Muryobao Women's Ponytail Sun Hat UV Protection Foldable Mesh Wide Brim Beach Fishing Hat

Nice wide brim, able to wear it with or without a pony tail, chin strap keeps the hat secure in breezy weather. I have used it to play tennis and hike. Brim is stiff enough that even in breezy conditions the brim doesn’t flop around, exposing my face. I like that I can adjust the size easily. Overall good quality and a very good price!

For the past several years I have been on the hunt for the perfect sun hat. I had this vision of this cute, but somewhat quirky, hat that I can wear doing yard work, fishing and going to the beach. You know, the hat that is part Steel Magnolias, part Sex in the City? I have purchased more than a dozen hats in this quest and was beginning to think the hat that I wanted....no, the hat that I NEEDED, wasn't out there. Part of the problem stems from my big head. I have a larger than average head for a woman. I'm not taking a Shrek head, but definitely not petite. Some of the hats I bought in the past simply wouldn't even go on (mostly hats I purchased from Shein). Some went on, but were too tight and after wearing them for a while I felt confident I was losing blood flow to the top of my head. I did find some that fit, but they were either flimsy or quite frankly, ugly. I had settled on a man's hat I found at Walmart because it fit, covered enough to be functional and I could throw it in the washing machine. However, I ran across this hat on Amazon and thought, "What the heck? I can return it (although I'll probably forget and end up with another crappy hat in my collection) so why not?" When I say that I'm so happy I ordered this hat, please know that you can switch out "happy" with words like delighted, ecstatic, joy-filled and blissful. This hat is cute and so functional. First, it fits my head. There is a little adjustable band in the back so big-headed gals like me can have the room we need. Second, the hole for the pony-tail is big enough for a thick, curly pony-tail. Third, it covers your face and neck without being obnoxiously large. Fourth, it is completely functional and sturdy. I just got back from the beach and would spend a couple of hours a day out in the water fighting the waves with my teenagers. I would just put my back to the waves and when a giant one came and drenched everyone else, the wave completely left my face alone because the brim of the hat acted as a sturdy barrier and I had no mouth/nose full of salt water to contend with. PLUS, even though I used sunscreen everywhere, my face and neck are the only places that ended up without a burn. I'm ordering two more of these hats in case they stop making them before I wear this one out.

This is a nice hat. Good quality. It has a spot for your ponytail. Mid weight. Easy to adjust. Color is true to photo. Perfect to keep sun off of your face.

I really like the concept and overall design of this hat. I have long hair so my ponytail is always an issue with hats. I feel like the quality is good for the price. Lots of colors to choose from. The mesh sides allow for airflow which is good. It's washable too.I don't quite understand why they used 2 layers of mesh on the sides and there are 2 layers of mesh liner inside the entire hat. It's not really needed.The adjustment clasp on the back is really flimsy and comes unhooked too easily. The chin strap is very cheap material. I think this hat is made from similar material that those reusable shopping bags are made from instead of real fabric.I'm taking it on vacation and will see how it performs. Again, this was a great deal and it will meet my needs. I just wish it were made a little differently. I would pay more for an improved version.*update:I took this on a cruise and wore it every day. Went swimming with it too. It was very comfortable to wear. I hand washed it once and then tossed it in the wash machine with my post-cruise laundry. It washed very well. The hat fit well (I have a smallish head so many hats are too large). Since this is Asian made, I figured it was designed for smaller people. I got 6 compliments on the style and color while on vacation. 2 asked me where I got it. I still don't entirely trust the strength of the chin string, but I didn't lose it so that's good.

This is the second hat from Muryobao that I've purchased from Amazon. It's lightweight but because of the SPF brim around the hat, it does a great job of protecting my neck and my head/face from the summer sun. My husband loves the little ponytail opening, which I use all the time. I think I have a fairly large head for a woman and this is definitely the most comfortable one I've ever owned as it fits securely on my head. Additionally, I appreciate the tie strings (I usually keep them tucked inside the hat) which I use on occasion when we're out and there's a strong wind. At least now I don't have to worry about my hat blowing off and away.
