Information

Genuine raffia straw hat is lightweight and resilient

  • Oversized 5" brim protects your face and neck from the sun
  • Chin cord with adjustable toggle for windy days
  • Elastic sweatband absorbs perspiration

Constructed of lightweight, resilient raffia straw harvested from tall palm trees native to Madagascar, this hat offers exceptional protection from the sun's powerful rays. Hat retains its shape after a long day in the field or on the ranch. Oversized 5" brim protects your face and neck from the sun, while the chin cord with adjustable toggle keeps the hat securely in place on windy days. Elastic sweatband absorbs perspiration, keeping it out of your eyes. Imported. Specify hat size: S/M (6-3/4 to 7-1/8) or L/XL (7-1/4 to 7-5/8) from the selection box above. See drop down for sizes currently available.

      won't tolerate wind

      By Jack Veggie

      About Me Practical

      Verified Reviewer

      Pros

      • Great shade

      Cons

      • Wears Out Quickly

      Best Uses

      • Indoors away from wind

      Comments about Raffia Straw Hat:

      Within 12 hours of use, 3 out of 3 (one was a warranty replacement) fell apart. A fishig line woven into the brim pokes out and eventually works about a foot out, leaving the brim spineless and floppy. Gemplers was good to replace the first one, however.
