Henschel Aussie Camo Mesh Breezer, Upf 50

This is an AWESOME hat! Fit was true to the size guide, though I did get some hat tape in case it stretches a little or I need some adjustment. It came folded over, but recovered nicely. I likely will invest in a hat shaper for when it’s stored at home, so if anyone has any suggestions there I’d appreciate it! I like the wide brim, and frankly the price point was also very competitive. The ventilation provided by the huge number of air holes was critical to me, I used to always get a hot head!

Wow, this is a nice hat. I ordered a Panama Jack vented hat and it was very cheap and flimsy. Returned that one and ordered this one. What a difference. Way worth the $10 additional dollars for this upgrade. This hat in Large fits my 23.5 inch head nearly perfect. It is a pinch snug but will definitely loosen up when worn. The materials appear to be very good. The brim is nicely shaped and stays in place firmly. I will end as I started, this is just a really nice quality hat with a nice fit and look. UPDATE: If you want your hat delivered in a quality hat box and not crushed by Amazon, be sure you order from the seller "Henschel Hats" or order directly from their website. Other sellers are not shipping the hats in the same box used by the manufacturer. I learned this after ordering a second hat that was crushed in shipping.

Purchased for my husband for a trip to El Salvador. He says the fit is comfortable, it keeps the sun off the top of his head and provides good ventilation. It also looks nice on him - we had a tough time finding a good brimmed hat because he wears a larger size.

This hat can vary in size a bit, so it's more try and see if it's perfect or not. Some run a little large, others, a bit smaller. Not extremes, just manufacturing tolerances, to be expected in any mass produced product. But these are quality hats no doubt, and very comfortable to wear. They are not featherweight hats, if that is what you prefer, just average, good quality hats that follow form and function, and deliver what they say. I will not swear to the protection in sun use, since I have not used mine in such a situation, except for short periods of time. Extended wearers in sun should seek advice elsewhere, but from what I've read and see in the quality of the hat, I would be surprised if it did not function well in the sun too, as specified. They have adequate ventilation, with a large area for the crown (top space of the head) and a generous brim to shield off any high or low sun rays that are often bothersome, along with the ventilation that is needed for many days in warmer weather (of if you are hiking hard at times and need the ventilation along with sun ray shielding), that I find comforting when I am in the bright outdoors, either coming and going with the clouds, or when needed to view through my binoculars in bright conditions. I doubt you would be sorry, unless your head size is a mis-match for the size offered. Otherwise, some headband foam can go a long way to fitting a too large hat for your head size, if needed, so larger is better than smaller. That foam is included with the Henschel hat company order directly from them, at no charge, but not often with other retailers on Amazon, nor Amazon Prime. Funny though that Henschel shipped their hat squashed (as folded) but in a hat box, which lead to a permanent defect, while Amazon sent theirs in a plastic bag with a hat form fully formed (not squashed), and that survived better. So pick your choice, but I would recommend Amazon over Henschel, from my experience. Nice hat though, and I like the somewhat camouflage exterior of the distressed gold-green as they call it. A nice muted and woodsy color, for sure in the choices offered.

Took this out west. It is not crushable, so packing it required some care, but was doable. Once out there and in use, the hat was fantastic, It provides excellent shade, particularly for the back neck and every breeze passes thru the mesh quite nicely. Also, I purchased the largest size for my size 8 head and the blessed thing fit quite comfortably!

Hat was delivered in a timely manner by FedEx. Hat was in a box with an internal cardboard shelf with raised round opening that preserved the shape very well. I bought the XL that was true to my usual size as described in the size guide. The top crown had the deeper usual indentation that kept the hat a bit too high when wearing but after pushing the top back up the hat came down and fit perfectly with the headband about an inch above my ears. Nice rigid brim and mesh provides needed ventilation on top of the head. I easily removed the chin cinch strap but can always put it back on if needed. All in all it’s a very nice, quality looking hat that is certainly worth the price. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Great hat. Cool and stylish. Durable.

Great hat. I like that you don’t have to be careful to not wrinkle it. It folks and comes back to shape after unfold it and reshape it. The mesh on top keeps my head cool and the very top is covered to keep the sun out. The is wide enough to shade my whole head and neck. Shading your whole head makes the heat tolerable. It’s light weight but heavy enough to stay on your head when active. The neck strap can be rotated to the back and its out of the way if you don’t need it. Good buy
