Review on Stay Shielded From The Sun With Our Double Layered Outdoor Sun Hat by Christopher Rodriguez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect hat for photographers!

I've never added a photo to a review but when it comes to apparel I want to see how something looks. I was pleasantly surprised by this hat. I am a nature photographer and I've been looking for a hat to fit my specific needs. I have tried others that fell short. This one was just what I have been looking for. The brim is wide enough to not only provide shade but also to stop glare from entering the eyepiece of my camera. The brim also has the perfect amount of stiffness to maintain it's shape but just as important to me is the amount of flexibility (floppiness) to be able to look through the camera's viewfinder with the camera in portrait (vertical) position. Ball caps and hats with stiffer brims have to be pushed back on your head or removed thus eliminating their ability to reduce glare. This hat works perfectly! The material is a nice cotton. I was concerned when ordering that the color would be too light because the example shown on revain looks more ivory. I wanted a true khaki color. What I received is a light khaki. I am very pleased with it! This hat may not be the coolest hat out there. The vents in the top are small and some other synthetic fabrics may (or may not) breathe better but this cotton hat works for my needs. I also thought I wouldn't use the strap but moments after this photo was taken a big gust of wind came and tried to steal my new hat. I quickly changed my mind. It's also been convenient for when I want to remove the hat and let it hang behind me. I appreciate anything that frees up my hands or space in camera bag. Then there is the matter of value. This hat is absolutely worth the money! I highly recommend this hat!
