Ultra Storm Bucket

The box that my hat was delivered in was very wet, dirty and damp on the inside where my hat was not protected. It smelled like wet cardboard. I washed it in cold water with a small amount of detergent in the sink. It helped but the smell was not completely gone on the brim. After airing it out for several more days it was better. If the hats were placed in a plastic bag inside the box that would have been avoided. I'm glad I didn't order one of the winter hats or straw hats on sale I had been looking at. They would have been ruined due to the wet box. One of the other hats I ordered on Amazon was shipped in the same box as a bottle of plant fertilizer and it bent the rim. I even placed seperate orders so they wouldn't ship them in the same box. I'm tired of dealing with poor shipping and hoping products arrived in new condition. I'm all for reducing the use of plastic but not to the point products arrived damaged. I have 3 Sunday Afternoons hats and like the hats but will think twice about ordering them online.

The perfect sun/rain hat!

Great design!

I love thiss bucket hat 🙌🏼❤️ it has been the besttt thing

Nice hat, kept my husband's head dry. He likes the adjustable cord to hold the hat on his head.

Super cute hat, love the strap and the fabric for a PNW winter.

I love the hat itself - well made, great style, good fit EXCEPT, there is no way I can see to secure the circumference adjusting strap other than to tie a knot in it which leaves the knot precisely between the back of your head and the adjustment rope. Fine for 5 minutes, very (headache inducing) uncomfortable for 50 minutes. likely will get very little wear on me.

Perfect hat for rain or sun!! And even better, it is easy to pack. 👍❤️

It is just the best hat for rain. I don't get any rain on my face with this hat. Brim is kinda smaller than I would like but other than that it's great. Hard to adjust is another problem the string is too short to tighten the hat

I had been wearing one of my many Adventure Hats when it was rainy. I purchased three (3) of these, haven't worn yet; however, just as all of the Sunday Afternoons hats, this rain hat is well made, and I am sure will be a great addition to my collection! I can't wait to wear it in the Spring rains!!!

Good looking bucket that offers not on sun but rain protection. I wear a 73/8 ball cap, from experience I ordered a medium. Great fit wit a little wiggle room.

Great outdoors hat. It is light weight and durable. The color is much brighter than the photo.

Great hat for travel. This is very light and easy to fold for travel. The only problem is no strap so you can’t wear it on windy day, otherwise it is a great hat.

Great fit

Long ago I had a waterproof hat that I could crush into my backpack. It was there when I needed it. But I inadvertently left it somewhere. My Ultra Storm Bucket is the same--crushable and oh so waterproof. I've worn it in the rain a few times but it was barely sprinkling. Tomorrow will offer a better chance to experience it in an earnest rain if not downpour. Sprinkled water rolls off immediately. My only question is whether it needs to be washed regularly to maintain water repellence. It's also very comfortable. A few years ago I camped at Yellowstone. Our son and his family met us there. He had a Sunday Afternoons hat, and since I liked it it bought one of my own. I now have two, my wife and granddaughter each have one.

Fits well, looks nice on, can push strap in hat when not needed, nice color. Have not worn in rain yet.

This hat is my favorite, offers sturdy and stylish protection from the elements, I even use it when it is not raining. Make a version of this for warmer months please!

This is probably a good hat for non-surfing activities. For my purposes it was way too floppy and became oddly "inflated" in the water so I kept having to take it off and scrunch out the air. On the plus side, it's easy to adjust for a variety of head sizes (I shared it with my husband whose head is a lot bigger than mine) and it dries quickly.

Awesome hat. Love it , we live in a Rain forest , and I will use this alot ! It is amazing the brim of the hat is such that it doesn’t let rain pour down the back of your neck into the collar or your coat ! Great product, thank you !

Fits perfectly. The grayish neutral color and classic look of the hat goes well with my hoodless beige trench coat I plan to wear with it. It looks well-made and durable. Since it’s waterproof and has a wide brim, I’m reassured my head won’t get wet as long as I tuck my shoulder-length hair in my coat. Would recommend to those who need a hat to go with their hoodless rainwear.

I bought one of these Ultra Storm Bucket hats last year. It is my go-to hat. Waterproof, UPF 50+. Great design. Great for good visual field. The brim is just shy of 3", about 2 and 3/4". I am a 22 1/2" hat size, so Medium is my size and I snug up the internal adjustment feature. I love this hat so much that when Mineral, Khaki, and Shadow were back in stock I bought all three this year!!!!! Mineral is a grayish blue hue; Storm is dark gray. The underbrim of Mineral and Khaki is a dark gray, perfect to handle environmental reflected light. I totally recommend this hat. And, hey, if you want Mineral, it was out of stock a long time, so get it while you can.

I haven't had a chance to try it in rain yet but it seems very well-made and I'm sure it will keep my head dry. It is a little warmer than a non-waterproof hat but still comfortable enough to wear into the 70s. (For anything warmer, I'll be sticking with my more breathable hat.) The size of the brim is perfect - because of the downturn, it still provides a lot of protection without being overly large or floppy, and it's thick enough that it holds up well in wind. My one complaint is that Sunday Afternoons sizing is off. According to their size chart, I should be between a M and L, and the M is a little loose on me. Not a big deal with the adjustable drawstring, and I can wear a lightweight beanie underneath in cold weather, but slightly annoying to not be able to rely on their size chart. Overall, I love this hat, and I really hope they're not discontinuing it.
