I spend alot of time outdoors.At the beach hiking walkingetc and this hat really works in the sun. It will keep the sun out of your eyes and off the back of your neck something a baseball style cap will not do. I really recommend it.

I really like my new hat. I bought it to replace my third Sonoran Sombrero which seems to be unavailable now. The Helios's bungee cord is vastly superior to the old velcro strip (in the S. sombrero) for making sure a stiff wind doesn't swipe your hat. Also the material is great. I still prefer the spherical shape of the Sombrero's headpiece as opposed to the more voluminous cylinder shape of the Helios. I also think the Sombrero's brim was wider. For those two reasons I give four instead of five stars.

The Helios sun hat works great for me. I use it all the time to do all my outdoor activities especially when its really hot and sunny. Im a person who really does not look good in hats the helios looks great and is lightweight and gives excellent facial protection from the sun. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.

This is a very good hat for keeping the sun off of your head neck and face. It is very lightweight yet durable. I have had mine for about three years and have washed it in the machine several times. The only thing I don't like about it is that it has no vents. On very warm days your head will cook inside this hat. Other than that I would definitely recommend it.

For someone who has lost their hair and now sports a clean shaven head I need serious protection when outdoors in the sun. The Helios is perfect. So light and comfortable I forget I even have it on sometimes. The brim is wide enough and holds it shape well to shade the face ears and the back of the neck. This hat is super light and packs easy. My head always remains cool and wicks sweat away with easy. It's the perfect hat for the beach hiking or just cruising around town.
