NEW-Vi Umbrella Hat Folding Adjustable Sun Rain Cap, 37.4” UPF 50+ UV Protection Large Hands Free Umbrellas, 7-Ribs Waterproof Headwear for Fishing Gardening Golf Sunshade Outdoor

This is the second one I got for my husband as he misplaced the first one, he works in the construction industry and is out in the Florida sun most of the day and he loves it !! Keeps him cool and out of the elements while he's doing his job !! It opens easy, easy to put on and adjust to fit his head and holds up well on windy days. He says it's comfortable to wear and has had numerous workers ask where he got it and even some offer to buy it from him !! Lol

Durable comfortable and it works to keep you cool or dry. I used it day after day for several weeks in sunny 95 degree weather while working in open forests and it still works. To make the top stick up you have to pull 3 or four pegs out then put them back in and you then have a vented hands free umbrella. The rubber for the head band is the same as inflatable swimming floats use. Soft comfortable with a little stretch. I used to use a wide brim hat but there was always a trade off with protection from sun and the added heat that gets trapped around the head. This vented umbrella hat takes care of that. Also its great for looking at a device . The shade on the arms and shoulders adds up after a few hours to less drain on the body from the sun. I recomend it and with the added comfort you have or the hands free aspect you can be proud to wear it.

— not the word I was expecting when ordering this, but I have a large head and it fits perfectly, and feels not too bad to wear. Well constructed and does the job. Perfect for when I must stand in the rain, but need my cane, or my hands must me otherwise preoccupied. I recommend this one for sure.

Totally bummed that this does not work with the tiny breeze created when riding a bicycle. The strap is also thin and uncomfortable on the chin/digs in a little.

I got this umbrella to help cut the intensity of the sun while I am gardening. With a few gotchas it works quite well.The good points:* The product is well engineered with an adjustable head band and double-folding supports so that it folds into a very small package.* The ventilation at the top under the second little umbrella works very well, much better than "vented" straw hats so my head stays as cool as possible.* The large size makes a sizeable pool of shade so that your arms and legs are shaded as well as your head if you sit rather compactly.* The fabric is opaque enough that the shade is of good quality. There is a lot of sun protection here if you can arrange yourself to take advantage of the shade it casts.The bad points:* The instructions are not written by a native speaker of American English and are not easy to understand. (However, if you remember that this is simply a modification of an umbrella it is not that hard to figure out.)* When wrapped up it is a bit too thick to stick into a pocket so it is a bit less mobile than I might like, but this is a minor nitpick. Basically it works as it is supposed to. I have found that the chin strap makes a decent handle for hanging it on my garden cart or on a hook in my garden shed.* The head band that secures the umbrella to the head is plastic. Not a great choice for something that is going to fit tightly against your skin. I sweat a lot under the headband. I am trying to figure out if I can put some sort of sweat rag under it without compromising the cling to my head. Leather or canvas might have been a better material for the band.The manipulations needed:* It is more than 37 inches wide. You do need to remember to tilt your head sideways when going through doors and gateways. The size of it also tends to make it a bit sensitive to wind movements. Be sure to make the headband tight enough to keep it in place. I wouldn't advise wearing it in very windy conditions.* I use it primarily for weeding my flower beds in the mornings. If I can sit on my little garden seat, facing into the sun, then bend over with my head tilted slightly upwards the umbrella shades my entire body. This took a little getting used to, but is well worth it. I can work much longer before the sun drives me into the house. This has given me a lot more gardening hours in what has turned out to be a very hot summer.Overall, this has been a surprisingly good purchase for something I had thought might just be an interesting novelty. I have also used it to enjoy sitting on the deck before the sun goes behind the tree in the evening. In that case, I put my back to the sun and lean my head back a bit. The shade spreads out a bit and the slight breeze coming up from the valley below makes the deck comfortable an hour earlier in the evening. It would be nice if it came in white as that would repel the sunlight a little better, but I am having a lot of fun with this little toy of mine.

It takes very little wind the have this thing flying all over the place. No matter how tight the chin strap is. Great for shade though if the wind is not blowing.

Might be better for just sunny weather, but not good for the wind! The headband for the hat part is quite uncomfortable to deal with, and it gets annoying when i move and the ends of the umbrella latch onto something.

But he loves it. It makes walking the dog, working on the car, carrying stuff in the rain, all better. It's actually super practical!♡
