I have had hats & caps with neck shields before, but they were always problematic. They were sewn on, which meant they were lying on your neck, wet and dirty or they were held on with elastic bands or velcro which meant after a hard breeze or large splash they went their own way. The toggle fastening system means quick attachment in 2 positions (under the brim or over the brim) and a much move secure sun shield.
This is by far the best hat I've ever purchased. Wore it all day on the boat and had no issues with the brim flopping like other hats I own. This is going to replace them all!!!
Who doesn’t love a boonie hat with the perfect shape and fit? I’ll probably get a few more colors as my go to retirement head gear.
As a boater, this hat is wonderful. High quality and aesthetically sharp. The only reason I give it 4 starts rather than 5 is that the Large size was too tight and Extra Large is a bit loose. The draw strap holds it in place though. I previously purchased the V1 of this hat in the combined L/XL size, and it was the perfect size for me.
Great hat and great value with my personalized touch.
Just right for us old timers who forget our sunscreen, keepin the Dermatologist busy burning off our noses…those nasty little…well you know what I mean.
Would be 5 stars if made in America.
Personally loved the hat and it fit great. And I love all the features for it. But the wife couldn't.
stand how it looked on me and said she wouldn't be caught with me while I was wearing it. So I had to return it. :(
The Sea Blue makes my 4th Shelta, the first in a color other than beige. I use my beige hats to work outside, fish and hike. This new Sea Blue will take over for walking my 2 Belgian Malinois dogs for a little style. I had many Boonie hats but couldn't stand the brim falling on my face and not blocking the sun. With Shelta, you don't have that problem. Sun is out of my eyes, the wind can't blow it off my head and the color is nice
The hat is perfect in every way with one exception. I had one that had the old sizing and it fit perfectly - I mean exactly. This new sizing is larger and does not fit the same as the old one. But I still love the hat in every way.
Only had the hat for about a week. Love the fit and quality. I look forward to wearing on our boat.
So glad to have found a high quality true outdoor hat for camping and hiking that actually fits. I wear an 8+ size and the xxxl fits perfectly. Not too tight or too loose. The quality was much higher than I was expecting even better than my made in Canada hats that I have worn for years. And they got it to me in 3 days which was a surprise. Good job Shelta!
Bought 4 sun shirts for a pending tri to Costa Rica. Well made and fit well! Looking forward to how they work.
This is my 5th Shelta hat, you should pay me for all the referrals! This is the best hat with the best protection under the Sun, a must for sportsmen/fisherman like me that have had Basel cell carcinoma. The hat stays put with the awesome no-flop brim at 42mph on the boat! Unbeatable in so many ways!
This is my third ,Shelta hat. The other two are still in service. All are light and comfortable and they provide excellent protection from the sun.
I had two Seahawk hats for 8-9 years and needed to replace them. I got two new Seahawk V2 hats and they're even better. My old hats were medium sized and according to the measurement instructions, the correct size is medium, however, I needed to replace the new hats for a large. Shelta makes exchanges super easy.
Prefect Sun hat keeps the sun off head and neck. Great quality. Sizing is perfect shipped super fast. Would definitely recommend.. I use this to move my grass in the hot Texas sun.
Great hat, stays on my head in gusty winds. Keeps the sun off of my face and ears as this was the reason for purchasing.
Go Gators! ( I bought the orange one)
I work outside in Florida and i wear these hats everyday,comfortable last long and no flop in the wind
Smart design, great fit and fun color. Love this hat and highly recommend it!
the hat is solid, the brim is made of some kind of ultra sturdy material so it wont be affected by the wind, etc like a straw hat would.. i got the narrow(er) brim one, it's a little skimpy in the sun coverage department but overall looks and fits well, etc...
Ventilation improved over the Raptor V2. Also, the cut of the fabric in the cap is much better looking than the raptor. I will have to see how it does when things heat up here in TX, but so far, so good.
