Quick dry brimmed hat
Marketed by dryrobe ® as a ‘ summer essential ’, I think they may just have hit the nail on the head , especially with the incredibly changing weather we experience in the UK . I certainly could have done with this hat recently at an event I attended on a beach in Cornwall where we experienced all sorts from burning hot sun to squally rain – it would have been perfect .
The first thing you notice about this hat is that it is very lightweight and supremely comfortable as it ’ s elasticated , so it stretches to fit most sizes . It ’ s approximately 58 cm or 23 ” in circumference .
It has a UPF50 + rating and a nice wide brim for great protection from the sun . The front of the brim has a stiff inner so that it won ’ t flop down over your eyes . Four large eyelets are in the crown of the hat to let your head ‘ breathe ’. The hat is water-repellent and fast drying for wet days , and there ’ s a contrasting adjustable chin strap for those windy days . The wide brim will also stop the rain from dripping down your neck .
Having tested this in the sun , wind and showery weather , it performed well , stayed put and is very comfortable . It also dries out nicely and quickly . A great addition to your hat collection for sunshine and showers whether you are by the water or not .
Available in black and orange . RRP £ 35
