. The feel was so much nicer than my old hat. It has some small punched holes for ventilation on the top and a lanyard - a feature I hadn't had before and wasn't necessarily looking for.Having said all this, I have had this for 2-3 weeks and use it regularly. It is comfortable, well constructed and doesn't make my head hot. If it does get warm, I can easily slip it off with the lanyard. The quality of the weave is far superior to my less costly hat and, it appears, others on the prime wardrobe site. One feature in this is a tie for the cloth band inside that goes around the base of the hat. In some respects, it helps secure it on the head as needed. This is worth the price and will serve you well for years to come.I would buy this again and will likely be looking at Wallaroo for a replacement straw hat for my wife soon.
