Best Straw Sun Hats for Men of 2025

"I was on the hunt for a straw hat that could accommodate my dreadlocks which are quite long. After trying several women's hats without success, I took a chance on this men's L/XL size. So far, it fits my head well and for $20, I think it’s a good deal. However, it does feel a little flimsy, so I hope it holds up through the summer!"

"This Quiksilver hat is a game-changer for me! I used to buy cheap hats while on vacation, but this one is the best I've ever owned. It's lightweight, comfortable, and I love the color. I never thought I’d write a review for a hat, but here I am, completely satisfied!"

"I bought this hat for a friend who spends a lot of time outdoors. While it did provide good sun protection, I was disappointed that it didn’t last the summer. I guess for the price, I shouldn't have expected much durability. Next time, I might opt for a sturdier palm hat instead."

"This hat breathes well, keeps the sun off me, and has become a summer staple. I use the long strap to tighten its grip on my head when it's windy, and it feels comfy and secure."

"I bought this hat for my husband in brown, which is basically light straw dyed. Unfortunately, the very first time he wore it, the straw cracked, revealing light straw underneath. After only three wears, it's wrecked as more pieces keep breaking off. I wouldn't recommend wasting money on it."

"The hat is excellent, but it's a bit too fragile. To prevent the fibers from breaking, I find it necessary to soak it completely every day to keep the weave elastic."

"I've been searching for sun protection for my face, neck, and shoulders, and I found it with this hat! It provides excellent coverage for my nose, cheeks, and lips, unlike other hats I've tried. The tie is sturdy and adjustable, ensuring it stays on. I can even wear my hair up without worrying about 'hat hair.' The quality is impressive for the price."

"As someone who works outdoors in SW Florida, I need a hat that offers shade and comfort. This hat fits perfectly - not too tight, not too loose. It's durable and even tolerates a bit of moisture. However, it isn't very portable; I can't wear it in the car or while carrying a beach chair."

"I absolutely love this hat! It's big and sturdy, providing the sun coverage I need. I have a lot of hair, and it fits well even when I wear it up. The customer service was fantastic too; when my first hat had defects, they quickly sent me a replacement without needing me to return the first one. I highly recommend it!"

"I’ve seen some negative feedback, but this hat is absolutely perfect. The shape is spot on, no dents or flaws. The fit is incredible with an elastic band that hugs my head, preventing it from flying off in the wind. I've bought many hats, and this is by far the best quality surf/lifeguard hat I've ever had. No sponsorship here—just a true fan!"

"Working outside, I've tried multiple straw hats, but this one is a game changer. It's incredibly durable, comfortable, and looks great. I highly recommend it to anyone needing a reliable hat!"

"This hat fits my husband perfectly and is high-quality. So far, it has held up well, and I would definitely recommend it to others looking for a nice straw hat."

"I was looking for a new hat for ocean fishing in Southern California, and for the price, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. It looks well made, and I can't wait to use it!"

"This hat is perfect for my island, boat, and pool days. It's super comfortable and fits great. Some reviews mentioned it might break easily, but I haven't seen any issues so far. At this price, I’d definitely buy another if it did!"

"I ordered this hat and was worried about it arriving damaged based on past reviews. Thankfully, mine arrived in perfect condition. I usually wear a size 7 7/8, and I got the XXL, which fits perfectly and is just what I needed!"

"This hat was perfect for the beach. The comfortable band made it easy to wear all day without any issues. It's well made and lightweight, providing great shade. I'm planning to take it on my fishing boat too. I'll definitely be buying again!"

"I absolutely love the style, fit, and durability of this hat. Plus, it's a great price!"

"I got this hat for outdoor activities, and it offers great coverage. The quality is impressive, making it a perfect choice for anyone who enjoys being in the sun!"

“I just received my hat and it was better than expected, especially for the price. It's not as well made as pricier options, but it's perfect for my teen grandson for work and play. He likes it, which is what matters most. It arrived a bit stuffed and bent, but I managed to straighten it out. The delivery was much quicker than anticipated, earning it a fifth star!”

“I was really excited when my straw hat arrived, but my happiness was short-lived. While I can fix the folds, many strands of straw were already broken. This one is definitely going back.”

“This is my second Brooklyn Surf hat. It’s comfortable and breathable in the heat. I have noticed it tends to crack along seams where the straw bends, but that’s not a major concern for me.”

“I absolutely love this hat! The straw gives off that nostalgic smell from my childhood visits to my Uncle Bob's farm in Nebraska. The drawstring is surprisingly functional, keeping it securely on my head even in the wind. Plus, the weaving allows for a refreshing ocean breeze while blocking 99% of harmful UV rays. The front patch is a modern art piece that sparks the imagination!”

“This hat is one of my favorites for the beach. While the band is a bit larger than I expected, I truly appreciate the wide brim that protects me from sunburn. I also love how I can wear it around my neck, making it easy to carry.”

“I bought this hat to replace my baseball cap for outdoor work. The sun can be brutal, and this sun hat has been a game changer. It keeps me 5-7 degrees cooler, allowing me to work longer and stay comfortable by the pool. I highly recommend it!”

"I’ve bought six of these hats to give as gifts. They’re made very well!"

"I took this hat to Mexico, and it was fantastic for sun protection while looking fun! The adjustable string is a nice touch, and it arrived in great condition!"

"This hat is perfect for hot, sunny days. It fits well and has a string to keep it secure when the wind picks up. I can paddleboard without worrying about it flying off."

“I purchased this hat for my husband, and it does an excellent job of protecting his face from the sun. The size was just right for him.”

“With my fair-skinned husband coaching soccer in Colorado, he used to apply sunscreen multiple times. This hat really saved him! He hardly ever gets burned now, and it’s durable enough for pool use too. I love the idea of adding patches to it!”

“As a woman looking for a fitting hat, I found this one to be just perfect for my smaller head. The quality and shape are fantastic, but it definitely wouldn’t work for my husband’s larger head.”
