I love this navy Sunshine Fedora. It is made from 100% handwoven paper and is one size. It also comes in a natural color with white contrast and hibiscus yellow with orange contrast. $39.00.
If you need a packable hat for travel, try the Walleroo Hat Company’s Scrunchie Sun Hat. It is lightweight, packable, crushable and UPF 50+. It is 100% polyester and comes in eleven colors. $45.99.
Another packable sun hat is this Lanzom Wide Brim Straw Panama Roll Up Hat. It is UPF 50+ and made from woven natural paper and straw. The circumference is 22.5”. The brim is 2.9”. The size can be adjusted from the inside. The brim can be worn up or down and it will maintain its shape even after being in a suitcase. It comes in 17 colors. $14.99.
This Striped Straw Boater from Justine Hats is lightweight with a 2” brim. Great for hot days as the loose weave lets your head breathe. It is made from raffia straw and is $12. Good for both men & women.
