5 out of 5 stars It may look odd, but it works incredibly well   July 13, 2007

I bought an earlier version of this hat in 1984 and have used it every summer since: watching my sons' soccer games, hiking, camping and other outdoor activities in the direct sun. For the last two summers I've been walking 5 miles every day wearing this helmet. I have fair skin and have to be careful not to get too much sun.

People think the hat looks weird until they try it and find out that it really does make a significant difference. My version has a thin, rectangular sponge which attaches to the inside of the hat band. This sponge can be dipped in water. When the air blows through the sponge it feels like air conditioning. (The sponge in my hat, sadly, over the years has deteriorated, and I'm looking for a replacement of some kind.) Take my word for it: the hat really works. They're well made. After 23 years, other than the sponge needing replacement, mine looks like new. Buy one if you spend lots of time in the sun.

I purchased the hat 2 weeks ago and used it when I worked as a vendor at an street fair in 95-degree heat last weekend. It helped a lot, and the only time I needed to run it on the battery was when I went indoors. Actually, it is lightweight, and only uses 1 AA battery. Everyone who saw me with the hat demanded to know where I bought it.


5 out of 5 stars Sun Mate 692 Solar Safari Cool Hat is cool   September 20, 2008

I am way cooler with this hat than any other I've had. The band suspends the hat and the fan cools the underside. Great for working around the horse farm.

I bought this for my brother who was traveling to the Philippines. He raved over the comfort it provided him on his trip. I tried it out locally for a couple of hours during a 100 + day. It is surprisingly effective at providing a cooling effect. I'm going to order one for me!

This hat does just what it is designed to do.
With the battery backup it helps keep you cool.
