Great hat, followed size chart, too small.
This hat was high quality, but didn't work for me. My head measures a little less than 23" and this hat was too small in size Medium, which is what was recommended for my measurements. I like the feature of vents on top, and the wide brim, but it didn't work out.

Compass hat
Great adjustable fit that doesn't make the hat go out of shape when tightened up a little. The side air vents are super on a hot day and the brim is wide enough to keep the sun off of your face. It is a very nice looking hat for both men or women.

Perfect Volunteer Hat
I volunteer for the forest service. It is a perfect hat for this. I can put the chin strap inside the hat or use it if it is windy. I have never had a problem with its location on the hat. It is lightweight and comfortable. I have had people ask me where I bought it. It looks new still.

    Love this hat. I lost my Outdoor Research full brim hat and was on a quest for a new one for a few months. The Compass is exactly what I was looking for. I got the cream color which is very cool in direct sun. The dark under-brim means no glare. The convertible vents work nicely to allow a breeze in. My head is shaved and I can definitely feel the ventilation when they're up.The sun protection is very good - I was out from 10-2 in southern California sun with no sunblock on my neck or face and was not burned at all I'm an avid paddler so love that it floats. I was playing in the surf and got knocked over by a wave and lost my hat. I went into shore, climbed on some rocks, found it floating in the rip current and was able to retrieve it! nice. My only complaint whatsoever is that the chin strap is exactly over your ears which is a horrible place for the strap. This flaw is common to many brands so its not the end of the world, but a hat maker should know by now to put the strap forward or back of center, not right over your ears! That said, I will happily buy another when I loose or wear this one out. Highly recommended.

      I bought this hat for myself and liked it so much I showed it to the company I worked for and they adopted it as part of their uniform for outside workers. Nice design, not hot to wear and travels well if you have to pack it. I have several now and love them

        Best sun hat I have ever tried in ages. Not over priced for its features materials and fit. love the cream color and grayish bottom color for glare. The only other type hat that worked good for me was a straw hat that didn't hold up to the test of time. I love the brim style they use here. Looks great and functions very good. UPF 50+ rating is excellent. You will like this hats features fit materials and finish.

          Like the hat....basically...but why can't hat manufacturers do the things we want. They'd sell more hats for sure. Firstly...the adjustable fit works well. The flappy bits on top even work to ventilate in the rain. Good. Now my criticisms. The chin strap attaches right at my ears...as they do for others. It's too far back and the hats blows off or lifts in strong winds. I moved the attachment points forward 40mm. Works well now. The brim, despite a plastic outer rim strip, lifts in strong winds and it doesn't have enough of a downward cast for sun protection on the sides. I took to it with scissors and put a few "darts" in the sides of the brim and then glued a sheet of stiff foam right around under the brim. That fixed those problems. Sunday Afternoons...we want stiff brims! Lastly, you know how we park sunglasses up on top of baseball caps? It works with caps because they have a firm shape. 'Doesn't work with this hat though - glasses fall off every time I look down. I added glasses arm keepers at the side and a narrow hook and loop strap at the front. That fixed that problem. Gee, I rather all this was done at manufacture though. I'd pay the extra.

            I'm a girl with a big head, I measured it at 24.5".The size chart shows my head circumference at the top of the size range. I took a chance on the Large size compass hat and I'm glad I did! It fits me loosely and with the adjuster I can tighten it if needed. I'm so glad to have a sun hat that doesn't squeeze my head or ride up on my huge noggin.

              The compass hat is such a nice hat!! I bought 2 one for me size medium and one for my husband size large, fit is perfect, can be adjusted, great cover, comfortable, and will pack well. We're going to Costa Rica and that's why I bought them, but they are so great, we'll be wearing them to mow, garden, hike, everything outdoors. Not sure why the two other reviewers only checked off one star?? They gave the hat a great review, but didn't check off the stars correctly. Don't hesitate on this hat, Very nice quality!

                I stumbled across this hat a little over three years ago looking for a good fishing/kayaking hat at a local outdoor shop. The flip up vents looked interesting so I bought one. There are few items I've purchased in my life where I truly felt the product provided more than I expected. I love this hat! I keep it in my truck for anytime I may need one and I've worn it countless hours. It has always kept me cool no matter how hot it got here in FL. Thank you!

                  I bought this hat for a month-long trip to Indonesia. It is very well made and held up very well. It kept the sun off my face and back of the neck, and it is very comfortable to wear and very light in weight, which is a nice feature in the intense heat of the tropics. It packs flat in my suitcase, so it was very easy to travel with. I put it in the washer after my trip, on delicate cycle, and it cleaned up well. Very happy with this purchase, well worth the price.
