Strap broke 2nd time I used it, and it’s 1 week past the return window. Very poorly made. I expected more from Dakine products.

Positive: Love the blue color....now my surf buddy can spot me easily.Negative: The one-size is too big for my 7 1/8 head. I wish Dakine made it in 2 sizes, medium and large. As it is, this would be the large size. I have to max out the velcro tab to make it stay on.

Nothing to dislike about this surfing hat.Stays on when duck diving. Protects you from the sun. Chin strap is strong and fits well.Hat even protects your ears from getting sunburnt.Doesn’t protect your neck, so lather on a lot of sunscreen lotion and wear a long sleeve rash guard. Perfect hat.

I got this for SUP surfing, specifically to aid visibility in the bright sun. When the sun is out, being on a SUP can be rather blinding. What this does is effectively block direct sunlight in the eyes, leaving only the water reflection remaining. That's enough to improve eye comfort and this cap functions properly for that. I have read mentions that the clip is pretty flimsy and I would concur. I certainly would treat it gently and pay attention when clipping and unclipping to avoid breaking it. I think they could have put a burlier clip (mid way between this and a helmet clip) to avoid this issue. And that would be my recommendation to Dakine.The flip side of getting all that sun protection is, of course, comfort. The question I had was, is this going to be ok when I get thrown off the board and tossed and turned in a wave? Is it going to be safe, ie not cover up my eyes? Is it going to be secure? So far, the answer is: yes. It does not cover my eyes, nose or mouth if I fall in the water. And so far, it hasn't come off. Again, the main issue with buckle isn't the strength of the connection, it's the strength where it connects to the fabric. It's quite a thin piece of plastic.Still, I think, on the whole, this is worthy of five stars. I think the comfort and look of the smaller buckle is a feature for some, and I think it's sturdy enough to last a two to five years, if treated properly.

I hesitated (for years) to wear a surfing hat, but this cap was a pleasant surprise. I've been wearing it while surfing for the last week. It's comfortable and really stays on, even when I get thrashed around in the 'washing machine'.Because it's lightweight and has a lean profile, I can almost forget that I'm wearing it.Definitely happy that I bought this. Protect your head from UV!

Did not fit me at all, especially the strap positioned and constructed in a way that clasp cut into my throat. But I also assume it’s different for every person.

Ich habe eine Cap gesucht um beim Kiten Augen und Ohren sowie Kopf vor der Sonne zu schützen.Durch den kurzen Sonnenschutz hat man den Kite auch aus dem Augenwinkel gut im blick. Ansonsten sehr bequem, hochwertig und erfüllt seinen Zweck.

This hat was perfect for my surf trip to puerto Escondido where it’s super hot. It protected my head from getting sunburned and also kept the sun from blinding me when looking out for more waves or at the shore.The bad reviews complained about the clip being extremely hard to take off but it is just a clip that you just press and it comes apart.The quality seems to be good as well. It stayed on when I ducked dived Under big waves and didn’t rip like some others complained about.The bill is short enough to still block the sun and not be a nuisance while out in the water.My only complaint is that I would get a headache after wearing it for a long time since I put it on too tight and it would cut off my circulation. I didn’t want to loosen it cause I was afraid it might come off.Well worth the money compared to some other more expensive surf hats I was looking at. I’ll buy another
