MISSIONCooling Bucket Hat - Unisex Wide-Brim Hat for Men & Women - Lightweight, Foldable & Durable - Cools Up to 2 Hours

This cooling bucket hat is exactly what I was looking for. The color is a crisp, true white, making it perfect for sunny days by the pool. It kept my head cool and shaded, and its light-weight and breathable which makes it comfortable to wear. Personally, I like the style—even if my girlfriend says it’s not really “my look.” Oh well, the hat works great, and I’m confident she’ll come around eventually. Function over fashion… for now!

Great hat for so many reasons. I live in FL and go to the local parks often. The hat is light weight, folds easily in my bag, can be worn easily around my neck when walking inside. It fits well, on my head, comfortably, and has a securing safety strap for windy times that is comfortable. It shades me from the bright sun, cools me as well, and is comfortable. I loved it so much, I bought another in a different print.

Hat looks good and provides plenty of sun protection for ears and face. Its fabric is good quality and lightweight and breathable. It keeps your head cool in the summer heat too!

I bought this hat for roughly $20 and at the same time purchased one of the other Mission brand baseball cap style cooling hats so I have been able to compare both of these hats. This bucket hat isn't huge, and for my big head it is a little on the tighter side but still perfectly comfortable for me. Could be an issue for some though I imagine most people will be fine as I know my head is bigger than average and the fit doesn't bother me.As to the cooling powers of the hat, I mostly use it on hot days when I am lounging in the pool to shade my face and keep me cool as I work on my tan. I dunk it in the water then slap it on my head. The only part of this hat that is going to cool you is the top and the inner rim that goes around your head. So for as much water as this hat soaks up, it really doesn't do much but run off and provide shade like any other hat. It stays cool for what seems a short amount of time but it does help. If you are on the go, I would keep a spray bottle handy so you can keep misting the top and inside every hour or so and get a lot more mileage out of it. Overall, it is a good hat but I feel the ball cap style hat is better for day to day. That one soaks up your sweat better than this one and if you do start to overheat with it on, take it off and it'll cool you down again once you put it back on after a few minutes thanks to the sweat retention. Both benefit from keeping a spray bottle nearby, and I do consider that a must have if you are trying to get these things to cool you down, but if I could pick only one I would go with the cap but luckily the world doesn't work that way so I can use the cap at work and then this bucket hat around the house and pool. This cap is definitely a bigger help in rain as well thanks to the wider brim. While it isn't perfect it is still worth buying just remember to have realistic expectations. An hour of good cooling effect after a good soaking and maybe you can get two hours in shade under ideal conditions. Every person is different too, so that is just my experience. Regardless, it is a worthwhile purchase and I am happy with my Mission hats.

I had to buy my own after using my husband‘s hat. I like the fit and cooling feature. The material is lightweight and cooler than other cotton bucket hats I have worn.

Nice hat though not a one size fits all (my boyfriend has a larger head) but is able to stretch out. Cool after wetting and resnapping.

I saw this and thought it was pricey but if it worked on hot summer days it was worth it. I like it has a strap that keeps it from blowing off my head in wind. It is well made and a nice color. I don't really see how it is any different from hats I already have as far as wetting down the band inside...I really didnt notice a difference from my other hats....thus I thought it to be more expensive than it should be.

Fits well and comfortable. Very comfy. This was my second purchase of another color.
