Customer reviews
Possibly the only hat you will ever need
I bought this model hat (1018) in 2005, whilst on honeymoon in Australia.
Now some 19 years later, it is still going strong.
It has travelled with me wherever I go.
At it is light and squashable, as the name implies it slips easily into the inside pocket of my suitcase.
It has been high in the Rockies and has also proved invaluable protection from torrential rain storms in the tropics, as well as here at home in the UK.... Don't leave home without one ☺️

Happy customer
Bought this for my husband’s birthday. However, although all his existing hats are large and fit well the large in this style didn’t so had to sadly exchange to an extra large. Received excellent customer care as an exchange was made speedily.

I really like this hat.
It looks good and is very comfortable. It’s so light that I can almost forget I’m wearing it. So, why only four stars? Because with extremely high winds so frequently this hat and so many others really do need chinstraps! I have added one.
