A good sun hat is a must for staying cool and protected in summer and those early fall days when the sun's rays are still intense. But, of course, protection doesn't come cheap. That's why it's so exciting to see this popular Furtalk Sun Straw Hat Wide on sale for $22 (was $36) at Amazon.
Want a classic floppy beach hat? You found it.
This bestselling Panama hat is on-trend — and it offers UPF 50 protection. Made of paper straw, the hat feels lightweight on your head.
This wide-brim number features UPF 50 protection to shield your face, neck and ears — it helps to protect your skin from rays and possibly prevent age spots. It's also foldable, making it easy to toss it in your bag or suitcase when traveling. Choose from a range of colors and band styles with this pretty Panama. There are even different size options to ensure that just-right fit.
More than 10,000 five-star reviewers can't stop gushing about this summer must-have.
"It looks so good with everything," said a happy shopper. "I've worn it every day since I purchased it. ...I have a bigger head and thought this might not work on me, but I get compliments... It also keeps me very cool despite the 100-degree weather in California."
There's even an inner sweatband to wick away moisture and keep you cool. "This is the perfect sun hat!" raved a five-star fan. "It’s really comfortable and looks so cute. I love that the brim is stiff enough that it doesn’t flop down in my face, but flexible enough that you can fold it for travel."
Shoppers also say it's versatile. One reviewer said: "Good quality. Surprised with how versatile it has been, from blue jeans to summer dresses all the way to black tie formal and even pairs with black leather pants. I am impressed and have had so many compliments!"
Better yet, it's also lightweight. "Liked how the hat does not feel like you’re wearing it," another shopper wrote. "I bought it for myself for when I’m at the beach to keep the sun out of my eyes."
"This hat was perfect for my recent beach trip!" one impressed vacationer shared. "It stayed on well on the windy beach days, it protected my head and neck from the hot tropical sun ...and it looked stylish even after being packed in my suitcase!"
Looking for more hat options? The Furtalk Wide Brim Straw Panama Hat is on sale, too. It's tightly braided to keep the brim from taking on a wonky shape over time.
