Wonderful hat/ superior customer service!

I have bought some cheap hats in my time but wanted to invest a little more in a quality hat that I want to wear...enter this hat. I love the light weight, the quality, and the comfort of the material. Amazing customer service, as well. Thank you, Sunday Afternoons, for getting my hat to me just in time for my vacation to sunny Costa Rica!

I love the hat. It’s lightweight and breathable. Super comfortable to wear in the heat. And it easily folds up and packs nicely for travel.

This hat is perfect. The brim and hat part are very thought out.

I have two of these cruiser hats. One is large- I like having it a little loose , with the ability to adjust the crown with the bungee cord, if it's windy, or I'm riding a bike. The second one is a medium that I use for prone padding. It stretches slightly when wet and I like it a little more snug so it doesn't slip down over my face. I snug it up a little more to let it ride a little higher in front when padding away from the sun. Where this hat really shines is in the construction of the brim- it has a poly wire(plastic) sewn into the edge of the brim which keeps it from sagging, even when wet. They don't really advertise this feature, but it's what sets it apart from other hats. Also like the vented crown and boonie style look. Great all around hat, and more shade than hats designed for surfing.

Like the hat, could have used a little larger size but it should do.

Not the same as before, disappointed

I have bought this hat 3 (or more ?) times over the years and now another 2 (mistake) to replace one
I had lost recently that I had for many years.. I have bought many other 'bucket' style hats elsewhere
over the years, but this Sunday Afternoons hat was by far my favorite. Discovered at a Sunset Gardens
Open House. But now it is not the same while in the past it had been a reliable replacement. (a) it is a bit
smaller, wants to pop off my head unless I jam it down and it is too tight (b) the 'sweat band' size is much
smaller (c) The brim is stiffer, too stiff (more formal ?) I liked the less 'formal' more casual feel/appearance
of the more flexible brim (d) a small point, but the Sunday Afternoons embroidery is gone which I though
was a nice quality touch. So, I have one of the old ones left, though sweat stained I will wear that one and
after that probably will go looking. anew. I see that the management at Sundays Afternoons changed
in 2023. Maybe that explains things.

Now my second one!

I bought the Sunday afternoon Cruiser after seeing it in a plant store in Florida. It immediately became my go-to sun hat. It's comfortable, fits well and stays cool. Now back in Michigan, I bought another, for up here!

Perfect hat!

This is an awesome hat. I’m actually on my second one!

Cruiser is an excellent product- buy it!

Best Hat I ever Had. I have a small head and the medium cruiser fit perfectly. Great hat rim, rigid enough to not bend, pliable enough to be comfortable even in windy conditions. I've hand washed it and it keeps its shape - has just the right amount of sun coverage and isn't hot to wear - Excellent workmanship !

Close but not perfect for me

I need a hat for riding my bike or e-scooter that gives me good protection from the sun and that has a brim that won't flap up as I'm on the move. I also have an Ultra Adventure hat. The brim on that one is great (no flapping) but the back of the hat flaps wildly in the wind. The issue with the Cruiser is that there's a strip of fabric around the top that isn't sunproof. (This lack is sort of clear in the advertising and I could have paid more attention to that.) There's a similar strip on the Ultra Adventure but that is sunproof. I wish this strip on the Cruiser was sunproof (50 spf) and that the brim was a bit more stiff. Otherwise I like the Cruiser. It's well made.

Great fit & style. I like the extra shade length for the neck. Cleans up easy..

Bad Brim

Brim wrinkled up so bad i could not use it. Contacted Sunday and they would do nothing. I tried everything to get it to lay flat but nothing worked. I would not buy this had again. Also when they ask you for your email on the front page of thwir site don't give it. It promises 15% off. I never got the email discount. Sent them an email and they never replied.

Super Sun Hat

I previously owned one of these hats, and lost it. I wanted another just like it! I really like this hat because: it's lightweight, has a chin strap for the wind, covers my face well from sun, and is easy to take in a suitcase. I am outside a lot - and this hat is great for everything.
