MISSIONCooling UPF Boonie Hat - Unisex Sun Hat for Hiking, Beach & Fishing - Sweat & Water Activated Technology

I bought this hat just before spending a couple weeks in Cancun & it was perfect for my trip! From a long day walking around the ruins of Tulum to swimming in cenotes & hanging out at the pool this hat was everything I needed & wanted! I’m a big hat guy, I love wide brimmed hats that keep my head cool, keep the sweat off my brow & most importantly keep the sun off my face & This is by far my favorite hat so far. The brim is just wide enough to keep the sun off your face neck & ears but not too wide, it’s stiff enough to stay out of your vision but still folds up so it’s portable, the mesh on top keeps your head nice & cool but doesn’t allow it to get burned, it washes easily & dries quickly.The only bad thing I have to say is in regards to the “cooling technology”. Mission would have you believe that wetting their products & then wringing them out magically turns the hat into an air conditioner on top of your head…HAAAA! Not even close. The hat is “cool” for about 1 minute but then it warms up just like anything else would.That said, if you’re looking for a rugged, stylish portable boonie hat to keep the sun off your face & head then look no further.

Love the hat and the cooling possibilities!

Light weight and comfortable plus sun protection. Recommend!

Love the hat . I was a bit annoyed at first as it came in a plastic bag and was folded. However after reading the tags it is meant to “wring out” if it’s wet . You can wear just as a sun hat- the brim will adjust up- or as a hat to keep you cool by soaking with water . This feature will be very helpful when I mow . It is also vented to just wear as a sun hat . It is a little big but has an adjustment to make it tighter.. All in all I love the hat.

I was dubious about this hat because it is not exactly stylish, but I decided to prioritize function over fashion, and I’m so happy I did. First, it looks… ok. I wasn’t embarrassed to wear it in public, which was a pleasant surprise. More importantly, it performs really well. The wide brim provides excellent sun protection, including for the ears and neck (something my baseball caps don’t cover), and the crown is made of a thin, breathable material with small holes that let air circulate. I wore it to the beach, and the sea breeze came through those vents, keeping my head cool and sweat-free. It was genuinely comfortable to wear for hours in the sun. Frankly, I wish I’d made the switch from baseball caps sooner. This hat may not win any style awards, but for sun protection and comfort, it’s a winner.

I have an average sized female head and this hat is too tight. Fits better on my teenager. The quality of the materials is good though.

Provides great sun protection. Lightweight and easy to pack. Fit was perfect for me. A little pricey but made very well.

Very comfortable fit. You can wet it down with water to help cool you down.
