About this item

  • COOLING: The fabric weave absorbs water, and the hollow-core construction actively spreads to store water throughout the hat. Just wet the fabric until damp, wring it out and snap it to activate its effects. Repeat the process when cooling wears off.
    •
  • LIFESTYLE: The BuiltCool Adult Boonie Cap is perfect for active lifestyles. Stay cool while outdoors when fishing, camping, hunting, during travel, or hiking. It is a khaki color to match all styles of apparel or safari fashion.
    •
  • BUILTCOOL: This hat features a BuiltCool mesh vent around the back half of the bucket cap with 5 bar tacks to hold the flap down. A mesh sweatband is on the inside. Updated 2021 Sizing: M/L 60cm (23½”) and L/XL 63cm (24 ½”) circumference
    •
  • FABRIC: The cap is made with 100% polyester mesh, biocool, and a moisture-wicking lining. The hat and brim wick away moisture and provide shade protection to keep the sun out of your eyes and face.
    •
  • COMFORTABLE: The fabric cools up to 30 degrees below your body temperature. Use this hat before, during, and after your activity to keep your body comfortable. Water provides an instant cooling comfort for quick relief.

It will actually fit your 24.5" head!
I usually have to buy hats from places that specialize in large hats. This one fits perfect and is in proportion for someone with a large head IMO. I liked it so much, I bought one in another color. I haven't evaluated the cooling characteristics but the fit is good and it should keep the sun off my head, neck, face, and ears.The brim isn't totally shapeless either. It sort of stays where you put it.I can't say I'm a fan of the chin strap. I already cut it off of one of the hats and I may cut it off the second. Otherwise, no complaints.Update: I’ve had a chance to evaluate the cooling abilities of this hat and I am impressed. I definitely feel cooler wearing it, even though it’s a dark color.

I read a lot of reviews saying the hats were too big. I ordered the large anyway so I can have a hat big enough to wear over a bun. It was too loose so I ordered a size down and got the small/medium and it fits perfect. Not too loose and gives my head just enough breathing room (I can fit 2 fingers under the middle front of the hat and my forehead, and can rotate it without friction on my forehead). The chin tie is perfect for windy days. Haven’t tested the hat when it gets wet but either way it’s worth the money!

I bought this for my husband who does a lot of gardening. He loves this hat with the neck shade that he can dip it in water, wring it out and wear it comfortably. I bought one for our adult son without the neck shade and he likes it for the lightweight shade it affords him when he's out walking. Very well made. Large/X-Large Khaki. Fit very comfy - not tight on head.

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020
Size: Large-X-LargeColor: AnthraciteVerified Purchase
It’s my own fault. I read the reviews saying this thing was massively oversized. But truthfully, so is my noggin. I have a giant head. I rarely find a hat that fits. This one I can pull down over my ears. I’m not really sure it’s meant for a human. I tried it on several of my other friends who I consider to be cranial challenged, and none of us had a different result. When they say bucket, imagine pulling one over your head completely. that’s pretty much what it’s like. Construction is great, material great, size, absolutely ludicrous.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quintissential Sports Bucket Hat
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2020
Size: Large-X-LargeColor: KhakiVerified Purchase
The large/xlarge is a perfect size and fit for a tall 6'4" man with proportionally sized head. For reference, I usually wear an adult, male, adjustable baseball cap set to the last two notches. Would prefer one notch larger but the ball caps are not designed to just use the last notch.

It also has ample room to smash on head down to ears which is the way bucket hats are meant to be worn. It does not have a drawstring so it may not be suitable for sailing but I wore it on a brisk bicycle ride today and worn so the brim did not catch the breeze, it stayed securely on my head.

Always been a big fan of Columbia brand boonie/brimmer hats. This is similar or better quality plus it takes up less space so it is easier to jam in a pocket. I compared brims and the built cool hats brim is only sightly smaller. When worn correctly down by the ears, the sun protection is quite good.

For sports, this hat is probably better for walking, running and hiking rather than tennis because it is meant to be worn low so visibility is low. You could certainly make it work a bit for tennis if you flipped the brim up and wore higher. For higher speeds like bicycling or sailing, I would recommend another hat specifically designed for it.

I am active and hard on hats. This hat is perfect for my lifestyle since it is portable, lightweight, breathable, and designed to be washed in a sink and hand wrung out.

To all those complaining that the large/xlarge is too big, it is not so quit ruining it for actually tall, large size men and buy a size appropriate for you. Fat typically does not accumulate around your skull so, if you buy large clothes because your are husky, don't assume your hat size is the same. Also this is a bucket hat specifically meant to be worn low so it will be roomier than most hats. For most men, the medium hat would likely work and for women the small.

I like the hat so much that I just bought another one so I can keep one at work and one at home. It is hard to find well designed hats so this was a lucky acquisition.

Hat worked as advertised, my husband loves it. To make it fit I unstitched the band at the back of the hat and resewed it tighter. There is a bit of a fold at the back but it fits properly now and keeps him cool.
