OK lets start off with that at the time of this review, it's a $12 hat that in the description states 1 size (fits all) and measurements. I purchased the "Bright Orange" for use for hunting as i like boonie / bucket hats for that purpose. This one truely is Bright Orange (very Fluorescent) to meet or aid in meeting any F. Orange requirements. It will not keep you warm in winter, however when put over a a face mask or "skull cap / beanie" is excellent in keeping snow & rain off your shoulders neck face or sunshine out of your eyes. I usually put a handwarmer between the facemask and the hat to aid in keeping warm, though doing that with this defeats the purpose due to the netting. no big deal there.

However, woodchuck / groundhog hunting in my state requires a solid Fl. Orange hat, and in that capacity this perfect to stay cool and have the head breathe a bit, and also creates plenty of shade due to the large brim (larger than most boonies).

It's very lightweight and of no issue to put in just about any pocket or pack. Head band is a bit of a terrycloth material so that'll help to absorb though maybe not wisk away sweat. The netting helps to cool when there is a cross breeze, and allows heat from your "noggin" to escape.

Beyond the chin strap, there's a little pull tab in the band to help cinch the hat to the head.

That hat isn't waterproof or water resistant (to be expected as it has netting in it) but a quick spray with water repellent found just about anywhere helps as far as wearing and keeping the hat (and head) somewhat dry on drizzly days. Again with the netting you can't expect it to keep you dry.

The chin strap is what it is, just sewn on to the edges of the hat and is adjustable. I don't really use it, but is the only way if you wanted to lift up and secure the sides in an upright position.

I do plan on purchasing a few (in a different color light grey / white / khaki) for summer everyday use as a sunhat that doesn't look too goofy on ones head. Would make an excellent fishing hat too, or for the occasional hiker. Heck....it's perfect for wearing while playing horseshoes, cutting the grass, having a drink on the deck, etc. etc.

A+++ Shipping & Packaging! Arrived extreme quick and amazingly neat in box not folded, crunched or bent in box. Looks and feels great on head! And the logo on this black boonie is extremely slick and conceled to the rest of the hat! Amazing product and seller! Now to put it to the test!

I have several of these in different colors and love the wide brim and durability. I bought a few for my friends too. The wide brim keeps the unforgiving Florida sun from my face, neck and scalp. the vented top prevents me from overheating and excessive sweating. The cord is handy to prevent the wind making my hat into a kite as well. The cord also comes in handy to hang the hat down my back and keep it out-of-the-way when indoors. Love these hats.

There I was, smack dab in the middle of the windswept plains of the Ngorongoro Crater in northern Tanzania.

Our guide had rousted out of our beds and bundled us into the safari van well before dawn, and the air was downright frosty. I was grateful to have had the foresight to pack a warm hoodie as I shivered at out first stop - just outside the entrance to the park where we looked down upon the crater in complete wonder. The vistas were absolutely breathtaking and the promise of exotic and dangerous wildlife to be seen called to us as we cruised down into the park. As the hours slipped by we were delighted to encounter zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, elephants, hippos, hyenas and the king of them all - lions.

The morning eased into afternoon and the cool morning dew was replaced by sunlight that ratched up ever so imperceptibly until it was almost blinding in intensity and heat. The danger of sunburn loomed large until I remembered my Camo Coll Outdoor Sun Cap Camouflage Bucket Mesh Boonie hat - folded up and tucked into a small pocket of my purse. I retrieved it from its hiding spot and placed it jauntily on my head, grateful for the wide brim which shielded both my head and my face form the fierce rays of the sun. As the van picked up speed moving from the hippo watering hole, I pulled the string taut and was very pleased that I could use both hands to snap photos of this amazing place, rather than clutching my hat to my head for fear of it blowing away.

Safari - saved - thanks to the Camo Coll Outdoor Sun Cap Camouflage Bucket Mesh Boonie hat

This hat worked great for the beach vacation I took. There is mesh venting, so my head didn't get sweaty. Kept the sun off my face and neck. Definitely more for function then fashion, but it was well worth the cheap cost.
