FITKICKSFolding Cap w/UPF 50+ Sun Protection, Quick Dry, Breathable, Baseball Cap Style - Black

5 years update after daily use. The only real wear is that some of the painted-on stripe has started to flake off. At year 5 I noticed a small gap between the brim and the head cap. I stitched it up and it's fine now. Still very happy with this hat.This hat fits in your pocket! Now I never lose my hat, and I can easily pack it into a suitcase.Here are some advantages of this hat:- It looks like a normal hat, for the most part.- Minimal branding, just the "FITKICKS" logo on the side and a stripe in the back- Folds up to fit into my pockets- Elastic headband allows for very tight fits in windy weather- This will resist rain, but will soak through eventually- Dries very quickly- Durable, no fading after 1 yearThere are some downsides:- Even though it has minimal branding, I wish the hat was just one solid color- I wish it looked even more like a regular hat. The two folding seams are noticeable. The material doesn't look like normal cotton.- The buckle to adjust the head fit used to pop out. Eventually, I figured out I had to snap it in with more force until I heard a second click. Not a big deal once I figured that out though.- I recommend trimming the excess elasticI've worn this hat every day for the last year, and it's held up. It's not perfect, but pretty close. It's my favorite hat.I've also tried out  Unisex Foldable UPF 50+ Quick Dry Baseball Cap with Long Bill Portable Sun Hats, Black . It looks better but it's not my hat of choice. The folding seams are more discrete and there's no visible branding. But, the brim is slightly longer. Great for more sun protection, but it makes it look less like a regular baseball cap. The adjustment band in the back is also significantly shorter. The hat fits fine, but the band doesn't tuck into the hat as well and always falls out.

I love this hat! I bought one in a store years ago and I use it virtually everyday. It’s light weight and folds nicely for travel. It’s adjustable so it fits many sized heads. I have a small head and it doesn’t smoosh my ears. I finally tracked this hat down on Amazon and I had to buy another one.

I own other folding-brim hats and this one's brim is much longer than it needs to be, although it undoubtedly blocks more sun because of it. Would be better for sitting around the beach than for hiking, fishing, or attending sporting events because of the line-of-sight limitations. Don't even try running or biking while wearing this hat. Very lightweight, adjusts easily, and build quality appears decent. Fits on the larger size. Inexpensive.

Awesome, just fold it up put it in your pocket or bag, fits great, would buy again

I have a smaller head, hat size 6.75-7.5 depending on my hair. Crown size needs to always be low profile otherwise it has to cover some of my ears or be sloppy at the top of the hat to fit. Right now my hair is longer and basically a 'fro but still at the tightest/smallest it could go, I could not get it small enough and it still felt loose. I thought the band was too stretchy and I know over time it would give too much, but the stitching gave way from the band first. In hind sight maybe that's why the band always felt loose. I wanted to send it back since I've only worn it a few times before it broke but instead I sewed it to fix it and make it smaller.The folds in the brim are not too hard to get shaped once on, but nothing beats a fitted structured hat in looks. I like that the brim does not stick out too much. It is only slightly longer than the standard ball cap so it doesn't look dorky in that aspect.The kinda nylon material that makes it seem water proof does kinda bubble when wet but drys fine. It is not waterproof and would require hand washing. It does wrinkle if kept folded for long. It comes with wrinkles which maybe never will really straighten out for my small head.Still, of this kind of folding hat style it would be hard to beat.
