Product Customer Reviews
The perfect sun hat, nice and light with a wide brim that keeps the sun off the back of my neck as well as out of my eyes!
Excellent
I saw its benefits in the summer heat.
Good
Protected me well from the sun in Morocco. Easy to put in a bag and returns to its shape easily.
Cool product. Good design. Well made. The quality of the material and sewing is great. I recommend trying it on before buying and looking in the mirror :-). I ordered it online. I had to return it because I didn't feel comfortable in it. The reason for the return is on my side. You can't fault the product.
Practical and light
Avoid the sun beating down on your head
Good coverage, super light on the head and in the bag. Perfect adjustment
Good product, comfortable to wear
Good value for money
I feel like Indiana Jones XD. Lightweight, when I don't need it I flip it over or put it in my backpack, even folded. Let's see how long it lasts. I've had it for a month
Very breathable material, the head does not sweat
👍
The hat is of good quality and provides effective protection from the sun. I recommend it...

Additional Product Information
Composition
Main fabric: 86.0% Polyamide, 14.0% Elastane ; Inner fabric: 100.0% Polyester
What criteria must a cap meet in order to qualify as ”uv-protective”?
UV protection standards for hats are very specific: The fabric must of course be anti-UV (UPF index greater than 50), but this is not enough to claim the finished product is anti-UV. The hat must also have a wide brim and flap which fully protects the face and the back of the neck. The Trek 500 hat meets these requirements so you can go hiking with complete peace of mind: you are perfectly protected!
How is polyamide more resistant?
Polyamide offers excellent abrasion and tear resistance. Moreover, microorganisms and mould don’t trouble the synthetic fibre!
How do you measure a fabric's quick drying capacity?
The product is machine washed 3 times then line dried, then we immerse it in water and measure how long it takes to get back to its pre-wash weight.This hat scored an impressive 5 out of 5 stars, returning to its pre-washed weight in less than 80 minutes!
Product testing
The entire design team was able to test this hat during frequent excursions in the Mont Blanc mountain range, where Forclaz – Decathlon's trekking brand – has its offices.
