Coolibar Innovation
Not all clothing is sun protective, not all sun-protective clothing is equal.
Innovation is at the heart of Coolibar’s philosophy. We've developed the world’s leading UPF 50+ fabrics that’s lightweight, soft, breathable, moisture-wicking, fast drying, cooling, water repellent, and antimicrobial.
UPF and SPF - do you need both? Yes! Everyone needs UPF and SPF protection.
Between UPF and SPF, the concept is essentially the same—to protect your skin from ultraviolet radiation or UV rays. What SPF is to lotions, liquids, and serums, UPF is to fabrics and clothing.

Coolibar Xylitol coating has the remarkable ability to create a cooling sensation when it comes into contact with moisture, such as sweat. This cooling effect is a result of an endothermic reaction, which means it absorbs heat from its surroundings. When you sweat, the xylitol in the fabric absorbs some of your body heat, providing a refreshing and cooling feeling on your skin

My head is on the large size yet this hat is able to accommodate that quite comfortably. The rim is large enough that my face and neck were protected while I was in the field. It is very light and I had to check to make sure it was still on during the day.

Measured my husband's head and ordered XXL. Fits well and is comfortable to wear. The dark under brim really prevents the glare from a white under brim. I found out the hard way as I am really sensitive to light and ended up with a second hat with dark material under the brim. Night & day difference!

Well that’s a big brimmed sun hat. Nicely made. Chin strap holds it in place. Size may run a bit small so recommended to buy a size bigger. Use this to mow grass today. It’s a great sun hat no question. Been wearing their pants for years. Fabric is tough. I’d definitely recommend getting one. Thanks to our lame politicians the sun is getting hotter.

You can shape the brim to whatever you need. I mow and go to the grandkids sporting events, and this is a game changer! No more using my hand as a visor, even though I was wearing a ball cap. I have issues with sun damage to head and face, so I really appreciate the wide brim and flexability. The wind does not bother the fit at all.

Bought this one for me and the gal's one for my wife. We love them and started wearing them regularly while outside in the Arizona desert sun. Good fit, stays put, looks classy. Just what we needed.

I have a big head. Luckily I’m also tall with wide shoulders, otherwise I’d look like a human toffee apple.I’ve never been able to wear hats, except baseball caps on the final hole. I learned long ago the promise of ‘one size fits all’ was not for me.Finally, facing another long hot Aussie summer, I decided to apply all my big-headed power to finding a hat that fit me.After a lot of googling it came down this Coolibah one or a ‘boonie hat’. To be honest I probably would have bought a boonie hat as they are much cheaper, and enough for what I need, but I couldn’t find one that I was totally confident would fit my giant melon.This Coolibah one had several positive reviews from fellow members of the big head clan, so I thought what the heck I’ll spend $100. It did feel like a lot money for a hat though.It took a while for it to get to me in Adelaide, over 2 weeks. When I opened the box and examined it, my first reaction was ‘this looks quality’.As soon as I put it on my head, my heart sank a little. It does fit, but it’s a touch on the snug side.I took it on a full day hike, my first big test. Fortunately it was comfortable all day, it didn’t annoy me. But I still wish it was like 1cm bigger. And this is an XXL hat!I can’t fault the quality at all, it is clearly a superior hat. I noticed a couple of other reviewers complained about the shape of the brim. I don’t know what they’re talking about. The brim is awesome at blocking out the sun and is exactly the shape and flexibility I expected.In terms of the style, I felt like the second I put it on I was transformed into a 48 year old accountant taking his family on a RV trip to Florida. I’ll probably only wear this while gardening, hiking or maybe at the beach.In summary, this is a well-made, slightly too expensive item. If the style appeals to you and you don’t have an even bigger head than me (which is probably impossible), you won’t be disappointed.However, if you just want a hat for gardening or hiking you may want to look into boonie hats too.

We havent worn these hats for any length of time as yet, however, they appear extremely well made, a wide brim for the best sun protection and a nice fit and shape on. These will primarily be worn while sailing but they would suit anywhere.

Fellow men with big heads...do you not bother buying hats of your favourite sports teams, because you know they never fit? Are you tired of those hats which say, OSFA, and you feel that it's fraud, because it doesn't fit all? Those hats which are adjustable, that barely fit because it's holding on by less than 1cm of velcro?This is the hat for you! I am so happy I found a hat that was deep and fit my big head! I'm a size 7-7/8 and also require hats to fit deep. I bought an XXL and it fit and performed well for my Caribbean vacation. I wore it our sailing, some swimming and while playing beach volleyball.Yes, I was hesitant because of the price. If the Costco version of this hat would've fit, I would've bought it. The Costco version fits my two sons who are 8 and 6 and will forever have the same issues as their dad.This review is after 8 days of wear in Jamaica, and I hope that it continues to be a great investment in terms of quality and function for many years to come.Update 7/12/2022 - I still love this hat!! I wear it fly fishing or at the pool. I came back to order the gray coloured one, but it's not in the XXL, just the brown (don't really want the brown). Have confidence if you have a big head/melon that this hat is for you!

This is an excellent hat. It is really comfortable to wear and super adjustable. It’s been a great addition to my sailing kit. I love it.
