Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

UOG TOP PICK – Sunday Afternoon’s Cruiser Hat – Biggest Brim in a well designed Sunhat- We’ve singled out Sunday Afternoon’s Cruiser Hat as one of our top recommendations because its got just about the widest brim we’ve seen on a hat and yet still manages to look good.

Sunday Afternoons has taken design cues from the traditionally popular ‘Booney’ hat and added our signature lightweight comfort and sun protection to create the best selling Cruiser Hat.   Popular styling will keep this sun hat from getting shuttled to the back seat of the car – it will be worn and worn and worn some more!  

The Cruiser is the perfect hat for the person who likes the look a traditional hat but insists on daylong comfort for maximum-advantage sun protection. At the club on the river or in the backwoods this hat will deliver the skin protection you need. The Cruiser Hat’s spiral stitched foam core brim – 3` front and sides 4` back offers ample solar coverage. Ultra comfortable new integrated wicking sweatband keeps you dry under extreme conditions. Crown ventilation will keep you cool while elasticized rear sizing cord and chinstrap holds hat in place when the wind picks up. Packs flat. UPF 50+.

Our Verdict

Sunday Afternoons hats offer incredible performance! We don`t say that lightly Sunday Afternoons are committed to designing headgear that protect the wearer from the Sun and they achieve this in spades. The protection they offer is invaluable.

The Cruiser hat has a very wide brim which takes care of the sun protection its well-constructed but the brim is wired which means its not crushable, so you have to be careful how you store it. The chin cord is fixed but can be snipped off if desired – the hat is quite deep so providing you get the correct size it won`t blow off in any but the strongest winds.

In the crown there’s an absorbent mesh band and a vent around the top edge. There’s also some size adjustment by virtue of a shockcord around the back edge. Its a really good hat with the only drawback being the wired brim – but that’s necessary to preserve the shape and look of the hat.
