Overall impression With its SPF 20+ rating, this lightweight wide-brimmed hat delivered superior sun protection without sacrificing style or comfort. Its generous three-inch brim offered excellent face and neck protection, and featured a navy lining that effectively reduced glare. The hat was made of patented loose-weaved Solvarveil® fabric, a complex yarn structure touted for its superior breathability, wicking properties and the ability to block UVB and UVA rays.
It was hand washable and dried in minutes. It flattened and folded easily to take no more packing space than a handkerchief. It could be extracted from the most overstuffed bag wrinkle free and ready to wear to any outdoor activities, from city sight-seeing to hiking in the wilderness.
