Packable, cute sun hat

12 replies

Thanks in advance for any help.

I typically suit hats but for some reason I can't find one that is packable, has a fairly wide brim, sun safe, and doesn't make me look terrible. I get hot easily so if it's breathable that would be great.

By packable, I mean rough travelling, shoved in a daypack, rained on, deserts and off road. I'm good for holidays, it's the harder travelling I can't find something for.

Tilly's for example, just don't suit me! Straw hats like fedoras do but they won't pack.

And I have a giant head, just for an added issue.

I wore this hat all the time on holiday in the South of France in 2023; it was much better than I expected.

I have a big head too. All those brains of course.

The weather was around 32 degrees and very humid. Folded easily into bags and case etc.

Or is that too holidayish?

That's good! Nice wide brim.

I love these. Do they really come back to life after folding?

@MrsTerryPratchett Mine's fine, it does get a bit creased up if squished carelessly (you get instructions on best way to fold it to travel, and a bag to pack it in), but even then it comes back with a bit of wear. I tend to pop it in the bathroom and the hot steamy air from a shower does the trick. I was going to send a photo but can't find the hat, suspect squished in a suitcase somewhere, probably w/o the bag.....really hope I've not lost it!

Best £20 I spent on a sunhat IMHO.

@Ariela I have just bought one too - I never find a hat that fits my giant head, so thanks!

They didn't have the colour I wanted in the size I need, but I'll take it, as IT'S BIG ENOUGH 🥳🥳🥳

MrsTerryPratchett · 07/03/2025 01:18

My hat arrived. I meant to update.

Lovely hat, fits well, very stylish, and rolls up!

Thanks!!!
