Henschel HatsHenschel Men's Aussie Crushable Hat

The quality of the hat was not in question. Very well made and looked great. The hat fit snug. Normally wear a 7 3/8 and based on chart size and similar product fit at Academy I ordered the L. The large came with an insert to go in the hat band to "adjust the size" to fit but based on the price I did not want to utilize that. The medium fit well.One laughable comment: the large size came in a large hat box. It was wrapped in plastic and well "guarded" in the box to prevent damage and was left at my door. The medium came in a plastic bag that was shoved in the mailbox. I know this is marketed as a "crushable" hat but thought the packing difference was humorous.

This is much better made and higher quality than American Hat Makers' Traveller, and much better priced. However it would look better with a lower crown and slightly smaller brim (or perhaps it's the Aussie look ?). Love the two-tone color. Haven't tried crushing it to see if it would retain shape.

I have had a succession of hats for tennis and walking the dog. I bought this one (Henschel Aussie Solarweave) because we were going to be spending whole days outdoors in Greece and Italy and I sunburn easily.Once in Europe, I slathered sunscreen on, slapped this hat on my head and headed outdoors. The weather turned out to be unseasonably mild, so my fears of sunstroke were allayed. But the hat performed fantastically.In the sun, it provides enough shade from glare that sunglasses become optional. In the rain, it keeps my eyeglasses and shoulders dry. Best thing: I can keep it on indoors, say on the metro or in a museum, with perfect comfort. My wife was constantly removing her straw hat because it was too warm. Meanwhile, because of the airflow through the wide weave in the sides of the crown, I was as cool with the hat on as I was with it off. The hat is so light that it is less obtrusive than my glasses.The cord tie is essential to keep the hat on in the wind. It is also long enough to enable you to let the hat hang down your back when you don't want it on but you want your hands free (say on a cathedral visit).I crushed it fairly frequently during travel. It recovers with only hints of creases. The shape stays solid, but it gives it a less-than-new look, probably a good thing for such an outdoorsy piece of clothing.I won't be playing tennis in it because the brim is too wide for a tennis serve, but otherwise I expect to wear it a lot and then replace it with the same model if it's still available.

I was on the fence with the size measuring my head at about 22.5 inches but the large, which says 23”, fit perfectly without any adjustment.Good packaging and color representation with the green.

This is the perfect hiking hat. Wide brim to keep the sun off my face. Crushable so it will pack nicely in luggage. I love the mesh sides to let the breeze in and the solid top so my scalp doesn’t get sunburnt. String tie makes me stop Worrying about the wind. I won’t hike without it!

I am an avid hiker, I live in the southwest USA, and hike all over NM, TX, AZ and CA. I am so happy with this hat. It is very cool, light weight, and has a wide brim. It fits perfectly. When there is any kind of breeze I can feel it blow through the hat and cool my head. Made in the USA is a great bonus too!

The Hat does what I need although the fit is not great. I had a place measure me up for a hat and used that measurement for purchase. Hat is too big. A friend of mine had already had a measurement done and used that for other hat purchases and had the same problem when buying a Henschel and being too large. Great hat sizing seems problematic. He sent his back and got a size smaller but for me I needed a hat on the day I discovered the size issue and didn't have another so used it. I don't think it can be returned after spending a day in 100 degree heat and my head wet from sweat. If I buy another it will be in a size smaller and this time with back up in place in the off chance the sizing is off

I wore this hat every day all day for 10 days straight while at Walt Disney World in Florida. It was 90-95 and the sun was hot but this hat kept my head from being cooked and the sun off my face, well worth the investment. My size is 7 1/8 and a medium fit perfectly. The only issue I have is a crease in the brim from inadequate packaging during shipment

Es de uso flexible.

Etwas zu schwer

After looking into the reviews on sizing, I ordered a small since the reviews stated the hat fits lower on the head. I usually wear a medium but glad I ordered the small as it fits perfectly. Very cool on a hot sunny day since its breathable mesh and wide brim.

Nice hat, but unfortunately bought a slightly too small size so tight around head band and cannot adjust it.

Très content d'avoir trouvé sur Amazon le frère jumeau d'un chapeau que j'avais acheté précédemment aux USA !Il est pratique, protège bien du soleil, léger à porter et cela donne un petit look d'Indiana Jones pendant les randonnées.Je mets seulement 4 étoiles, car l'emballage est moyen et le paquet arrive un peu écrasé.
