Bucket style hat with no-see-um coverage can be rolled up over brim of hat or tucked under crown.
This bucket offers UPF 50+ sun protection; the Outdoor Research Sun Bucket features a shorter brim that's more stable in gusty conditions, but still offers sun protection. A drawcord adjustment keeps it firmly attached to your head.

My new all around hat
I love the hat, it's very well made, the material is soft and the UPF 50 rating certainly comes in handy. The brim is wide enough to give cover from the sun, but not too wide to make you bump the brim on things as you move around. I haven't had it long enough to give it 5 stars on durability, but I have no doubt it will last a long time. Runs just a bit small I think (I wear M), but still comfortable to wear, I'm not going to return it for a Large. Definitely my go-to hat for summer from now on.
Great bucket hat
I have yet to wear this hat outside but from looking and just touching it you can tell this is a top quality hat. It's extremely comfortable on the head and the brim is large enough for full protection.
interchangeable
Easy hat to share in family with different head sizes due to the feature that tightens or loosens the hat (size up if using for this purpose) and it actually stays on in the wind even without the chin strap. It also has more coverage than your typical bucket hat -- shades the nose a bit more. Also, it breathes well -- better than thick cotton -- and tucks away in back pocket when need be. A hat that hits all the right notes.
Perfecto
Great job making this hat. It is true to size and is very comfortable without being to wide and bulky. I have worn the hat hiking, rafting, and for everyday yard work and there is no signs of wear yet. I would buy this hat again.
Does it well
I ordered this hat as a replacement for my freebie military boonie hat. This is lighter and provides almost as coverage without blocking my vision (larger and more floppy brim on a boonie). I also wanted a chin cord for windy conditions. Because my head size was midway between Large and Extra-large as measured by the directions on the OR website, I ordered both. Something is amiss because the Large (which fits me well) is larger than the Extra Large (which I am returning) despite all my adjusting and fiddling; even the brim is larger on the Large. Go figure. Anyway, it's a great hat that I will use for many years for backpacking, fishing, hunting, and, yes, even Disneyland.
