I THINK THE SHELTA HAT IS ONE OF THE BEST AVAILABLE TO HELP PROTECT YOU FROM THE SUN AND WEATHER. THEY ARE EXPENSIVE BUT THEY HOLD UP BETTER THAN MOST HATS AND I FIND EASY TO KEEP CLEAN,
It’s a relatively expensive hat, but well worth it. It’s especially good in windy conditions. My first one lasted several years of everyday use.
the hats and neck covers are the best I’ve worn for this Florida heat. They I’ve shared with my Brother-in-law who has also taken to it too.
I appreciate the bill that doesn’t fold with sweat or rain.
Bought one for me and one for my wife. In Texas it is good to have a sun block
Good fit overall but seems a little larger than advertised when comparing the fit to the firebird and seahawk versions.
Very airy and tons of protection. I think it’s a very well thought out design, especially with the pocket in the back and the way the hands are protected when you go through the thumb and finger loop to keep the back of your hands from getting burned.
So far, so good. Just what I was looking for. Had it on the beach and in the ocean this week. So nice to not have the brim flopping around in the wind. Fits well and is comfortable to wear. Would definitely recommend.
I bought this for fishing on my flats skiff. The brim on similar style hats always flopped up or down in my face when the boat was up to speed. The Shelta works as advertised! I actually forgot I was wearing a wide brimmed hat. It feels like a ball cap but offers all the sun protection of a wide brimmed sun hat. I hope it isn’t too hot for Florida summers. I haven’t had a chance to test that yet.
I just purchased a Land Hawk Shelta for my husband. I read that you aren’t to fold or crease the brim. However, I don’t see any instructions on how to prepare the hat for travel. This site is loaded with tons of excellent information. I suggest a short demo on how to roll/fold. I’m excited to provide him with a quality hat to protect him as much as possible from another skin cancer diagnosis.
Article arrived as described, outstanding quantity and good fitting.
Love my hat can't wait to purchase a different color, service was quick product was great proud owner.
Great Hat, all my golfing buddies want one! Ordered by phone from the home office and the executive who
Helped me was the most helpful!
Firebird V2
Great hats! I have already purchased four of the same model, one for each of my sons and two for me. Highly recommend
Hard to find a hat with a wide brim that is usable sailing in high wind. Shelta fits the bill perfectly.
This is my second Shelta since I wanted a wider brim. The hats are very well made and hold up to the wind quite well. Amazing, actually. The fit is comfortable and adjustable. I love these hats. My first Shelta started to get sweat stained, and the Shelta directions to use a baking powder slurry worked and the hat looks like new. After several years of boating and saltwater use the hat is still going strong with no signs of wear.
I haven’t had this Osprey long but so far between my Condor, Seahawk and Osprey, I think my favorite is the Seahawk.
This hat is functional for protecting you from the sun, durable, light weight, and looks good.
Also a good hat to travel with, packs flat in the suitcase.
