Nice hat

I absolutely love my Sunday Afternoons SunWord bucket hat. Living in the desert Southwest of New Mexico, a good sun hat is essential, and this one has quickly become my go-to for sunny days. It is comfortable, lightweight, provides excellent sun protection, and stays secure while I’m out enjoying the outdoors. The quality and thoughtful design are exactly what I look for in outdoor gear.

As someone with autoimmune concerns, fibromyalgia, and sensitive skin, I especially appreciate how lightweight and comfortable these products are. They don’t feel heavy or irritating, and being able to easily wash and care for them makes a big difference in everyday use.

The only thing I would change is adding more color options. I would love to see a wider range of shades to choose from, but otherwise this hat is wonderful. Highly recommend!

It’s a nice-looking well-made hat. The delivery was flawless. It should do the job I wanted when I ordered it.

Terrific hat!

Bought this hat for my summer vacation. I wish it came in more colors. I love it because the brim is not overly wide, as many hats are. I bought the soft dusty rose color. Its really pretty, but would love to have it in cream or teal too.

Great Hat - more colors needed

Have had 2 for a year. Love everything about them . Came back intent to buy at least one more but still no depth in color selection. Please bring in more colors including some bright colors and a classic white.
color selection, sadly. Please introduce classic white and variety of bright colors. Who doesn't love a great bucket hat??

Nice bucket hat, but poor color selection.

Great hat……but…. Just finished a Rick Steves Ireland tour. Wore it a ton. Everyone wanted to know where I got my bucket hat. I told them, but said, don’t get too excited because the color selection is poor. Sadly, colors are same as when I bought mine. Many tourists were wearing various bucket hats - they are clearly popular. Sunday Afternoon should come out with many colors! Eggplant purple, a dark emerald, navy, maybe a lovely shade of sage, etc.. not pink or lavender! AND, make the hat in men’s, too, if they haven’t already. My husband wants one but won’t buy black because it’s the one I have. Can’t be twins!

Sunward Bucket - Dusty Rose

I’m in love with his hat. I purchased it to wear in the pool from my water aerobics class to keep the sun off my face. It stays on well, and I don’t even mind if it gets wet! Everyone commented how cute it was.

Great bucket hat

It's very light weight and loose, but the string will keep it from blowing off. The color is interesting and also neutral. And it's cute!

Nice hat

Nice hat, good for outdoor games or outside walks. The tie is less heavy duty than expected, but okay. Coot is more grayish, dusty lavender.

Great fit and coverage for golf!

I’ve been searching for a bucket hat for golf that fit well, provided good coverage on my face and ears, was washable and looked good. This hat ticks all the boxes! It is so comfortable. It fits true to size and is cinchable on those breezy days. I just hope you offer it in more colors soon!

Light weight and great coverage

Use for walking and pickleball The brim doesn’t interfere with vision on the court!
Would love to see it offered in white with a grey inner brim.
I have a small head and like that the hat is adjustable.

Purple color is nice. It's a Medium and fits well. Thinking of getting another color too.
