Shelta Reviews

  • For someone who usually needs Tall sizes the XL fit perfectly. The attention to detail really shows. I wore for 2 weeks and immediately ordered more
  • I now have five of them
  • This hat fits really well and I like the quality of the build. I will be taking it on a Canadian kayak expedition in May, so then it will get the real test!
  • Bad ass hat.
  • Nice hat
  • So easy to order the correct size. My Condor is exactly what I expected. I love it!
  • Greatest cover ever!! I would however like several more stickers to promote a great product!!
  • This hat rocks – serious shade from my new Condor Shelta hat works great in all conditions and in the wind too!
  • Very happy with this hat. Wind doesn’t touch it, mowing doesn’t touch it. Shelta really delivered on this one. I got the Condor and love it. It was delivered ahead of the original timeframe. It exceeds my expectations. I have had several boonie hats and all of have the same problem. The bill flips up when the breeze kicks up. Not the Condor. Stays put on your head and the brim does also. This is a rather expensive hat but I would buy it again. Thank you Shelta.
  • Shelta hats did a great job with my order. Shipping was prompt and they handled my exchange for size with no issues. Overall a 1st class business who gets it. Oh yeah the hat is great!
  • “SO nice to finally have a full brimmed hat that fits!!
  • High quality fabric, lightweight, and super convenient strap.”
  • I have worn my Shelta hat almost daily since receiving it 2 weeks ago! Damn fine hat! Comfortable, protective, and good looking to boot! So far it’s been in the water and on the trail, in the sun, rain, heat, and cold (typical TX spring weather). Zero complaints! Great hat!!!
  • Perfect hat!
  • I have three of these Shelta hats because I’m a bald guy. They hold up well while we are sailing in the Caribbean and stay on my head in the high winds. I highly recommend buying one!
  • Fully satisfies my requirements to maintain full visibility and stay on my head even at high speeds.
  • Fits great. Sensitive to the sun, this covers my up comfortably and looks great. Mahalos!
  • You get what you pay for, and in this case you are paying for the best hat Ive used. Lightweight, cool, great material, no flip brim, removable chin strap. And sizes to fit a large head.
  • I love my new hat, I got it for fishing and boating. It does exactly as advertised. My old boonie hat brim would alternately flip up for no sun protection and then down to block my view while driving the boat. The Shelta stays put. I will probably buy a second one soon, so I can leave one on the boat.
  • Great!
  • Dermatologist said where better hat to cover your head and face. This is best I have found.
  • Quality cap from Shelta like all their caps/hats. Well constructed and fits great. Wish there were more colors of the V2 Tech cap
  • The Land Hawk is my 3rd Shelta. I wanted the ventilated fabric. Love the brim and the shad
  • I just bought my third hat. Two Condors (lost one) I replaced it with a land hawk.. Great hats for fishing, boating or just chilling. The no flop is key when cruising to fishing grounds or windy days. The lightweight material provides excellent sun protection for my XXL melon. I would highly recommend.
  • This is my second purchase of the Shelta hats and I highly recommend them! I have had Melanoma in 3 different locations on my head and neck. The Shelta hat, especially the Condor, provides an excellent sun shield for my face and neck! I am also a member of a national dune buggy club and an avid boater. I have worn other hats while both boating and driving our Dune buggies, and they always flop down in my face in the wind. The Shelta No-Flop, wide brimmed, spf sun-blocked hat was the answer for all my issues!
  • Does not flop on wind on the boat. Shades sun well
  • Great quality, function, pricing & service. Prompt delivery.
  • I was worried about the sizing because my melon is on the large side, so I followed the size guide and it was absolute money (XXL). I love my Land hawk (camo), and I will be buying another style soon! Being able to really dial in the fit is beautiful. I’m tired of screwing around with less-than hats, this is worth every penny.
  • Received my wife’s hat last week, we were using them over the weekend in Parker AZ on the Colorado River, worked awesome for both of us, in my Ski boat, running around 60mph and NO FLOP!
  • Great fitting hats ! Just purchased my second one
  • This is my second Shelta hat. Never thought I would buy a hat costing this much, Never mind two. But this hat is the best if you like boonies but have to deal with stiff winds like here in Oklahoma. Top quality products.
  • Comfortable, stays on in wind. Cool in hot weather. I wish the front portion of the side brims would meet with the front brim without a hard line, I can’t seem to mold that out. Otherwise very satisfied despite the price.
  • “As a melanoma patient I have to keep the sun off me as much as possible, but don’t want to stop doing my thing ie , biking, fishing , riding my scooter ( motorcycle doesn’t fit on RV )
  • This hat stays in place in heavy winds.
  • I bought the sea hawk first , I now use it at work on merchant ships. Bought another one for home . Just got a Condor I haven’t got to wear it much yet , but I think I might like it better.
  • Planning on buying a couple more – maybe a dark grey one , to change it up a little.”
  • By far my favorite hat. Durable, light weight and very comfortable. My wife says I look good in this hat. I now own three Ospreys.
  • I purchased one for the beach and loved it so much I bought two more to give as a practical gift!
  • Awesome
  • The brim is like a baseball hat only extra protection from sun. I’ve had boony hats before but this is on a whole new level. If you spend a lot of time outside and usually wear baseball caps, you are going to love this hat. and about the price too. Once you get it you won’t regret it. 5 stars all the way.
  • Recently my luggage was lost coming back from a vacation and I had one of your hats inside. So I’m just now replacing what I lost. This will be the 4th hat I’ve purchased. I love the way they feel and the “No flop” brim. I will continue to be a customer.
  • “After much consideration, I decided to cough up the hefty price tag for a hat and bought one prior to a big fishing trip with my kids at Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas. I’m glad I did! We experienced high winds all
  • during the day and this hat worked like a champ. It stayed fitted and rigid the entire time. My old Boone hat would have been all over the place … literally.”
  • As advertised. Hopefully the fit will be fine but I was borderline between two sizes so I went with the larger size. It seems a little loose but I tightened it up quite a bit with the adjusting drawstring so we will see how it pans out. Other that it looks to be a great hat that’s well constructed.
  • Finally found a bonnie cap that doesn’t fly apart when the wind hits it. The brim of this cap stays in place even when your running the boat at full throttle. Super comfy, keeps your head cool and the bugs off your head. Love this cap and will be ordering one for my wife.
  • As a Swamp Tour Captain, I demand performance. I’ve been wearing the Condor Shelta’s and I find the Firebird V2 to be lighter and cooler !!! Sun protection is excellent (big brim) and the 5 panel cap is light and feels cooler than my old hats. Not quite sure what to put into the forehead pocket…?? But it’s there if I need it !! The lighter-colored under brim is also less distracting !! Shelta’s cost more….and work Better !! Enjoy & Cheers, Captain Caviar
  • Was totally impressed the hard rim was solid and a cool looking hat . Must have for jet skiing
  • Comfortable, effective, well-designed.
  • Best hat yet!
  • been looking for a hat for a long time–have had skin cancer twice-need a good sun hat –but the bill always flops when wearing them, until now! hat is perfect for yard work etc. I am so glad I found this company!
  • Love this hat! Good sun blocker and stays on even in the wind
  • “I wore this hat for two days straight this past weekend photographing an outdoor horse show. On Saturday, it poured down rain and instead of my previous boonie hat getting soaked and hanging down in my face, this one held up in the front to keep the rain out of my face. Likewise, on Sunday, it was hot and sunny – this hat kept my head, face, and neck protected from the all day sun without getting sweaty and drooping down into my face.
  • Also, thanks for making an XXL size and realizing that “”one size”” does NOT fit all!”
  • I’m on a tropical island and using my hat even when playing on the waves and no burn! Great hat!
  • Terrific shirt, excellent quality, true to size. Wears well.
  • Without a doubt, these are the best sun protection hats available. Just had my annual dermatological review and have no signs of damage on my neck or face or head. I enjoy wearing wearing these hats. I spend a lot of time outdoors in the sun and during the summer in the pool, thank you very much
  • I’ve been looking for a great hat to deal with the high altitude sun in Lake Tahoe. This hat stays put, dries quickly and keeps my face shaded. I highly recommend it.
  • I own several Shelta hats. Was glad to see this wider brim, so snagged one for my next fishing trip.
  • Love that I can drive Jeep and golf cart without looking like Gillian . Anyone who loves these type hat knows that frustration. Great build and materials. Will buy another
  • The xxxl hat fits my head perfectly with the cinch cord makes it super perfect. I’m sure Ill be getting another one for sure. My only wish is that all the models had xxxl size. Not really a complaint, but I would like another color say a navy, maroon, or maybe a fishing pattern.
  • “Stays on!
  • Proportioned for a smaller head & face.
  • Love the off white color.”
  • The fixed brim is exactly what we were looking for!
  • Glad I ordered this hat, the no flop brim is Great!!
  • Great hats. First few lasted years till my dogs decided to use them as a snack! Ordered two new ones and they showed up fast with same great qualities!!
  • Purchased my first one last Summer. Used it every day! Decided I needed a second hat so I could take time out to wash them now and again.
  • Excellent sun protection, the brim does not flop, and it stays on in wind. The only way it could be better is if it was made in the US. Work on that.
  • Really like this hat. Great sun protection & the stiff bill helps with visibility. The only improvement I can see is larger venting for a cooler experience. Other than that, it’s a keeper.
  • “First of all they make hats that fit my big head.
  • This hat simply makes me happy.
  • Good quality great customer service. I’ll buying another one soon.”
  • The Shelta cover is exceptional in quality and design. The bonnie design is exactly what I expected, yet the thinness of the material was not expected.
  • Its sporty, I like the shorter brim. This is my second hat. Awesome quality, love the tech built into it!
  • Loved it!
  • outstanding fit and feel.
  • Fits great, looks good and works as well. Thanks for finally delivering a hat that isn’t one size fits all or most, because they don’t.
  • Use it for kayaking and other hats I used, while good, flipped when moving at speed or had a head wind. Not anymore, it stays put and keeps the sun out of my eyes. Wish I had bought it sooner.
  • Perfect hat for sun protection while fishing on the open
  • Great hat! Well made, quality materials.
  • Works really well, just used it in Montana fishing. No complaints.
  • The fit, quality, and service were excellent.
  • The hat is for my wife , she loves it because of the fit and quality. Now she thinks she is going to out fish me !!
  • I just got my hat. It feels comfortable, stays cool and looks pretty good. I can tell the air flow is great and I love the shaped visor. I am glad I found it!
  • Really enjoy the Shelta Landmark hat. Lightweight and comfortable. Great for all my outdoor activities, including Pickleball!
  • I have tried many different styles of Bonnie hats in the past, but Shelia puts them all to shame. The rigid brim really makes a difference in the wind and I have not felt the hat would blow off my head. Highly recommend, its worth the money.
  • Great hat I got an large – xl it was a little big for me must use rear tightening cord
  • A must for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors in the elements.
  • Love the hat, use for biking and surf kayaking in the hot FL sun. My only complainant, kill the front store pocket to add more ventilation on that front brim.
  • It is perfect and holds up to the wind.
  • My new Shelta hat arrived right on time, and is an awesome addition to my outdoor gear. It came in a protective box and fit perfectly. The brim is outstanding and does not move during bike rides or kayak trips on windy waters. They are worth the extra money as I am going to wear this hat for a very long time.
  • Great product as promised.
  • Purchased 2 , both fit perfectly, going to beach on a very windy day, hat stayed on. Didn’t even need to you the tie string
  • The Firebird V2 brim was to wide for me but liked the has. I sent back for exchange to Raptor V2 because it has narrower brim. All else is great.
  • Recently had some skin cancer issues. Had a trip to Florida planned that I didn’t want to cancel. These. These products allowed me to enjoy family and friends on the beach and in the water¦ No Sunburn (along with sunscreen). Felt very protected!!
  • “Great hat for water or beach kept the bald spot stylishly covered while the Yeti kept the beer cold. A couple of frat bro’s even asked about the hat should market as a stylish beach party hat that keeps the party going while the ladies check you out.
  • Signed, Old Married Beach Guy”
  • Very well made, love it!
  • Awesome hat. The solid brim is a game changer.
  • I bought 2 of these hats. They were just a little bit snug so I sent them back for the larger size. Waiting on them to come in. Return was super easy!
  • I own or have owned over 50 hats…and have finally found the one that is perfect for me. Fit, function, and “the look” are exactly right.
  • “In the hunt for the perfect golf hat, the Land hawk is my new favorite. At 68, I’ve hit the age where the dermatologists start taking little bits of me every spring. This year it was the tip of my nose, so the devotion to an effective sun blocking hat has become a necessity .
  • Enter the Land hawk.
  • The stiff brim keeps my forward and upward view unobstructed, while the soft sides and back cover my ears and neck without restricting movement. The floppy all around or stiff all around hats have their obvious disadvantages and the traditional golf cap is no longer enough protection. Real happy with the Land hawk.”
  • Well designed, numerous good features. Brim stays in place at 45 mph (PWC). Only my first season so can’t comment on durability. Would buy again.
  • “This review is for the Shelta Seahawk Performance hat, and let me tell you, it’s a winner! I loved my first one so much, I just had to get a second (different colored) one.
  • Durable and Easy to Clean
  • My original hat is a testament to the Seahawk’s durability. I accidentally wore it while staining the fence and got it covered in red stain. Even though it’s not exactly the look I’m going for anymore, it held up great and now I just use it for yard work.
  • Perfect for Outdoor Activities
  • The Seahawk is fantastic for any outdoor adventure. At the beach, the adjustable headband kept the hat securely on my head, even without using the chin strap (which is a nice option to have when needed).
  • Comfortable and Breathable
  • The hat is surprisingly cool and comfortable to wear. The vents and moisture-wicking headband do a great job keeping your head from getting sweaty.
  • Hidden Stash Pocket
  • One of my favorite features is the hidden pocket inside the crown. It’s perfect for stashing cash, a room key, or anything else you want to keep close by but secure on the beach or anywhere else.
  • Highly Recommend
  • I’m already packing my Seahawk for my upcoming Alaskan adventures! This hat is truly versatile and perfect for any outdoor activity.”
  • Awesome product…so glad to have a firm brimmed floppy hat
  • I bought this for my husbands birthday. He would not use the sunscreen while working outside but he loves his new hat. I just wanted him to be safe and protected from too much sun exposure. He said that its 10 degrees cooler when he has it on and has told me how much he loves it several times.
  • I fished in high wind and some rain all week. It kept my glasses dry and didn’t flop around like the others that I’ve worn.
  • Great hats have two different models one for running and one for the beach and boat.
  • Very good quality and easily adjustable for a perfect fit. It’s a little on the pricey side compared to the average bucket hat, but it’s not the average bucket hat.
  • Fits like a glove and forget I am even wearing it. Love the multiple ways to use the chin strap and the hidden pouch. Floats as advertised. Would buy again.
  • If you are out in the sun doing whatever it is you need to do , this is the hat for your
  • Fits great after got the right size. Will see how it works at the beach soon.
  • It fits my gigantic dome, it is well made stays on in high winds, does not flop, is lightweight and keeps the sun out. What’s not to love!
  • Exactly the hat I have been looking for
  • Awesome product, light weight and thin but sturdy. Will be buying from Shelta again. I need some of the long sleeve shirts here in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona.
  • Awesome hat
  • I kitesurf, and this hat (and the brim) held up against wind over 30mph; I am super impressed. It’s breathable, lightweight and adjustable. Highly recommend it for wind/ water sports. The small size fits me perfectly.
  • After being diagnosed with several basal cell carcinoma spots on my face from years of wearing golf hats, I was looking for something with more coverage. I found the Shelta Land hawk and I love it! It provides really good coverage from the sun with the fixed front brim. It also can be soaked to keep me cool in the heat in the southeastern summer days. I highly recommend it.
  • I love how comfortable this is and how well it stays on my head as I am on the go.
  • My husband loves his new Shelta hat! Great fit, great color. Perfect protection while fishing and boating.
  • I just did a 120 mile wave runner ride to the Hoover dam. I wanted to try out my new shirt. It is simple the best water shirt ever. The material is light and cooling. The pocket holds my ChapStick so easily. The sleeves have hand covers on them so my hands are not sunburned after today. This shirt and my Condor Shelta hat protected me so much from the sun. I’m glad I bought 2.
  • I loved my first hat so much that I bought another one
  • I bought this one for my son so he stop wearing mine all the time!:-). Outstanding quality, they float. Great coverage! Don’t waste your money on the other brands¦ get this hat and you’ll never buy another brand! Nice and light; perfect for boating or hanging in the pool!
  • Love this hat, I’ve got 4 of them, Running, Fishing, hunting, or just doing lawn work. best hat ever.
  • I searched a lot of different brands, quality was the first thing I wanted and I got it in this performance sun hat. I enjoy the lengthy brim and perforated cap. I’m in 90+ degree weather as a car salesperson. I influenced two of my coworkers so far to get some. Heavily recommend this for people who understand protection from the sun is necessary.
  • PRTFECT !!!!!
  • I use it to play tennis in the Florida sun. Well made hat. Lightweight. Love the stiff brim which doesn’t block my vision when it is windy. Happy with this purchase.
  • “I love the fit and coverage. The brim is superior to anything else, including a regular ball cap.
  • I just bought a 2nd. One for running that will get sweaty and salty.”
  • Such a comfortable and well made hat. Keeps my bald head out of the sun and looks good doing it
  • Love that my Osprey fits well, has a firm brim and smaller side brim!!!! I am excited to use it on the trails and out in the wild of Colorado!!!!!
  • Great hat, protects my ears and it does get floppy when its wet.
  • So glad I no longer have a floppy brim smacking me in the face or creating a sail on top of my head with my old sun hat. This brim isn’t going anywhere while paddle boarding, or any activity. Love the orange for visibility and safety. I wish I could see how the M feels compared to the small. It’s pretty snug but not super annoying. I also wish I would have purchased a style with a wider brim for more shade. I didn’t want the issues with my old hat (hitting me in the face) but this hat is so solid I believe the wider brim would be great for paddle boarding. It is also extremely light and airy, despite being a bit snug for me. Awesome product!
  • Great hat!
  • “Awesome Hat, Fits like a glove , extremely comfortable and keeps my head cool and protected from the sun
  • Buy one, you’ll love it.. Best hat I’ve purchased in a long time****
  • The Osprey gives perfect coverage and looks cool, too!
  • This hat fits great and works just as described for me as I’m standing in the sun during the day and driving a golf cart in the heat of south Florida. Works great and doesn’t flip up like many of my hats do.
  • Its well made and does what it is advertised to do, plus I like it (^_^)
  • Won’t lie—the fixed brim looks & feels odd at first. But with actual use, the brim functions just like a trusted ball cap or cowboy hat, shielding and blocking the sun and making it a lot easier to see on bright, sunny days with high contrast. The hat is definitely light-weight and the sewing is first-rate. It creates better than a cap or hat, and as good or better than other outdoor hats I’ve tried. ABSOLUTELY better than a canvas bucket hat and lots more durable than straw. I especially like that it folds easily for efficient packing. I’ll take their word that it floats, but the nifty, removable draw-cord should prevent that from happening. Adjusts easily to custom fit, as I discovered. Seems easy to clean. New go-to favorite! Would love it even more if there were tabs on the brim to secure sun-glasses.
  • At first trying it on, I thought the hat would be hot and uncomfortable to wear for long periods, but I was wrong. I wear bucket style hats when boating. This one just let’s the wind blow right through like I wasn’t wearing a hat at all! I was amazed at how cool and comfortable it felt. It stayed on without the strap at speeds up to around 30mph as well. I also like that the front comes out further than my other hat giving more protection on my face where I need it most. I am very pleased with it overall.
  • “Not a lot of hats come in these sizes. I’ve loved this hat so far, I bought it for my yard work, but haven’t had a chance to use it for that. I ended up bringing it to New York for a vacation all neck/face parts covered successfully, no sunburn!
  • Price is a little high for a hat, but you definitely get what you pay for. Id buy another one if I need one.”
  • This is a very comfortable hat. I really like the sun protection, light weight, and how it doesn’t get all gross feeling when it gets sweaty. My only complaint is that the pockets on the front of the crown seem pretty useless. Overall this is a great hat and definitely one of my favorites.
  • I like Boonie hats when fishing to keep the sun off my ears., but its hard to find them that fit right. This one fits perfect.
  • Light weight, provides sun protection that I need. I bought 3. Will most likely by more.
  • I use it specifically for outrigger canoe paddling. Works great in all conditions!
  • Well I got my hat a few days ago, the fit is really good. The first day I wore it, it was a little windy, but the hat stayed on with no issues.
  • Spend a lot of time outdoors whether hiking canoeing or camping this hat is a must have. Looking forward to years of wearing this hat.
  • “I bought my original Seahawk back in 2019. Shelta was a little company with an awesome product. I had an issue with my first hat and Shelta was amazing. Great customer service. Received a replacement that has been my absolute go to for the last 5 years. Camping. Jet skiing. Boating. Canoeing. Walking. This hat does it all and does it incredibly well.
  • Simple cleaning with dawn soap in a sink followed by air drying is all that’s needed to keep it looking new.
  • I have since purchased other Shelta hats for family members as gifts and never heard a single complaint.
  • I spent years with the scouts and venture crews. Wore my Seahawk on every camping trip from Sea base to Philmont to Northern tier. Fresh and salt water, with simple care the hat still looks great.
  • Are they expensive compared to Walmart sun hats or Rothko boonies? Yes. Are they worth it? Absolutely yes. Buy once. No need to replace.
  • Quality through and through.
  • Highly recommend and I do not believe you will be disappointed with a Shelta.”
  • I’ve been looking for a hat that holds the brim and will float when on the water.
  • My new hat fits perfectly! Went kayaking yesterday. I was very impressed by the quick turnaround of the exchange of my first (too small) hat and the way your system gives me the simple way to ship it back and reorder the correct size. Thanks.
  • Love how it keeps the ears and face protected and doesn’t feel like its in the way. Awesome
  • I love these hats! This is the second one that I have purchased. Will definitely be a returning customer!
  • Yes, finally a hat I love !!! Old man with a big head thanks you
  • Awesome hats for outdoor activities. With stands machine wash on regular basis. No complaints, various options to meet ones needs.
  • Love the hat love the bendable modellable brim – accidently ordered wrong size so waiting on exchange so if that process goes smoothly – 5 stars all the way around
  • The Land hawk is the second Shelta hat I have purchased. I wanted a wide brim hat that I could use for easy walking in hot and humid conditions. As we have had extremely hot and humid weather, this was a good time to test the performance of this hat. I can say that the hat performed quite well. It protected my head and face from the sun, kept the heat off of my head, and allowed me to perspire naturally.
  • Comfortable stays on while riding jet ski at 5 0 mph and does not flop . Great hat would highly recommend
  • I’ve my new Shelta hat!!
  • Quality product!
  • I was a little unsure about ordering this hat since not many women have left reviews. After receiving my Osprey in a size small I was thrilled at the way it looked and fit. It stays on my head while I am driving our boat and truly does not flop! I will be ordering another one once they have more color selections available in August/September. I am also going to recommend this to some of my women friends who would really love this style hat.
  • Very very comfy. The day I received it, the family went on a windy boat ride. Did not fall off despite 17 mph winds and going 25-30 knots most of the way. This is really better than just going to the store and getting some random hat for half the price. Only complaint is that I don’t look like to cool dudes in the pictures. I know… I know… Shelta can’t do everything for me.
  • The Shelta )Osprey is great for boating and/or windy conditions. They stay on your head and do not flop around. We have bought 4 of these hats and referred to friends.
  • Best hat ever. This is my second one. Operator error during the Newport To Bermuda race. I came up on deck wo the cord under my chin and it went to King Neptune. Someone will love it bc it floats great and will definitely be traveling the world. I had it for over 3 years and never a complaint. I have the Osprey too.
  • Great fit, works great in the wind when driving a boat your view doesn’t get blocked by the rim. The vents should be all around the hat.
  • Worked very well in Atlantic surf.
  • “Spent the weekend boating and enjoying the water. The brim held up at 40 mph cruising and provided shade for my face while lounging in the water.
  • Highly recommended.”
  • Size and fit are perfect, quality great, and visor makes the hat work amazing. This hat is worth the price and my money was well spent. Thanks for the great value
  • So happy with this new hat. It fits great and the uv protection is fantastic! Quick delivery too and great response to pre order questions from the customer service team! Worth every penny! Super pleased!
  • Best of the best all around
  • “In my search for the best possible boonie hat for my fly fishing excursions, I tried many different brands in numerous types of materials. Most seemed too thick, not allowing moisture to properly wick & evaporate; or, they were too thin, not providing adequate sun protection and didn’t last very long; some simply didn’t fit right altogether; and the brims on all of them were always flopping and sagging in my eyes while in the wind and rain.
  • Eventually, my research led me to Shelta, who I had heard about before, but was always kind of skeptical about spending $75 on a hat. I wish I had splurged on one initially and saved all that time and frustration. I can honestly say that this is, unquestionably, the Perfect Hat for anyone who does anything outdoors .So, basically everybody! The fit is pretty much custom. The front of the brim has a firm yet shapable plastic bill sewn into the fabric that can be massaged to get the look you want, but will not flop or sag in the wind or rain. There are other features I love too, like the removable lanyard, the lanyard clip & loop, the inner mesh & pocket, and the cinch strap which I first used just last weekend on a wave runner The hat stayed put. Although, if it would have blown off, no worries because these hats float. They are made out of a top-of-the-line, super soft, sweat wicking, breathable, +50 SPF sun protecting material of some sort Quite magical. They also make several different styles and have multiple colors to choose from. I now own two Shelta Seahawk models (one in S.B Camo and another in Storm Gray), and I wear them not only to fly fish, but for all of my outdoor adventures (swimming, gardening, hiking, camping,, etc.). I have since ordered two more for my sons (both Seahawks in Blaze Orange & Light Silver). The company seems to be comprised of good folks as well. They have a solid warranty and their customer service team is very responsive and helpful. If you re on the fence about spending $75 on a hat, I can assure you that its certainly worth the investment.”
  • Great hat works well on boats as described.
  • Great fit and great quality.
  • Now that I’ve had it a few months, I love it. Like everyone I wear ball cap styles but they offer no ear, or neck protection. I’ve gone through multiple bucket/outdoors hats. Too floppy, peels up in the wind, especially on the boat which is where I wear them most. This hat works as advertised, it stays put in the wind with the neck strap and is infinitely adjustable. I’ve spent more than the cost of this hat by buying multiple other cheaper hats that proved unsatisfactory. My sizing advice if your on the upper end of a size, go with the next size up.
  • Very comfortable and well built! I have a very large head and have a hard time finding quality larger hats. These fit great and are super comfortable and the design is awesome! Love this product!
  • Cant beat these hats!
  • This hat is awesome for any activity on our of the water. I love the hard bill no flop design
  • “Absolutely the best sun hat going! I’ve tried many and Shelta wins, hands down. Ordered a second identical Land Hawk so I have a yard work hat and a not nasty version for the lake/fishing/anything not grass stained! The Mrs. wanted one too this time.
  • Very comfortable, you’ll forget it’s on. Stays cool, vents well. Absolutely manages perspiration perfectly (none makes it to your eyes). Will stay on at 35-40 mph easily on my side by side with no windshield. I’m a cancer survivor, caner sucks. Protect yourself.”
  • I bought the Seahawk in Jan 2023 to go on a cruise with in April. It was nice being on the deck of the ship with a strong breeze and the brim of the hat keeping my face shaded. I noticed others with other brands of hats and the brim was either folded down in their face or flipped up with the sun in their eyes. The Seahawk did its job perfectly. However when wearing it working in the yard with no breeze it got a bit too hot in the summer. So I ordered the Land Hawk! It is similarly built but with more air flow and lighter weight material. Works great These are my go to hats for being outside.
  • “What drew me to Shelta Hats was the ball cap style no-flop brim.
  • I’ve avoided boogie style hats in the past because the brim always sagged blocking my vision. This design makes all the difference.
  • I bought the Firebird V2, to wear on a 230 km 5-Day Self Supported Ultra Marathon in Kenya.
  • I know … Right.
  • So far I love it. I’ve been wearing it on my training runs/ hikes. Yesterday was a 4-hr run/hike at 1400 in 92 degree heat & full sun exposure the entire time.
  • The hat fits true to size.”
  • Highly recommended
  • finally a company that makes a big hat
  • I do a lot of ocean fishing and this is the perfect hat for that. Keeps the sun out and looks great doing it.
  • I have three. I moved up as your brim width increased currently mostly wearing the Condor. My wife wears the other two. While I like my palm leaf cowboy big brimmed hats they do not travel in a bag , they are heavier, and they are hotter. I wear Shelta hats year round in Texas climate. We are on the water , in the water , and in the wind often. If you make a wider 3.5 inch brim I will buy number 4. The no flop front makes all the difference on these style of hats.
  • Over the years have owned many hats (several Shelta hats), theses ball caps are designed to fit your head. Extremely comfortable, fits your head and has a great look. Would totally recommend product
  • “Lost my first Seahawk during a fall while wading.
  • Liked the hat so much, had to order a replacement right away. Great sun protection while fly fishing and love the no flop brim.”
  • Love this hat. Top quality
  • The hat is light weight and airy and one does not sweat!
  • Great hat!
  • “Perfect size, color and construction.
  • Love the “”front porch”” look.”
  • Everything about this hat is perfect !
  • 9 out of ten stars. it should come with a neck protector for free.
  • simply love this hat. perfect fit and stays on your head on windy days and no brim flapping
  • I really haven’t had a chance to where the hat ibn the sun. It has been overcast since receiving the hat. But it wears good inside.
  • This is my second V2 cap. The main reason I like Shelia hats is for the sun protection. This particular cap is by far the most comfortable hat I own. The only reason I only have 2 is the color selection. I wouldn’t mind seeing some different colors besides black, white and gray. I do have another Shelia cap, that’s a different model that comes in a nice brown. I like the color, but its not as comfortable as this one.
  • Great hat for golfing
  • “This hat is functional for protecting you from the sun, durable, light weight, and looks good.
  • Also a good hat to travel with, packs flat in the suitcase.”
  • I just purchased a Land Hawk Shelta for my husband. I read that you aren’t to fold or crease the brim. However, I don’t see any instructions on how to prepare the hat for travel. This site is loaded with tons of excellent information. I suggest a short demo on how to roll/fold. I’m excited to provide him with a quality hat to protect him as much as possible from another skin cancer diagnosis.
  • I bought this for fishing on my flats skiff. The brim on similar style hats always flopped up or down in my face when the boat was up to speed. The Shelta works as advertised! I actually forgot I was wearing a wide brimmed hat. It feels like a ball cap but offers all the sun protection of a wide brimmed sun hat. I hope it isn’t too hot for Florida summers. I haven’t had a chance to test that yet.
  • I liked it so well I ordered another.
  • Very airy and tons of protection. I think its a very well thought out design, especially with the pocket in the back and the way the hands are protected when you go through the thumb and finger loop to keep the back of your hands from getting burned.
  • Bought one for me and one for my wife. In Texas it is good to have a sun block
  • Its a relatively expensive hat, but well worth it. Its especially good in windy conditions. My first one lasted several years of everyday use.
  • I THINK THE SHELTA HAT IS ONE OF THE BEST AVAILABLE TO HELP PROTECT YOU FROM THE SUN AND WEATHER. THEY ARE EXPENSIVE BUT THEY HOLD UP BETTER THAN MOST HATS AND I FIND EASY TO KEEP CLEAN,
  • Fits like a glove, slick cool design. Thrilled overall
  • After experimenting with many styles, this is the one! The brim sold it. Great style that wears like a cap. Summer will see lots of water use. When camo is back in stock, I’ll be back.
  • Great hat. Keeps sun of while keeping its shape.
  • I like the various options, mine is doing great though! I wear it to the soccer fields. Got it for a birthday gift, my old kind of this hat (different brand) was floppy in the front, this is more like a ball cap and I dig it.
  • Best sunhat out there.
  • Fits great keeps the cold off the ears. Hats still fit.
  • Works as advertised. Keeps ears warm in windy, cooler weather so sun hats can be worn year round. Also works with baseball style hats.
  • I farm and raise cattle so I am outside most of the day. Right now, it’s only below freezing in the mornings and evenings. I wear the Skull Beanie under my regular hat to keep my ears warm until it warms up or I get into a tractor cab. It’s small enough to easily put in a pocket when I don’t need it. I’ve used it a few times and it seems to be made well out of quality materials.
  • I live in PA and had a trap shoot event last Sunday. Wore my new skully with my Shelta hat and it kept my ears nice a warm on a very cold day!
  • I LOVE the hat, I have a big head and the hat fit perfectly! I purchased the hat to cover my bald noggin while driving around in my Slingshot….the hat never blew off and stayed in place even while driving on the freeway. Thanks Shelta for providing a quality product.
  • Hat works exactly as advertised. I used during very windy days for golf and bicycle riding. Feels like a baseball cap but I still have the much needed sun protection from the full brim.
  • This is the best hat you can have for kitesurfing. The no flop brim means you can always see perfectly unlike normal hats that flop into your face . Very happy. Bought one for myself and my partner !
  • Only had it a week but can already tell that its the best hat I’ve owned. Worth the money if you want a hat that keeps the sun off your head and wont flop in your face.
  • My husband loves his Shelta hats. First one was a gift and I bought 2 more since then in different colors.
  • Great hat. Love the boonie shape & practical brim. Excellent for outdoor activities.
  • This is my second hat ant this one is performing even better than expected. We are in our rainy season now and the hat performs great
  • I’ve been a huge fan of Shelta and purchased several hats. The one hat I’ve literally begged Shelta for is a light to mid blue camo version (something that has color variation, hiding stains, yet doesn’t really look military). While this model is darker and not the continents camo in their other camo pattern hats, it’s a fantastic color and pattern. Floppy brim hats drive me nuts on the water and even more so playing golf. These hats solve that problem, are light weight, cool, and provide really good sun protection
  • The hat is comfortable, looks good, and stays on regardless of the wind conditions.
  • I I’ve tried them all and there is nothing better than the Condor by Shelta. There simply isn’t a better sun hat. Its light, doesn’t have the dumb stash pocket or the dumb metal eyelets, floats, maintains shape, has excellent coverage and a chin strap that can be used, tucked up in the hat. or tethered back to the loop. My only complaint is I wish it came in more camo patterns. I use this thing for 3 of 4 seasons. I don’t know anything about the company but they make a superior product and that’s all that matters. Please make more camo patterns for the condor and keep up the excellent work.
  • This is my second hat from Shelta. Bought this one to take to Africa with me on my hunting safari.
  • I purchased one of your hats for a trip to Hawaii end of February also I will use it for fishing which I do all summer. Cant wait.
  • This is my third Shelta hat purchase. I have two SeaHawks and a ball cap. The Seahawks are my “on the water” and work hats, while the ball cap is for golfing. These hats are so well thought out and functional, as well as being high quality in every respect, that I can’t see buying anything else going forward. Thanks a million for providing such great products.
  • A great hat for flats fishing. Here is my Condor in 50 mph of wind.
  • My husband loved it
  • Shelta has the best hats in the business. Love my Seahawk Shelta hat. Awesome company and super fast shipping. Trust me you will love this hat.
  • Not my fist will not be my last. They fit my 7 3/4 head perfectly.
  • Your hat is the best hat I have ever worn for sun protection, windy days and breath ability. Thank you!
  • Im on the river guiding 150+ days a year. The Seahawk V2 is perfect for hot, summer days. I currently have 2, and have been keeping one as a spare, should one of my clients forget a hat. The brim is wide enough to shield my ears (and face for most of the day) from the blazing sun we get here down south. Its breathable, so I don’t have constant sweat dripping down my face. My sunglasses fit perfectly under the ridged brim. Great product!
  • Awesome hat Had this hat for a month very good quality very good in the rain and keep you shaded in the sun super quality 10 out of 10 love my new hat
  • Teaching tennis and pickleball 7 days a week. Nice to cover the face. Second one wore the last one out
  • love this hat!
  • I bought this hat to stay on the bass boat at all times. The comfort and the light weight of the hat makes it wear more like a baseball cap. I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase and would recommend any outdoors person to purchase one for sun protection and comfort.
  • “First … the purchase experience was great. Fast delivery with no problems!!
  • Secondly … the Seahawk is a great boonie type sun hat !! High quality construction and the winged vision visor works perfect ( no flapping here! )
  • Spend a sunny weekend along the coast of Louisiana in my bay boat with no concerns about sun on my ears or head. Cruising 40 MPH from trout hole to trout hole with hat staying nicely on head and no bill flapping or slapping your face and sunglasses in the wind!!
  • The hat is a little pricey but definitely constructed better than any other performance quality boonie I’ve ever owned which includes most of those out there!
  • Did I mention very cool ventilation for the head also?
  • 5 star review for sure .. Can’t go wrong with a SHELTA !!
  • I’m sure going to try me a Griffin next .. waiting for desert camo color !!”
  • Finally a hat that can do it, especially in the wind. Even got my wife to wear a hat out on the water, boat and beach, which is unheard of. Never saw that coming. Outstanding customer service!!! Could not be happier for shade and sun protection in all of my activities
  • Recently went fishing on the Chesapeake Bay on a windy hot sunny day. This hat kept the sun and salt water spray off my ears, neck and face all day. I did not blow off or back at 35 mph. I’ve had several boating hats over the years and this one beats them all!! Highly recommend!!
  • Living in Seattle, the sun we see only a few months a year can be deceiving. The amount of time I spend on my kayak chasing down fish involves quite a bit of sun exposure. I have been using the Osprey hat for a full season and I’m blown away at it’s performance. It’s light weight, covers my ears and sensitive areas of my face and I forget that I’m wearing it. The best part is that it breaths and doesn’t show a sweat ring – like all my baseball hats do. Great product!
  • “It’s just a hat right? Wrong! It’s the perfect hat! I signed up for a 20 mile walk and knew I was going to need something to keep my head cool from the intense heat and the SEAHAWK came through! The light, breathable and stylish lid helped me accomplish my goal! 20 miles in 7 hours!
  • Let’s face it, gear or equipment failure is the last thing someone should worry about. I’m so glad I made the right choice and went with this hat!”
  • Simply a fantastic hat! Sure it’s a little pricey, but every shortcoming your traditional boonie has seems to be addressed with the Seahawk! I think the best thing Shelta achieved is a hat that keeps its shape while still being so lightweight.
  • “I used a Seahawk hat for nearly a year. Used it doing landscape photography, dog walks, and competing in the Brisbane to Gladstone yacht race and back.
  • Over ten days it stayed on and unlopped in 35+ knots and HUGE rainstorms. Brim didn’t flip once!
  • I love this hat.
  • Sadly I lost it in Hawaii – not from my head, but from my pocket. (Getting off a bus.)
  • I miss it and my bonnie replacement is woefully inadequate!
  • Just about to order another one, but I’ll keep it on my head this time!”
  • just got your osprey hat, I do a lot of water sports, sailing, paddle boarding, best hat I’ve ever had.
  • These are the best hats if you spend time out in the sun, wind, and rain. No more floppy brims in your face. The side and back brim keeps the sun off and the front part of the hat has an extended brim that is ‘solid’ and will not flop in your view if it gets wet or sweaty. The best hat of its kind I have ever owned (bought me a second one just to have a backup). I prefer the silver colored one than the camo one as the camo style is a bit more green and brown than the black and grey I thought it would be based on the image on the screen
  • Wear it at the Jazz Fest, wear it surfing overhead waves in Costa Rica at Playa Hermosa, wear it paddling in Alaska or just hiking. This is my favorite hat to grab when going outside even though I’m a trucker hat guy, this is my go-to for most all my water sport activities. I’m on my third one, got to have some options ha. The brim technology is just as described, after falling in the water after wiping out you can just jump back up and worry about paddling out the impact zone and not if you can see from a floppy hat….does not happen. This is a great design, looks great and protects you from the sun. Thanks guys for such a great product.
  • I’ve been wearing a variety of different hats for over 20 years now. None of them compare to your product. The magic is in the rigid visor! Totally functional when dry or sopping wet. Fit and styling are right on point as well. A superior product to anything I’ve worn before it
  • Had. So many issues with hats sailing, I splurged and ordered a Osprey and glad I did, problems solved
  • I’ve been surfing, standup paddling and oc paddling with my Osprey for a year now. Hands down the best accessory out there for the waterman
  • “The Sea Hawk is the sun hat I have been looking for years. I bought this for a week at the beach and it hardly ever left my head. Absolutely no flop in 20 mph winds on the beach or doing 40 mph in the boat. It is the greatest sun hat made for active people!!! Great product!!
  • Now if they would just do the same thing for a winter hat all my head ware needs would be met!”
  • I needed a hat to protect my head and face from the Sun. I have had skin cancer removed from my face in the past and am doing everything possible to protect myself from the Sun. One great thing about this hat is the lightweight and comfort of it. I was out at the Colorado River in May this year fishing, it was over 100 degrees. A great week of fishing, my Shelta Hat did its job in protecting me from the intense sun. Another great thing about this hat was that in the wind I didn’t have to worry about it blowing off and losing it. Multiple cord systems were awesome. In the wind I use it under my chin, when it’s calm I use it military style. The hard brim proved to hold up in the wind, not a floppy hat, and floated when I jumped in the river. This is a true sportsman’s hat
  • Great comfort, style, fit, what more can you say. I opted for this color since the camo was sold out. Wanted a that I could use while in the pool and to use mowing etc. This hat fits the bill, and the bill is great, no sag even after multiple times dunking in the water…So the hat’s damp and I’m sitting by the pool, the sun is brutal, I take the hat off and you can instantly feel the sun beaming on your head and face…put the hat back on and it literally felt 10 degrees cooler…Miniature mobile shade tree. A little pricey…..but you get what you pay for….
  • Love my Osprey model; These hats are ‘The Bomb’!!!
  • First … the purchase experience was great. Fast delivery with no problems!!
  • I’m a 57-year-old mountain biker who in 2012 was diagnosed with Basil Cell Carcinoma on one of my ears. It required surgery and 20+ stiches. I always liked wearing a baseball style hat but after surgery I needed to find something that would cover my ears. Thus started a five-year search to find a hat I felt comfortable in and looked good. I visited REI, Cabelas, Columbia and many other outdoor stores with no luck. The boonie style hats I found were too wide, too floppy or couldn’t be sized to fit my correctly. I have a son who is professional wake boarder (and a Fireman/Paramedic) so we are on the water too. So I resorted to buying ball hats that I could pull down over the top of my ears and even had the thought that I just needed to design my own boonie hat. Then I saw an ad on Facebook for Shelta Hats and I knew right away I found the answer. I liked them so much that I ordered both an Osprey and a Phoenix. They do everything I was hoping for, meaning I can fit them to my head perfectly. They cover my ears but the narrow sides are perfect, they work perfect on the water or in the Oregon rain and finally best of all the stiff baseball bill is just what I wanted. Thanks for designing the perfect year round hat!
  • Got my Camo Seahawk In the mail on Saturday. Wore it hiking Sunday and love the no flop front. Won’t be going back to floppy sun hats!!!!
  • Gobsmackingly good! I bought a Seahawk and the day after it arrived I was sailing in 30+kts. Not for a moment did I think that the hat was either going to fly away or the brim was going to flop down or up – and it doesn’t cause my head to overheat. There’s absolutely nothing about it not to love…Thank you for creating the best action hat in the world! David Mason Yacht master Instructor and Commercial Skipper
  • Recently we discovered Sheltahats . These are very high tech hats that offer incredible UV protection and are designed to be used in and around the water (think surfing, SUP, whitewater, swimming, etc.) Dewey and I have been testing these for the last couple weeks and that are a serious sun hat that we both agree outperform anything else. They have a stiff winged brim that offers great protection and vision, and doesn’t flop around even in 50mph winds. They are incredibly cool, and they stay put in the wind. The chinstrap can be clipped to the back to stay out of your way, or removed in seconds and stashed in a built in pocket. They’re expensive, but so far I would say they are well worth double the cost of other bucket, straw and up/downer hats I’ve tried. And they are just about double the price of many sun hats at $65.
  • Got my Camo Seahawk In the mail on Saturday. Wore it hiking Sunday and love the no flop front. Won’t be going back to floppy sun hats!!!!
  • I do a lot of stand up paddles is in the rivers in Florida .definitely needed this hat far surpasses any expectations I thought it would do ,I never go anywhere without it Glenn barnhill

  • that I found your hats. Somehow I found you through random Google ad
  • placement, I have no idea how Google does it, but they do, so thank

  • This hat is awesome, period.”
  • “I needed a hat to protect my head and face from the Sun. I have had skin cancer removed from my face in the past and am doing everything possible to protect myself from the Sun. One great thing about this hat is the light weight and comfort of it. My head size was right between sizes, M/L a little tight and L/XL little loose. I got the XL and with the size adapter it is comfortable and fits perfect.

  • I’ve had my Seahawk for a few weeks now and wear it all the time. Love it. Keeps the sun off my face and neck far better than the usual baseball hats I would normally wear. The stiff brim sets this hat apart from other hats like it. I’ll definitely be ordering another Seahawk in a different color soon.
  • Great hat wear mine on the boat every day
  • Wear it at the Jazz Fest, wear it surfing overhead waves in Costa Rica at Playa Hermosa, wear it paddling in Alaska or just hiking. This is my favorite hat to grab when going outside even though I’m a trucker hat guy, this is my go-to for most all my water sport activities. I’m on my third one, got to have some options ha.

  • I used the Seahawk at the beach for one-week in North Carolina. It’s the best hat I have come across for all-day comfort in 90+ temperatures and blistering sun. I won’t leave the house whiteout my Shelta!
  • Just received my new Shelta hat a few days ago via Amazon and I love it! Super quick delivery (arrived way sooner than the estimated delivery time) and I even exchanged the “Osprey” for a “Seahawk” and the refund was just as quick! Hat fits great, and I love the unique features like the removable head strap and hidden compartment. I especially love the stiff bill! No more floppy Sunhat!
  • Finally !Hat is as described. I have wanted a “Bucket” hat that wouldn’t flop into my face or blow the brim up while sailing and golfing. The front brim on this hat is designed to be similar to a bill on a cap yet retain the look and protection you want in a “bucket hat. It is also very light in weight. The adjustment feature for the perfect fit worked well for me. It doesn’t grip your head but is stable and I don’t feel like I’m still wearing a hat when I remove it after a round of golf or a day on the water. I haven’t had to use the strap but could see that in higher wind conditions especially while sailing that it will give me a feeling of security that it won’t blow off.
  • Got it in the mail last week, it’s everything I expected. Wish my department would allow them on duty
  • Bought the osprey liked it. My wife used it and likes it. Bought the griffin and like it also, but I see a Seahawk in the future. I like that pocket as opposed to the griffin. Either way excellent hats
  • Dude, I am so stoked about my Shelta Hats. The design of the brim holds up in the wettest of weather. The adjustable headband makes for a perfect fit and the stash pockets rule for my key or an extra $20.00. Good stuff for any adventure!
  • Just got one and been sailing all week in Caribbean with it….love it!
  • Just used my Osprey last week in the Gulf of Mexico of Cedar Key Fl. Worked as advertised and stayed on at 25mph. No flopping and no sunburn!
  • Ordered a Seahawk a couple weeks ago. Love it so much I just ordered an Osprey. I’ve been wearing a military boonie hat for 25 years before I discovered Shelta. I wish I would have found you sooner ! Best floppy hat I’ve ever had.
  • Used the hat off shore in one of the windiest Newport to Ensenada Race ever. Many boats broke the speed record. The hat worked great in all that wind. It didnt flop around like the T.ly Hat I used to wear. I will be ordering a hat for the skipper
  • BOOM, just got my second order in. A Seahawk to go with my Griffen….thanks for the DUMB fast shipping Shelta Hats. Just in time for Akumal Mexico trip.
  • I just got back from a river trip through the Grand Canyon and had the chance to use my Shelta Osprey for the first time. 28 years of guiding trips and I feel like I finally found the perfect hat! It definitely holds up in the wind, just as advertised! Thanks for a GREAT product!
  • Great boonie/water hat all of the extras are well thought out. This hat will actually make sunny days more enjoyable.
  • Hi, have just received my hat. A perfect sailing hat, have been looking for one of these for years!
  • It’s just a hat right? Wrong! It’s the perfect hat! I signed up for a 20-mile walk and knew I was going to need something to keep my head cool from the intense heat and the SEAHAWK came through! The light, breathable and stylish lid helped me accomplish my goal! 20 miles in 7 hours! Lets face it, gear or equipment failure is the last thing someone should worry about. I’m so glad I made the right choice and went with this hat!
  • “I’m another skin cancer victim looking for protection from the sun.
  • I’ve never been able to find a wide brim hat that I would wear because of the floppy brims.
  • I stumbled on Shelta hats by chance and thought it might solve my problems.
  • I decided to order 2 days before I was going to an air show. I called Shelta to see if there was any chance the hat would make it from California to Missouri in time for my trip. They assured me they would ship that day and it should make it in time, which it did. Awesome fast service!
  • The first day I had the hat I knew I made the right choice.
  • Wind speeds were steady at 25-30 mph all day long. Parachute teams canceled because of the wind.
  • I laughed all day long watching people chase their hats that blew off their heads. Laughed some more watching their brims fold back or down in their face. One guy was chasing a straw hat and stomped on it catch it. When he picked it up it looked like a pancake, LOL.
  • Then there was my Shelta. Absolutely no brim flip! I wore the chin strap cinched down behind my head and as extra protection clipped the strap to my neck chain in case it blew off. It didn’t blow off one time! I’m not exaggerating when I say I easily saw 50 people chasing hats that day.
  • The fit adjustment cord is great on a day like that if you need to tighten it up a little.
  • I didn’t mention it was also 90+ degrees that day. It has the best ventilation of any hat I’ve ever had.
  • I’ll be a Shelta customer for life!”
  • Did a great test of the front brim of my Shelta hat 2 days ago in Greenland. We were coming back by zodiac from a historic site and the wind was howling and the seas rough. Not once did the brim fold back. Protected my face and head perfectly
  • Great Product!!!! Simply a fantastic hat! Sure it’s a little pricey, but every shortcoming your traditional boonie has seems to be addressed with the Seahawk! I think the best thing Shelta achieved is a hat that keeps its shape while still being so lightweight.
  • On a scale of 1-10 this hat scores an 11
  • Got my Seahawk in and planned on wearing it kayaking! Plans changed and went to the Dixie Youth Georgia State Championship Series. Fits great and even kept my head cool in the 248 degree Ga. heat! Love It
  • Guys, this truly is the best boonie hat I have ever owned. Thanks so much,gonna get another….
  • I LOVE mine! After owning at least 6 different hats over the years, the Shelta is by far and away the best. Incredibly well thought-out and designed, well made, and looks good, too. The performance is amazing No
  • Great hat! Fit as expected and is very comfortable. Being bald I am always trying to find a good hat and this one is awesome. The difference with this hat and most of the other boonie styles is with the Shelta the head lining keeps your head from pressing against the fabric that is exposed to direct sunlight which gets way hot. We fished all day under a scorching Texas sun and I was comfortable the whole time. The stiff brim is also a plus along with the chinstrap configurations.
  • I hiked in the Swiss Alps, wearing my Shelta–It kept me cool and shaded from high elevation sun
  • A Gulf Coast thumbs up! First … the purchase experience was great. Fast delivery with no problems!!
  • I’ve mine for a few weeks now. I’ve worn if off shore fishing and while spending time on an island off the Maine Coast with NO SHADE TREES. (Large Green Island in Knox County) It provides great shade, keeps my head cool, fits and looks great. This hat is now in my outdoor adventuring rotation!! Thank you Shelta. I have the Seahawk BTW
  • Coming from someone that has already had the experience of skin cancer removed from various locations on my face,,,, This hat is a Godsend!! I’ve had my Shelta for almost a year now and I love it! Thank you for a great product!!

I didn’t mention it was also 90+ degrees that day. It has the best ventilation of any hat I’ve ever had. I’ll be a Shelta customer for life”
  • I use on my fishing trips. Holds up to all kinds of weather. Love it
  • Just got my XXL Seahawk. Love it!! I have a terrible time finding hats that fit well. Perfect. Thanks
  • Worn my Seahawk daily for this entire season and it’s still going strong! – got half my crew wearing them now
  • I used my Seahawk today in the pontoon boat and it worked perfect. Love this hat
  • I’m a Geologist in Colorado. I spend a lot of time in the field leading field trips and doing research in SE Colorado, which is a desert at best with 300+ days of sun. I own several hats, mostly OR, and they make great hats, but the front brim on this hat is amazing. I can already tell that this is my new field hat. This hat is awesome, period
  • Got my Seahawk last summer. Hands down the best water hat I’ve used. Actually it’s perfect for any outdoor activities.
  • I purchased the Seahawk and just got back from 2 weeks of fishing in Florida. The hat was awesome. No flopping as we sped in the boat from spot to spot. Great job with your product. Would highly recommend.
  • I’ve been looking a long time to replace my comfortable OR hat and found it with this one. I was hesitant to purchase this hat because of the price but I’m glad I did. It was worth every penny. The most comfortable sun hat that I have ever worn
  • Love mine….it’s worthy both in and out of the water!
  • “I have used this hat when jogging, backpacking, lake swimming and sailing so far.
  • Jogging: Light weight, cool on the head and absorbent brow with enough visor to keep sun out of eyes
  • Backpacking: The narrower brim on the back was an added bonus during backpacking since it was not crashing into the pack when looking up. It is relatively new but right now it is also pretty water repellent. I usual dip hats in stream when packing to cool off, the brow gets wet but the rest of hat rolls water right off (down my back! so nice)Swimming: Cliff dove with hat and swam across lake with no threat of ever losing it (chin strap on!)Sailing: It has lived up to the claim as wind resistant. I have been in 25-knot winds without the strap with any issue. It does “”feel”” like it is going to lift off due to the visor size but it never comes close”
  • I put my Seahawk through a full outdoor workday (99 degrees in the shade) and it performed well. My hat size is 7 5/8 and the XL fits perfectly. Will buy Phoenix in a month to rotate use!
  • Just took mine to Roatan for a week on the beach. Worked great! Looking forward to many adventures with this hat!
  • I’ve had mine for over a year. It’s been worth every penny.
  • I used the Seahawk at the beach for one-week in North Carolina. It’s the best hat I have come across for all-day comfort in 90+ temperatures and blistering sun. I won’t leave the house whiteout my Shelta
  • The brim stays in place, so awesome if you are a water person. A great design.
  • I don’t often leave a review on products. My Shelta Seahawk is worth a review. It is hands down the best outdoors hat I have ever worn. My ancestors gifted me with a natural lack of musical rhythm or dance skills, and skin that burns under overcast starlight. The Seahawk is the closest hat you’ll find to an Urban Sombrero coverage-wise, only it looks great and it is ridiculously lightweight. I wear mine sailing, power boating, paddling, and shooting. The no-flop brim is worth every penny and you get the rest of the hat for free. The adjustable draw strap in the headband is fantastic. Tighten it up in high wind, loosen it for lazy relaxation time. The chinstrap has a keeper to hold it up off your neck in the back or it can be removed entirely
  • Just got back from Cape Cod and absolutely loved my Shelta!!
  • Have purchased two hats………used them camping, fishing and golfing and they have performed flawlessly. They will not fly off even though I don’t use the chin cord and the rigid front brim works very well. I’ll own more than two shortly……… Ted Elink-Schuurman
  • Excellent quality – great fit – holds its form. The best adventure hat I have found to keep the sun off my ears and neck, and out of my eyes! Can’t be beat!
  • Best outdoor sun hat I ever purchased. I tried several other brands and had the dreaded brim flop when windy or wet. this hat is amazing. no drooping brim. with several different style you can find just what youre looking for in sun coverage. The hat size is adjustable so as long as you get the recommended size when ordering the hat will fit
  • Just went on a 2.5 day ocean fishing trip. This hat works as advertised. Love the multiple position strap set up. If you do not need the the clearance I would recommend a model with a little larger side and back brim for more sun protection. The fixed front brim is perfect. Comfortable, lightweight and great fit.
  • Love my Shelta, it works exactly how it suppose too
  • Just received my new Shelta hat a few days ago via Amazon and I love it! Super quick delivery (arrived way sooner than the estimated delivery time) and I even exchanged the “Osprey” for a “Seahawk” and the refund was just as quick! Hat fits great, and I love the unique features like the removable head strap and hidden compartment. I especially love the stiff bill! No more floppy Sunhat
  • Just received my Seahawk desert camo. Wow! Exceeded my expectations! High quality, great features, perfect fit for me (lg/xl), with adjustability if needed. I’m a bucket hat enthusiast and an outdoor lover who spends a lot of time in/on the water. Great for all water sports as well as golf. Great styling. Ordering sand dune and navy colors as well. You guys nailed it with this product line. Can’t believe how much I like this hat. Congratulations!!
  • looks, wears, and preforms exactly as described stays in place on a jet ski at 60mph.
  • Love this hat, wanted one with a brim that wouldn’t flop into my face, best designed hat for kayaking/paddling. Would highly recommend
  • Nothing short of a revelation. Great fit, great color, great brim
  • My experience was the hats run a little large based on my measurements and their sizing chart. I was easily able to arrange a return and reorder of a M/L size. The hats are very high quality, they have convenient features. I really like the shape and stiffness of the brim. This will be my go to hat for outdoor activity. Thank you.
  • Ordered a Seahawk a couple weeks ago. Love it so much I just ordered an Osprey. I’ve been wearing a military boonie hat for 25 years before I discovered Shelta. I wish I had found you sooner ! Best floppy hat I’ve ever had.
  • My husband loves this hat! He has worn a Tilley hat for years, but it was time for a new one. He has researched this hat for some time. From the time he put it on, he was so pleased with this hat. The fit was perfect and it is well worth the price!
  • Perfect for kayaking!
  • Just received mine today! All I can say is WOW. Spent (wasted) a lot of $$$ on outdoor hats from “TOP” manufacturers. The fit and brim stiffness has already impressed. Hitting the trail tomorrow and the beach next week so I am looking forward to sharing the results
  • Quality hat for sun protection and active water sports.
  • Ran A Spartan Super OCR last weekend, with my Shelta hat on they entire time. Not only did it hold up to all obstacles, and keep my face from getting sun burned, but it looked great as well
  • Shelta is the Tilley for the new generation
  • Purchased the Seahawk, delivery was quick and efficient. Product quality top notch. Will buy again from Shelta
  • best hat on the market, buy it! This hat is made from quality materials and looks great. I got the medium/large, which was a bit bigger than I was expecting, but it is very comfortable! If you love the outdoor I recommend you invest in this hat!
  • Loving my new Seahawk shelta hat been great on my bike and boat and even on dog walks with my #k9sportsack cant wait to go Kite surfing and on SUP once its a bit warmer
  • The absolute best hat for paddlers, the Osprey
  • The next best thing to a shade tree! Great comfort, style, fit, what more can you say. I opted for this color since the camo was sold out. Wanted a that I could use while in the pool and to use mowing etc. This hat fits the bill, and the bill is great, no sag even after multiple times dunking in the water…So the hat’s damp and I’m sitting by the pool, the sun is brutal, I take the hat off and you can instantly feel the sun beaming on your head and face…put the hat back on and it literally felt 10 degrees cooler…Miniature mobile shade tree. A little pricey…..but you get what you pay for
  • This is a great evolution to sailing sun hats! Over the decades, I’ve owned many and this is my new favorite. The only downside is that you can damage the bill stiffener so treat it carefully.
  • This hat is the best! I used it yesterday sailing in 20-25 knots of wind and the no flop visor worked great! Thanks for making an awesome water/sun adventure hat. I will definitely recommend it to all my sailing mates
  • This is a great hat. It’s waterproof and easy to rinse/clean. The size does run small though. I usually wear Medium hats, but I needed the L/XL Shelta Hat
  • These are the best hats if you spend time out in the sun, wind, and rain. No more floppy brims in your face. The side and back brim keeps the sun off and the front part of the hat has an extended brim that is ‘solid’ and will not flop in your view if it gets wet or sweaty. The best hat of its kind I have ever owned (bought me a second one just to have a backup). I prefer the silver colored one than the camo one as the camo style is a bit more green and brown than the black and grey I thought it would be based on the image on the screen.
  • Throwing in my 2 cents. I own the Osprey. Wear it everywhere in the summer. I’m a runner who lives on a farm….and I’m bald! This hat is great for everything I do and doesn’t look stupid
  • Recently bought one of your boonies (Seahawk) and wore it for hurricane Irma. ( I’m a firefighter paramedic/ Seminole county Florida). Your hat is awesome! It kept the wind and rain off my face, and held up the hood on my raincoat. I could actually see what I was doing! Please, as soon as you get XXL in Seahawk/camo let me know, I want one for off duty. FYI I’m prior military and currently in the fire service with a combined service of 32 years…I’ve worn a lot of boonie’s over that time, yours is by far the best!
  • What I have been looking for! The Sea Hawk is the sun hat I have been looking for for years. I bought this for a week at the beach and it hardly ever left my head. Absolutely no flop in 20 mph winds on the beach or doing 40 mph in the boat. It is the greatest sun hat made for active people!!! Great product!! Now if they would just do the same thing for a winter hat all my headwear needs would be met!
  • Used my Shelta hat for the first time this past weekend working the Orcas youth regatta, as a self professed gear geek I have to give it two thumbs up. 30 kts in the RIB and not a flicker from the brim
  • Wear mine driving skiboat Love it!
  • Wore hat at the river yesterday. Never had to worry about it flying off or the front bill flying backwards. My face and neck didn’t get burned either. Awesome product, highly recommended for outdoor adventures!!!
  • When I ordered my 2 hats from Shelta Hats a few months ago I thought they were pricy, but I can assure you that you won’t find a more comfortable, great looking hat, that gives you the protection these do. Well worth the money! Waiting for Shelta Hats to put out a camo, so I can order another.
  • This is the VERY best “bucket hat” ever. I’ve looked for a decade and purchased several duds. I’m a longtime surfer and outdoorsman. Hat protects face and ears, and as a bonus — looks cool ! — so many make you look like Gilligan or as our daughter says, “A zookeeper”. (Nothing against zookeepers). I’ll spread the word.
  • Worth every penny.
  • This hat is perfect. It’s light but strong, it fits perfectly and is super comfortable. The brim is awesome. I can’t say enough about this hat. If you are on the fence just buy it. You won’t regret it.
  • “I live in South Florida where the sun is brutal even in the winter. A hat that stays put, is lightweight, and blocks the sun is essential. Use to wear Tilly hats, but the brim would fold in a breeze or when running the boat. Not these!
  • I bought a second one just to be sure I always have one handy!”
  • Works unreal on downwind runs. Loving it
  • I got the camo in L/XL and it fits perfectly. I’m retired so one of the uses is for when I mow/edge my lawn during Arkansas hot summers. But I also wear it when I walk long distances for fitness. The previous wide brim hats were floppy and any gust of wind would flip the front up exposing my face. I’m also a landscape photographer and that makes the hat great for hiking.
  • I’ve been wearing boogie hats for years playing golf but always had the floppy brim problem when the wind picked up. Not anymore! Bought a Seahawk last week on the recommendation of a member of the Schools department store. I’ve worn it twice playing golf this past weekend in very windy conditions and 90 degree temps. Absolutely works as advertised! No flopping around plus my head did not overheat. Big test next week in Ireland for 7 days of golf! Stay tuned!
  • “Just received my Seahawk this week and used it during a sailing race on the weekend. It worked perfectly, no flopping in my face like my previous hat. If you’re curious as to how this hat works, think baseball cap built into a sun hat. It seems a little pricey, but the quality and detail built into this hat make it worth every penny. I can tell that it will be an essential piece of gear for me for a long time to come.
  • Thanks Shelta!”
  • Just received my Seahawk. Right off the bat you can tell it’s quality. The fit is exactly as charted on this site. My size was exactly in-between an XL and XXL (most one size fits all, don’t fit me). I opted to go with the XXL because I was afraid the XL would be too tight and give me headaches. The XXL fits good, comfortable. In a strong wind I may need the chin strap because it’s not snug. Happy with my purchase!
  • “I purchased the Seahawk sun hat and in love with this hat.
  • Took it to Destin Florida and it was great. I have purchased a lot of Boonie style hats but the Shelta Seahawk blows the other Boonie hats away.
  • Watching others go by fixing the brim from blocking there view, floppy brims, no UV protection, no draw sting, no venting system, I thought, did I look like that all these years.
  • Nothing like it in the market today!!”
  • I have been a Tilley Hat owner for the past 10+years and own 2 which I have worn all over the place and love! I bought this hat on a whim and I am amazed at how light, comfortable and well made it is. The rigid brim is also the best idea since sliced bread was invented! My Tilley hats have been consigned to the closet this hat is better by far!!
  • Shelta Phoenix is the best hat I have yet worn for a multitude of sports and play!!! Keeps sun off my ears and neck, with the long brim covering face and nose!!! Adjustable fit for tightness or loosen it up for loose fit!! Great for cover in sun while out in the water. Stiff brim always keep the sun away from face. Used it for golfing and was great!! Better than a normal hat since it covered ears and neck on top of proving shade on the face!! Was a hot day so sweated some. Just rinsed it in some warm water, let it dry and it was like new again!! Was just in Hawaii used it for hikes, water sports and just kicking it by the pool. Even when it rained this hat perfomed! Best overall hat I have worn yet!!!
  • “This is my second Shelta, I needed a hat to protect my head and face from the Sun. I have had skin cancer removed from my face in the past and am doing everything possible to protect myself from the Sun. One great thing about this hat is the light weight and comfort of it. My head size was right between sizes, M/L a little tight and L/XL little loose. I got the XL and with the size adapter it is comfortable and fits perfect.
  • I was out at the Colorado river in May this year fishing, it was over 100 degrees. A great week of fishing, my Shelta Hat did its job in protecting me from the intense sun. Another great thing about this hat was that in the wind I didn’t have to worry about it blowing off and losing it. Multiple cord systems were awesome. In the wind I use it under my chin, when it’s calm I use it military style. The hard brim proved to hold up in the wind, not a floppy hat, and floated when I jumped in the river.
  • This is a true sportsman’s hat!
  • Mark Spreeman”
  • Have been a Tilley hat owner for 15 years. Tried a Shelta and was so impressed I purchased another 4 for the 20 year old kids who are now also converts. All the value add stated actually improves the overall experience. I SUP, jet ski, kayak, sail, fish and hunt and it works a treat for all those activities. Great job Shelta
  • Unfortunately I wear glasses so all other buffs cause them to fog up which forces me to pull the buff down. As a result my nose and upper face gets burned regardless of how many times I reapply sunscreen. This gaiter solves this problem, is comfortable, lightweight and is a must have if you are going to spend extended periods of time on the water.
  • “Not one to write reviews but I love Shelta Hats. I have had several Shelta hat styles and materials for different activities over the past 2 years. Use them for both work and adventure. This new Firebird V2 is the bomb. Light weight and the extra coverage is awesome. This one does not get hot even in the Carolina heat. Still love the smaller brim Raptor, but I think the Firebird will be my new go-to on the boat, beach, water, and kids games.
  • Always impressed with the customer service.”
  • This is an awesome product, best sun hat I’ve ever had. It’s very light and comfortable and well worth the price!
  • “I have always been a ball cap and buff guy. But being in south Florida the buff can be tuff to wear up all the time, thus leaving the ears exposed. I have a Tilley but its hot and the bill is all over the place when running the boat. I bought the Seahawk to try on a weekend run to the Marquesas. I really was not expecting much since I’m picky. Man was I surprised. running out at over 35 mph, the hat stayed true as advertised. It stayed cool and by the end of the first day my fishing buddy was mad I didn’t tell him about the hat before the trip. He has since ordered one.
  • This is a great hat. Well worth the price tag !”
  • “I wanted more coverage than a ball cap, but not a cumbersome hat. The Shelta was the answer. I went with the Osprey for adequate, but minimal coverage to allow me freedom to participate in my favorite activities without hinderance.
  • The size, for me, normally a 7 3/8, was on the upper end of a M/L with a measurement of 23 1/4″”. I tried a L/XL and needed all the adjustment the hat allowed, without distortion, to get the proper fit. I decided to go with the M/L which was just, barely, large enough to give me a really comfortable fit.
  • A suggestion to anyone trying the hat on… if it fits snug to begin with, give it a half hour. You’ll then probably find that it is too snug to be comfortable.
  • Concerning the hat itself… I found it to be excellent quality, somewhat lighter than I’d expected (but that was a good thing), good looking for sure, and, yes, the brim is great.”
  • Received my Osprey and I love it! It’s everything I researched it would be. Excellent quality and craftsmanship and the design is perfect! I would not hesitate to purchase another hat, or any other product that Shelta offers. Also, the customer service is stellar. All questions answered quickly and courteously. Superb company to do business with.
  • I just got my Storm Gray Seahawk and have worn it on a few hikes. I really like it. It fits well without being too snug, and the elastic cinch strap permits adjustment for just the right fit. The hat is extremely well made. All the stitching is perfect and materials are definitely top quality. The brim is excellent. We’ve had nice cool weather so I haven’t put the moisture wicking features to the test yet. This will be my go-to hat for most outdoor activities. I’ll probably wear it paddling this weekend. There have been a few Tilley-bashers among the reviewers here, but I can’t count myself among them. I’ve also got a tilley and like it a lot. I’ll probably continue to use it when a little more dignified look is called for. As much as I like the Seahawk it’s not exactly what you could call stylish. You can’t really have too many hats, can you?
  • “Best piece of outdoor gear I own!
  • These folks did their research!
  • Just ordered another one.”
  • “This is the best hat I’ve ever put on, hands down. I don’t really leave reviews but this hat is so good, I had to. I have two of the Seahawk and I love them. I am totally bald and shave my head of why little hair I would have if I were to let it grow. I also have fair skin, so sun protection is always something I have to think about. I have tried Columbia, North Face, etc. and none of them even come close to Shelta. First, the brim doesn’t budge in wind, rain, or the elements. This is a game changer. All my other hats flopped in the smallest gust. The brim alone is worth the price. I can wear my Oakley sunglasses and the hat still fits fine and the overall fit is great. I sized up (like this site says to) since I was in between sizes, and it fits great.
  • The other thing that is great to me is this: this hat feels so good on my head. The material is soft, breathes well, and doesn’t rub my skin weird. BALD GUYS this is great for you. So many hats leave my head scratched, marked up, or I end up with some type of rash since I have zero hair and most hats assume the wearer has at least some hair. This hat does none of that. Feels great.
  • I wear this hat in the yard, by the pool, and I cant wait to take it to the beach this summer. Thanks for making a great product!”
  • I never thought I would see the day that my Tilley wasn’t with me everywhere I went. Now I wear my Shelter hat all over the place, in the yard in the boat and on vacation. I guess I could sell my Tilley on eBay.
  • Finally found a truly durable, stylish and functional hat to use while playing golf. This hat beats all other brands I’ve tried using in the Texas heat. Very comfortable.
  • My review was about the Seahawk. Had Osprey on the brain as I am looking at and thinking about buying one of those for certain activities. Just want to be clear for people reading the reviews.
  • I was pretty hesitant about spending so much on a hat, but after a couple of weeks of wearing it, and a trip to the beach, I really, really like this hat. If your looking for extreme sun coverage from a brim, you might want to consider another option, but if your looking for a comfortable outdoor hat that performs as its claimed, this is the hat for you.
  • Just received my Seahawk this week and I absolutely love this hat! Have owned many floppy hats as I am an avid fisherman and none stand up to the quality and functionality of a Shelta Hat! Will definitely be purchasing another one. Definitely worth the price!
  • I’ve owned the Seahawk for a couple of weeks now and this is the best hat I’ve ever had for sun protection here in the Southeast. I own a couple of hats from a Canadian competitor and even their airflow hats are still very hot here in the summer. The Shelta hat is so light weight and the brim in the front stays rigid. I love my Seahawk!
  • I just got my Seahawk today and I am very impressed! I was worried the L/XL may be a tight fit as I have 24” head and am borderline XXL but the L/XL fit great. I love the design of the front brim and the fact that the cord is removable and can be stashed in the inner pocket. A+
  • Just got my new Osprey yesterday. Impressive quality. Seriously good. Living in FL sun hats are a must. Will be wearing this one again today. Whether having outdoor fun at the beach, on a boat, or the more mundane mowing the lawn… You need a good sun hat here in FL. I’ve been wearing the Canadian competitor. (And still will on occasion… I think.) But this hat is going to give my other hats lots of closet time. Can’t wait to experience the no flop brim on a windy day or on the boat! Going to be a huge improvement over what I am used to. I can already see that I’ll be ordering another Osprey in a different color. Cannot recommend Shelta highly enough. Stop reading reviews and just go buy one.
  • “I have both the Seahawk and the Raptor. Absolutely love them both. I live in both these hats, using the Raptor for higher output activities like trail running and road running. The Seahawk is a key piece of my hiking gear, providing superb UV protection.
  • These guys nailed it. By far the best hats on the market. Their customer service is on another level too. This is a brand to get behind, folks.
  • Thanks, Shelta!”
  • “I really like this hat covers ears from the sun.
  • I have wore this hat several times golfing and it works great no front flopping in the wind.
  • Very happy with my purchase.
  • Anyone who enjoys outdoor activity’s will love this hat.”
  • Love these hats so much I purchased two more when I received my first one. Very comfortable and well structured. Great customer service!! Delivered to your door in 3days which I couldn’t believe since I live on the East coast and the company is on West. Highly recommend this great product!! Thanks Sheltahats!! I’ll be buying more in the future.
  • Took this hat to the beach all week, it worked flawlessly. It was a windy day and while others hats were flying off or folding up/down mine stayed in place. Even in the waves. Great product, well worth the money!
  • Im sharing this with you because I appreciate quality…Since moving to Colorado I’ve been looking for a decent sun/hiking/work hat. I think so far I’ve bought three, returned two, and one was blown away on a hike, all mediocre. With an upcoming trip to Glacier National Park I was looking around like crazy for another hat so my neck and ears would not get fried hiking. So I digress, over the past few months I have been seeing this add on facebook for Shelta hats. I figured it was just another shitty product on the internet but last week I broke down and ordered one (Osprey) with neck shield and got it today. Dude, it’s totally worth the money and so well made and SPF 50+. I’m so impressed I’m going to order another. The best part of the hat is it has a shaped stiff front brim not floppy and the hat is proportioned correctly. So if your looking for an AWESOME hat for the outdoors that’s been designed with thought and has real quality in design and materials order a SHELTA otherwise you’ll wish you had.
  • Just got my first Seahawk and I love it. So over engineered its just awesome. Wearing it as I type and just bought one for my brother in law to use at his ranch. He’ll love it too!!
  • This hat it’s so light on my head I love it. Up in northern Michigan on the Au Sable (South Branch) no fish yet but I got a couple days and no sunburn on my ears or face!
  • Got tired of wearing boonies , my doctor told me I have to start wearing UV hats .. I ordered the Seahawk and it’s great .. the quality of construction is amazing .. I can wear it all day and you don’t even know its on your head , very comfortable .. and its great not to have the brim flop down in your eyes .. I have now ordered the neck gaiter to go with it ! Great hat
  • These hats are “the goods”. Bought an Osprey and it is everything Shelta says it is. Seems I can never find a hat that has it all until I got the osprey; well though out and designed. The fit, finish, details, and comfort are the best. Not inexpensive but the quality is worth the price. So, I just ordered a Seahawk. Keep up the good work Shelta.
  • Love my Shelta, but why do they have to be made in China?
  • Impressed is not the right word for the SEAHAWK. I own a landscape company in Arkansas and I am usually on a softball field watching my daughter play almost every weekend. I purchased and wear the SEAHAWK on a regular basis after I was diagnosed with Melanoma in situ in order to keep the sun off my head, neck, and ears. The design of this hat has been the reason it has lasted this long (2 YEARS AND COUNTING). I have washed it hundreds of times with absolutely no change in the hat, minus a tad bit of fading. The brim is still solid and the head band has not stretched due to sweating or washing. Bravo Shelta, Bravo!
  • Love the neck shield .. attaches to the hat easily and it works ! I have lived in Arizona my whole life.. I have had skin cancer on my ears and neck .. doctor said no more caps or cowboy hats .. these Shelta hats are great .. quality and comfort is excellent .
  • LOVE THE HAT… BUT, I wished you had them in black!
  • I saw my first Shelta Hat in a SUP Board shop and had to have it instantly. The engineering in this hat is perfect. I had just been to the beach with my boys and my boonie went limp after getting wet. This hat doesn’t have that issue. The inventor of this hat is a genius. Thanks for answering my prayers. The only question I have is Will you make a Seahawk with the bigger brim like the Firebird v2. I am not a big fan of the rounded crown. Thanks again you genius.
  • Thanks went thru a lot of hats after discovering skin cancer on my neck/scalp from to much sun, cover as much as you can when outdoors was the advice given to me by the Dr. All of the wide brim hats I tried were bulky, floppy, or hot could not find a hat for all my outdoor activities until I acquired the seahawk early last summer, it is now the only wide brimmed hat I carry or use that covers all my needs, fishing, hunting, golfing and hiking.
  • I dig everything about the hat except your color selection. Please consider adding black to your line up. I’d buy another one if you did!
  • Great hat for all watersports but also for just about anything else too. In addition to surfing, standup, and boating. I have used mine for hiking, yard work and just lounging around since where I live the sun is relentless. I would highly recommend these hats for people that are looking for value and craftsmanship in the products they buy and use
  • Best hats in the world. Favorite hat to paddle in. Never paddle without one
  • I have a BIG head and this hat fits great! (XXXL) It is without a doubt the best fitting sports hat that I have ever worn. I’m ordering a couple more soon because I am so impressed with the fit and quality of the Seahawk hat! I think I’ll also buy a neck shield. Good sun protection is important in the high country.
  • Really like and comfortable \cool. Not as bright orange as expected, but I like it better. I bought xl because of suggestion reference shrinking and actually a little big. Not such that I won’t wear, but will go with a large next time. I’m 5’10, 185lbs.
  • Why aren’t these hats with the military?.
  • I’m only 5 days into owning the Seahawk and I haven’t taken it off. I already went hiking, did some work in the rain, and 2 days ago it was extremely gusty. I love this hat. I do wish the sides could be snapped up though. Ideally I’d love one of each model, but that’s not in the budget. A+ If you’re not sure, just buy one. You’ll be glad you did.
  • This is the first product I’ve ordered through an Instagram advertisement. Im super stoked about my Seahawk hat. It is better quality than I thought it would be. Fits great and the shipping was amazing. I ordered it last shift at the fire station and it showed up at my house two days later. Impressed!! Extremely high quality, very breathable. Definitely my new go to for work and play. Thank you for delivering what you promised! I will definitely recommend this to everyone.
  • Customer service is excellent. My seahawk hat,great.Above my expectations’Im a hat guy, my son says i have to many .I thank my seahawk will be the last one.If i do buy another hat it will definitely be a Shelta.I found my hat company.As far as im concerned the best hats on the market.
  • I work 10-12 hours a day in all types of weather during the summer beach season. Put this hat through the ringer last season and it didn’t disappoint. After being diagnosed with pre cancerous spots on my head and going through treatment I was looking for more protection than an issued cotton baseball cap could provide. I approached the federal agency I work for and of course the response was “65 dollars for a hat. Im used to that response so I ordered one anyway and used it everyday from May to October. Through wind, sun, rain, while training, on paddle boards, surfing on days off, running, paddling…..you name it. This style just works for what I do. The only thing that shows any wear is the embroidery I had done to it. Im getting a couple more so I can rotate them during the week allowing me to always have a fresh clean one for work. Thank you for making something that actually does what you say it does.
  • Windproof hat that feels good. I teach physical education and regularly walk the beach. I have knowledge and experience with functional outdoor gear. The Firebird V2 checks all the boxes. The No Flop Brim is amazing. Did not move on todays walk, 19 mph ocean breeze. The cinch keeps the hat on. Extremely comfortable because of the mesh lining that provides wicking layer between head and crown of hat. I have worn Outdoor Research hats for years because of their mesh lining. Shelta is my new favorite. High quality hat that is worth the money. Just one request, make the Firebird V2 in gray.
  • I wasn’t sure if I wanted to spend this much on a boonie hat, but with a US size 8+ head I’m willing to take a shot when I find something in a big enough size, because that is very rare. The best thing to say about it is that everything is exactly as described in their product literature; it seems to meet all their lofty claims. If it holds up over time as well as it performs new I’ll have no complaints. Note that the XXXL is available in fewer colors. I got sand dune because it was the lightest available in my size, but I just noticed that they’ve since discontinued that color. Now the lightest color for xxxl is listed as field khaki. I’d recommend they make the xxxl available in light silver. Lighter is cooler in the hot sun.
  • “Ordered on Wednesday got it Saturday! Bought the Seahawk in dirty olive size M/L.
  • First impression, its lighter than I thought and feels well made. Fits my head great and the cinch is brilliant. The stitching and panel alignment look spot on. The only complaint is the visor touches my glasses keeping me from pulling it low to my eyebrows, after a little reforming the visor problem solved.”
  • I’ve had a SheltaHat for years and primarily wore it surfing. They work great and I had no issues with field of vision while surfing. I bought a Raptor2 for a backpacking trip in the Sierras. 50 miles in 4 days. It functioned incredibly well. The brim is short enough on the back of the hat that it doesn’t bother you with your backpack touching it and long enough where it protected my neck, ears, etc from the relentless sun. It was also didn’t get too hot and was fairly breathable. Also…4-5 days sweating and hiking didn’t leave any foul odors. This hat will be on my head for any and all activities going forward. I coupled this with the neck gaiter and the gloves. Necessity for backpacking! Keep doing your thang Shelta!!!!
  • Purchased my Shelta Seahawk prior to our family vacation to the Outer Banks. Received the hat quickly and well packaged. Quality is first rate. Very comfortable! Loved wearing it surf fishing and stayed in place in high winds – great hat and definitely worth the price. Highly recommend!
  • Great product and super comfortable. BUT What set Shelta apart for me was that the customer service is Nordstrom like in its excellence. Any issues, they address them quickly, kindly, and with common sense. Great product and people. A+
  • “Guys,
  • This is a great hat. Beautiful workmanship, light as a feather, and excellent design. The material feels nice, and that “”no flop brim”” is better than a ball cap. it is quickly becoming my favorite piece of kit. I use it for paddling, hiking, scrambling etc. Here in the Canadian Rockies we use helmets for climbing, but on a clean sport climb like in Squamish, BC I would belay in it.
  • it is worth every penny. You don’t know what you got until you start wearing it.”
  • “I have a large cranium–size 8 1/4 (U.S.) and in my almost 60 years of life have never had a hat that fit well. It’s exceedingly difficult to find a hat in this size range.
  • Enter the XXXL Shelta Seahawk. It fits perfectly. It’s light, and so comfortable I forget I’m wearing it. Headed out this morning to fish the Texas costal flats sporting my fancy new hat and couldn’t be happier. I was reluctant to pay $70 for a hat that I figured wouldn’t really fit, but am SO HAPPY I did.
  • Pretty sure that 24″” redfish I caught today was all because of the hat. 🙂
  • Even if you have a normal sized noggin, you won’t regret buying the Seahawk. Can’t recommend it highly enough.”
  • Bought the Firebird V2 for coastal fishing in South Louisiana. I wanted sun protection, rain protection, and a wind resistant hat that did not flop down in my face while driving the boat. Used it yesterday for the first time and it was thoroughly tested in all categories. Sun – felt no heat through the hat from the blistering July sun and well ventilated with no sweat buildup. Rain – the unexpected coastal downpour did not penetrate the hat, head stayed good and dry. Wind – spent an hour driving 30 MPH into a 15 MPH headwind. In the collective 45 MPH wind I did feel the hat lift up nor attempt to flop down under normal usage (yes, you could tilt your head back so the brim catches full wind but that is not normal for me). I forgot it was on my head. It cost a little more than I normally pay for a hat but it performs much better than the hats I normally buy. After using it, I know it was a great deal for the price. Tested and approved.
  • Product description is 100% accurate. Very comfortable shirt for any active adventure. Key features that I like: slightly loose fit, collar is high enough, hands can be covered, breathable/wicking material, secure zip pocket and looks good.
  • “Just received my SB camo Condor and I cannot imagine a more perfect hat. I have a Firebird V2 as well, but the Condor seriously ups the sun protection due to the wider and dropped brim. I will say Ill miss the stash pocket, though.
  • Great job, Shelta!”
  • “Just received a Firebird V2
  • Hat as a b-day present as we were heading up to Baxter state park in Maine. We had it all this past weekend! Sun,High winds and rain. The strap kept it on during heavy gusts on the Hunt trail and the no flop bill kept its shape during rain which was my favorite part. Light weight and its design is going to be hard to top! Nice work!
  • Alex”
  • Was shopping with my husband when I came across the Seahawk In SB Camo. Tried it on..loved the way it fit. I’m always on the lookout for a good sunhat for the boat, beach, everything. This is perfect! My husband who Never wears hats just ordered one for himself…and I got the Condor In lt silver… Love how quickly it dries, lightweight so I don’t feel so overheated..my new go to!
  • A hat you almost forget is on your head! While seldom needing the chin strap to keep it on! Stays put riding on a tractor or utv even at 40 mph. Will definitely be back for more! Have 3 different styles but the condor is my favorite! Keep up the good work!
  • As someone with a big head (7 7/8 to 8), its a challenge to find a hat that fits. For me, a XXXL Seahawk fits perfectly. Its big enough to be completely comfortable and can be tightened if needed with the toggle on the back. And not only does it fit the circumference of my head, the XXXL is proportionally a larger hat. For guys with larger heads, weave all had hats that are overall just too small. With sizing options including a XXXL, that’s certainly not the case with the Seahawk. Add to the great fit all of the features and this hat is a unique standout. Thanks Shelta!
  • I recently purchased the Firebird V2 on Amazon (needed it quick) for a hiking trip. I am not a huge fan of wearing hats but I wanted something with a wide brim to block the sun. I wore this hat constantly for a week and couldn’t be happier. I am a heavy sweater but the sweat band works great, there is excellent ventilation and I love the hard brim on the front. It dries quickly and is very comfortable. It protected my face and neck from sunburn and it looks great. I got caught in a downpour and it didn’t become a soggy mess. I also like that you can remove the chin strap if you want to. My wife is sick of me telling her how much I like this hat! Thank you for making a great product.
  • After my husband ordered one and loved it, I ordered the Osprey for my daddy for Fathers Day. I didn’t know if he would wear it because he typically doesn’t like to get things dirty. Well…..he wears his hat everyday! He loves it! He never asks for anything, but told me he wanted a â Sunday hat for his birthday. He even said that between Fathers Day, Birthday, Christmas, and anniversary, he should be able to get four hats every year!
  • I bought this hat for protection when fishing along the gulf coast. Without a doubt this has been the most impressive hat I have experienced. It does exactly what they advertise!!! It shields my head from the hot humid conditions we face in the summer. What really impressed me was when I got caught in a heavy rain and my head remained dry . You cannot go wrong with this company. If you seek pleasure being outdoors, you will value this hat.
  • Well built, comfortable, lightweight. I had to get a second one! It’s also nice to have a hat that actually fits. The XXL fits my 7 3/4 size head very well.
  • I’m very pleased with the Shelta Osprey hat. Hands down best all around hat I’ve purchased. I have Tilley airflo hat that has wider brim comparable to Shelta Seahawk. However Osprey is cooler on my head than the Tilley and the fit for me with shorter brim doesn’t hit backpack from behind. Enough brim to cover back neck and ears is plenty. Ill be using this hat for everything outdoors hiking, golf and fishing as well. This hat breathes nicely. I’m in southwest corner of AZ. I know heat.
  • I own a Tilley air Flo hat which I love, and a few other cheap hats. However, I wanted on with smaller side brim – and a visor that stayed put in the wind. The Shelta Raptor 2 fit the bill perfectly! This hat was worth every penny. Read the instructions! Recommend the chin strap for windy weather – and boat rides. It is an amazing hat! Well made, reflective, and great color choice!
  • Really impressed overall. High quality all around. Thank you for making XXL. A lot of thought went into this hat design. This could be the perfect outdoor sun protection hat. I plan on investing in some of the other styles in the future. If you’re a boonie fan and need a lot of sun coverage pull the trigger and get this hat. Also, really prompt shipment and nice packaging.
  • Would buy again but, THEYRE ALWAYS SOLD OUT.
  • “Bought this because I love the Seahawk so much. I wanted something with more coverage , and this fit the bill….no pun intended.
  • Perfect for a day at the beach or pool.
  • I do miss the stash pocket, and the metal eyelet vents that the Seahawk has. Gives it more of a traditional boonie appearance. At this price point, these details shouldn’t be overlooked. Probably why I prefer the Seahawk slightly over this.
  • Wondering if you will ever do a marine (blue Navy or Coast Guard) camo print? Would love a Seahawk in that!
  • Still love these hats!”
  • “I’ve bought several colors in the Seahawk and love them. They are used in a variety of different activities and have NEVER let me down. Never have I questioned why I bought them.
  • My buddy liked mine so much he bought a hat or two.
  • I’m constantly answering questions about the Seahawk I happen to be wearing at the time and people love the hat.
  • Im trying some of your face coverings and look forward to the same positive production as your hats!”
  • I am very happy to report that not only is my Osprey hat functional and looks great, but the XXXL actually fits my size 8 head! I waited until the SB Camo was available in my size and ordered it. I wore it on a hike recently and it performed great and was very comfortable to wear.
  • “I work as a caddie and player assistant at a coastal links golf course in Western Washington, and we get strong winds year-round. All of my other broad-brimmed hats suffer from “”brim flop””, which is both annoying and inefficient. Not so with my Shelta Seahawk hat. I’ve faced down 30 mph wind and my hat stays on, and brim flat. Both fellow caddies and golfers are impressed, and so I’ve made quite a few Shelta Believers. The one area where promised performance is better than promised is its resistance to rain; although it’s certainly not waterproof, my hat sheds light steady precip, and the stiff front brim keeps the rain off my glasses and face!
  • Unlike my traditional gore-tex hats, my head stays cool even while lugging a heavy staff bag around 9 miles of hills on the course! First class quality materials and construction are worthy of my highest rating!
  • I highly recommend a Shelta hat for anyone looking for top performance under most every weather conditions.”
  • I don’t usually write reviews, but this is worth the time. I’m a former Marine, and this hat fit just as I remember my favorite boonie back in the day. But they improved upon it. The fixed bill is a game-changer. I had ordered a Tilly wanderer, but when I had it on my head, it made me feel like an old man. Love this hat. I might have to get a few more.
  • Best. Hat. Ever!!!! I highly recommend it
  • Found your hats a perfect time. I needed to be able to use a clip-on magnifier to tie/attach my flies and lures while fishing. My favorite fishing hat was a floppy brim Sombriolet Sun Hat to keep sun off my ears/neck but the brim wouldn’t support the clip-on magnifiers. Enter my new favorite fishing hat, the Shelta Seahawk. The firm brim is just what I was looking for. Thank you! I will be ordering a second one soon.
  • LOVE my raptor for bass fishing. Much better sun and glare protection than a baseball hat, without being big and in the way like my old big floppy sun hat. I can wear this hat with the chin strap up to 45mph driving the bass boat before I have to take it off. The padded hat band absorbs sweat well on hot days. My new favorite for all outdoor activities.
  • WOW! I have been wearing bucket hats for years but always hated how floppy they were. Well, my problem has been solved and I’m loving this hat! I have pretty fair skin but love the sun. This is a very lightweight hat and cool but the front bill visor does not droop at all. It’s well worth the money. Even my teenage daughters said that the look was not terrible (a pass from them). I may be ordering a second one as a spare. I can’t wait to hit the beach in OBX for some surf fishing with this new hat!
  • The condor is the perfect sun hat for Florida, brim doesnt flop in the wind or water, very light and comfortable with a wide three inch brim.
  • Landscaper SWFL , getting ready to order my second hat . By far the best technology , comfort , and durability of any hat out there .
  • What an awesome hat. I cant have much sun on my bald head. I waited to get my first hat.. the quality is way more than i expected. I immediately ordered other colors. You wont be sorry. Best hat in my arsenal by far.
  • Hat just came today. Already took it out fishing in some decent wind. Brim stayed put. Fits great. Customer service is EXCELLENT. I inadvertently selected the wrong color while submitting my order. One quick email and problem solved. Will be ordering from this company in the near future.
  • I never thought I would find a hat that would beat my OR sun runner for the multiple purposes of paddling, running, general outdoor stuff in the Texas sun. This hat finally did it. My only complaint is matching neck shade to go with the desert camo hat, but that’s pretty minor.
  • I have a hat that had sweat stains that would not go away with just rinsing with water. I went to the Shelta site and learned about the baking soda + water method. I just did that and was 100% successful. Sweat stains are all gone. Thanks! I also got a second hat as a backup. I love the hat since it is sized large enough for my head. Happy customer.
  • Just got my first one yesterday. Already know its a winner. The difference, the quality is noticeable. Well worth it.
  • I can not recommend this hat enough. Well made, comfortable. I have a large head and have difficulty finding hats that fit. The sizing on these hats is very accurate. I also have a history of skin cancer so sun protection is vital for me. I could go on endlessly – these hats are amazing and absolutely worth the price. You will not be happy with only one!
  • I just subjected my new Raptor V2 to 3 days of fly fishing in conditions ranging from hot to cool, no wind to blustery swirling gusts, and epic swarms of mosquitoes and deer flies. I am delighted with how well the hat functioned. It is a bit odd looking, but the fit, performance, and comfort make up for it. The longer front bill is perfect for fly fishing in bright sunlight, the flexible back allows the hat to stay on when I tilt my head back while wearing my daypack, and the double layer construction prevents biting insects from drilling into my scalp. I would recommend Shelta hats without reservation.
  • I finally had the opportunity to try out the new Shelta T shirt while kayaking. When compared to the old style Shelta T, these are better in every category. I was a little hesitant since they are a little on the pricey side and I was unable to get a reply from Shelta on a few questions I had regarding the new style. I went ahead a pulled the trigger anyway on 3 short sleeve t’s, and I’m not disappointed at all. One thing that is worth mentioning is that the high vis orange and yellow are extremely bright, and you will be seen from a mile away. I have never owned a more comfortable t shirt… Well done Shelta!
  • Started with a Seahawk while on active duty with the USCG. Added a Firebird V2 to the collection when I retired and moved out to AZ. Loved it so much I bought one for each of my boys- 14 and 9 (fit perfectly- M/L and S/M). AZ will cook a ginger family in the summer so I needed something more. This shirt absolutely fits the bill. The hood covers generously without being obnoxious and the sleeves are even made to cover the back of your hands if desired- who woulda thought?! I love it so much I’ll be adding a few more to the queue shortly. If you don’t have one, get one. You wont regret it.
  • I was skeptical that I would like a $70 hat, but this thing is amazing. Fit was great. Even awesome with my sunglasses. The tech is on point and you see it throughout the hat. I’m already looking for my next color.
  • “This is the first bucket hat I’ve had where I am not constantly fighting the brim flopping around while at top speed in my boat. I just fished for 6 days straight with this had with a couple of days of very high winds. I forgot I had it on most of time. Very light and comfortable. I highly recommend this hat, I have the Condor.
  • I was skeptical because of the price but my wife saw and said I had to buy it. I should listen to her more often! :)”
  • Bought a Seahawk back in May. Been wearing it on the pontoon all summer and 2 beach trips. Great hat, the no flop brim actually works! Great quality product.
  • “I was looking for a good hat for sailing, and had been frustrated that sun hats usually had floppy brims.
  • So far the condor hat has been excellent – comfortable l/xl with my big head!
  • The hat seems to tolerate being wet very well. It dries fairly quickly and the brim holds up.”
  • “I have 5 Shelta’s. I hike, play golf, ride my bike using all of these. I have never owned a better hat. In NC heat,
  • they get a little hot but most golf hats are hot. More ventilation would help some but I just take it off when I get in the cart and let my head cool some. I would say anyone needing a well built hat should invest in a Shelta.”
  • Worth every penny, excited to try this hunting pronghorn in a couple weeks, Bill is firm and stays out of the face to allow for binoculars and scopes to easily be used without hindrance, breathes very well and provides plenty of shade, Ill be buying more of these in the future, even got the desert camo I wanted and couldn’t be happier. Finally it fits my head where the one size fits all are always too small
  • Had this hat for over, four years now. used it on the boat all the time, and yes it floats. love my osprey hat the day i bought it, and still love it. great hat, in the rain. worth every penny, if you like great hats. buy one, you’ll never regret it.
  • I just got a condor in time to go sailing in the Bahamas. It’s my new favorite, and I wish I’d known about it sooner. The brim stayed in place, even in 25 knot winds, and with the strap, the hat stayed on even if the wind got under the brim. And, when I inadvertently fell in trying to get back on the sailboat from a skiff, the hat stayed on and the water soaking didn’t faze it. Love this hat — and I’m very glad I got the wider brim. More protection but still plenty of vision.
  • I have been in the garden construction business for 45 years and never found the right hat………until now. No more style less, floppy brim hats or baseball caps that offer no protection. I can wear any of my sunglasses and they don’t bump the brim. I will be ordering a couple more for my wife and myself.
  • Own both Seahawk and Condor. Needed a hat that would keep the sun off during long days on the practice tee and golf course. They are both great. The Seahawk is my go to when on the water flying around on my SeaDoo. Condor is for golf activity .. breathes well and keeps me from frying.
  • I just got two of these shirts and they are awesome! Great features, perfect fit. Everything I get from Shelta is worth the money. Premium gear! Thanks !
  • The Condor is the best bucket hat I have ever purchased. It’s not easy finding a good hat in 7 7/8 size let alone one like a bucket hat. The no-flip innovation is genius. I was skeptical about paying this much for a hat, but I have ZERO regrets. Finally a product worth purchasing. I wore it in West Texas in 103 temps for 3 days and survived no sunburn anywhere on my head or face. I’m already scoping out my next model!
  • I don’t usually leave product reviews but I absolutely love this hat. Very light-weight and probably the most comfortable ball-style cap I’ve ever worn. Exactly what I was looking for. Now I just need them to make it in black and I’ll buy another one.
  • I have three shelta hats of different styles & colors that I use for Watersports. Water skiing, surfing & sailing. The no flop brim works perfectly at speed in and out of the water, providing superior all day sun protection. They wash up well after use in salt water. Simply the best performance sun hat on the market.
  • I got my hat just before I took a trip to Kentucky Lake in Tennessee. Went out in the boat a couple times and never began to feel like my hat was going to fly off once. Very comfortable fit, even went swimming with my hat on.. My favorite hat when I’m doing yard work. I will recommend this hat for any one wondering!!
  • “I am age 70. I am also a two time survivor of skin cancer. Additionally I walk outside 3.5 miles 5 to 6 days per week. Previously I have worn military style boonie hats.
  • After searching for many months for a better hat, I found Shelta Hats. I ordered the Condor receiving my Condor on June 7, 2022.
  • I wore the Condor today, June 8, for my daily walk. The Condor is AWESOME!! Much more comfortable……and cooler…..than the old military boonie. My only regret is not finding, and purchasing the Shelta Condor sooner.
  • Purchasing a Shelta Hat was the best $74.50 I have ever spent.”
  • This is nice . My new fav hat to wear . Lightweight-breathable . I ordered the s/m . I wouldn’t mind the adjustable velcro to be shorter or say this s/m to fit smaller heads more so better . More colors and camos needed .
  • Size cinch makes for a perfect fit. Bought this for sun coverage on the water. Secure in the wind, and it has a strap that can easily be hidden when not under way.
  • As the owner of many types of hats, including 4 in the Tilley line, I feel like the Firebird V2 is an outstanding edition for my uses which are mainly hiking, walking and fishing. First, its competitively priced to the slightly lighter Tilleys and comes with what feels like superior materials. Second, the underside of the brim provides glare reduction. The outside front pocket above the brim seemed a bit superficial (could place bills or foldable ID cards in it but won’t allow a credit card to be completely pocketed). I placed my foldable pace maker ID card in it and unfolded the card after installation. As anticipated, it formed a nice front shape to the hat. And, while it may not be the greatest looking hat, (kind of resembles the hats worn by lawn care/gardening techs) it comes in a pleasant variety of colors ( I chose SB Camo). To be fair though, some Tilleys are known for that retirement look. To each his own, I guess. As for the front brim not flopping on the Shelta, thats what makes it a winner especially in windy conditions. Lastly, for me, unlike some of the other Shelta hats, the Firebird has more effective brim area to help keep most of the sun off your face and neck, but not so much that it feels bulky. In short, I would recommend this hat to anyone willing to spend a little more to get a very versatile, quality hat.
  • The Shelta Assault is outstanding for playing in the surf with my kids, going on long walks, or fishing. The hood and hand covers are awesome features for the intense Florida sun. I plan on buying another one. Love that I can attach my Shelta hat lanyard to the neck for safe keeping.
  • “I don’t kayak, or do extreme water sports. I was looking for a sun hat for out on my boat and for golfing. I own a Tilley Airflo hat and although I like it, the strap was odd (had to modify) and I felt as though the brim was too wide for golfing/boating. I also own a Mission Boonie hat, but the bring is wimpy and falls up/down in the wind. Then I stumbled upon Shelta hats. Interesting look and design with some positive reviews. I took a chance and ordered right from their website.
  • Got my Raptor V2 about a month ago (I wear a 7 3/8″” in Stormy Kromer, 7 7/8″” in Tilley and ordered the LG/XL from Shelta – fits great) and loved it right out of the box. Lightweight, fit fantastic and the look, while different, wasn’t too bad. I was going to order the Seahawk (still might) but went with the smaller brim on the Raptor.
  • So far, has handled a boat ride with 15 mph winds, multiple golf outings and everyday yardwork without an issue. Lightweight, breathable and very functional. Great chin strap design and function with the ability to tighten it slightly with the drawstring. It stays on my head even without the chinstrap tightened. Wicks moisture.
  • I got the silver/white and it is a great color. Not pure white, not silver. Looks good.
  • If you are thinking about an all purpose hat, for golf, boating or whatever your activity – this one is definitely worth the money (quick delivery as well).”
  • I finally had the chance to try out my new Shelta Condor hat today, and I could not be more delighted. At first, I thought it was going to be too large, as it was resting atop my sunglasses, but then I remembered the size cinch and was able to get a perfect fit. For the first time in 19 years of boating, I was NOT holding onto my hat (or giving up entirely and taking it off) when we were underway. It also kept my head much cooler than I expected and was so comfortable that, were it not for the chin strap, I could have forgotten I was wearing it. I am pretty sure I said, “I love this hat,” about a dozen times today while we were on the boat. When my husband ordered the hat for me, I said, “It’s too expensive – unless it actually works as promised.” Well, it works exactly as promised, and I could not be more delighted. This really is the boating hat I have been looking for all this time. Thanks for a great product!
  • After a month of using this hat for hiking and fishing the versatility and performance are second to none. I often sweat and when I do this hat has yet to yield a single sweat stain. Additionally, their are enough cords on this hat to make it secure and ensure a good, comfortable fit. The outer pocket on the front just above the brim is extremely useful and unobtrusive. The S.B. Camo looks great and the feel and material weight is excellent. This Firebird V2 provides exceptional sun protection while the stiff brim allows for line of sight even in windy conditions.
  • Overall a great hat. I bow hunt with a longbow and the no-flop brim stays out of the way of my string(at least for me). It gives me sun protection, is incredibly lightweight, and feels great on. My head has never overheated, even in 90° weather with 80% humidity. It has been on several adventures and is going with me to Utah for elk season this year. I plan on buying one in blaze orange for upland bird hunting as well.
  • “My new Seahawk is the perfect accessory for a life at the beach and on the water. It provides the right amount of sun protection without obstructing my vision and is light enough to be unobtrusive with any of my activities. Both on and off the water.
  • I wish I had bought one sooner!”
  • it is great to find a bucket hat that fits without squeezing my head. it fits great and looks phenomenal.
  • It fits perfectly under the shelter hats, breaks the wind, keeps ears warm.
  • It is hard for me to get a hat to fit my head properly. This hat is comfortable, adjustable, and the quality of material and workmanship is impressive. I sent my first hat back for another color and the Customer Service was quick, friendly, and efficient.
  • I live in Arizona and run 30 miles a week in this hat. It stays cool as any hat you can really be active in. I can wash it with a hose and it will be dry and clean by the afternoon pool party. It’s a light color but stays clean all the time despite doing woodworking in it. It really durable. Boats and high wind, it does great, no flop. I have used it in Alaska and Colombia in the rainforest and always performs well. It does cost more but you get what you want. A little over two years now of owning it and I won’t buy another sun hat.
  • A year later, and I stick to my opinion. This is the king of technical sun hats for extreme heat. I have taken to running in serious heat to condition / acclimate, and you just can’t beat this hat for that purpose.
  • The brim of my old sun hat just couldn’t handle with wind when I was out paddleboarding; front of the brim was either bent down into my eyes or bent up flat against the crown. I saw the Shelta hats after searching online for “no flop” sun hats, and I could not be more pleased. The Osprey fit perfectly and did great out on the windy lake. So happy with it, I ordered a Seahawk for anytime I want a little more coverage on the sides (like when I am doing yardwork when I’d rather be out paddling!). Really great hats for standing up to wind!
  • “I could count the number of product reviews I’ve written on one hand, but this hat is worth taking the time for. I recently decided to ditch my Seahawk (which I also love) for backpacking and move to a cap/hoody combo, due to the Seahawk brim hitting the top of my pack constantly. I’ve tried on a ton of caps and the Icarus is by far the best. Why:
  • -Maintains the front structure of a ballcap, but with the weight of an unstructured running cap. The material is extremely thin yet durable. This is ultralight sun protection. The bill is solid and won’t flop around.
  • -Extremely comfortable. The velcro hook and loop along with tiny elastic tab makes a perfect fit possible. The “”no top button”” style is great for pairing with a hoody or helmet.
  • -I’ve never had a polyester hat that didn’t get sweat stained. This one will definitely show sweat marks after a long hot day, but so far, all it has taken is a quick rinse in the sink and the hat is spotless once dried. I hope this holds out! The material dries quick.
  • -Reflective materials are a nice bonus for finding in the dark or emergency scenarios. The reflective areas are subtle and the hat will absolutely fit right in for everyday/casual use.
  • For all-day sun on the river or beach, I’ll still bring my Seahawk, but for an all-around adventure cap I’m so glad I’ve finally found the one! I picked up the grey for backpacking and just ordered the white for golf. Make more colors and I’ll get them too! You guys are killing it!”
  • Saw these hats on line for a while. I thought too expensive. But at Glacier National Park this past July, I needed a better Sun block and non floppy visor. And good looking. I purchased a Shelta at an outfitter at Glacier. Same price. Best purchase I made. Used for fly fishing and hiking. Love the features- different positions for strap, non-flop visor, mesh interior and air vents. Got the solid gray. May purchase the Coast Guard Orange!!
  • “Let me first say that I am pretty particular when it comes to hats. Most of the times I don’t wear them because I just don’t like how they typically fit, or sit in my head shape. When I find a hat I enjoy, I wear it until its not longer held together.
  • I am currently LOVING my new Shelta V2 hat. I know when I see that other hats from other companies only offer the standard one size fits most, I know it doesn’t apply to me. The fact that you offer 3 distinct adjustable sizes to find my perfect fit is something that sets you apart. I love the fabric of the V2, and how lightweight it is. I wore it all day outside and not once did it feel uncomfortable or heavy. The fact that you have 3 distinct styles on the profiles of your hat selection allows me to find the perfect hat for my style. I plan on buying a few more because I am so happy with your product. My only complaint is that I wish you offered a larger selection in color options.
  • a
  • Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for making the V2, a cap that truly has made me so happy.”
  • Pretty much what you would expect if you are a Shelta customer. Quality seems really good and the pattern is great. I wear an XL in Aftco and Columbia shirts and they fit perfect. The Shelta ran slightly small for me, little short in the sleeves and front hem, so I plan to exchange for a XXL. The only other brand I have this issue with is Huk so maybe Im a tweener and need to hit the gym some. Anyway love the products!
  • Love this hat. Got in a s//m and fits a size 7 hat size perfecto – no strap adjustment needed. Although they say no stretch, it will accommodate slightly smaller or larger with the same results. Looks good, feels good, wears very good. Can anyone who loves balls caps skip this one? I think not

  • “Even though this is my 1st Sun Hat I did a ton of research and the way this looks feels and breaths is flat out awesome, as Shelta themselves would sat, “”stoked””.
  • Excellent shield from the sun and I already worked in it and had a cold beverage and barbecue, win win! :)”
  • I’ve been using this hat for about 6 weeks now in my lawn business and love it. I cut one yard this week in a heavy rain and the front brim stays solid with no drooping in your face like other hats. At the end of the week I wash it with shampoo and hang it on my porch to dry and it still looks new. I highly recommend this hat. Its not cheap, but you get what you pay for.
  • Just ordered my 3rd Shelta Seahawk in addition to one Osprey. The Seahawk is versatile-Jungle, desert, mountain summits, on the ocean, forest, at the beach etc. It handles a strong wind and ventilates better than any hat I own. Stuff it in a pack or luggage. In Belize, I took an unplanned, 1/4 mile swim when the paddle on my rental SUP broke. “Side stroke, back stroke, swim to the shore…” The rigid brim held its shape – even under water and remained on my head during this adventure. Hiking, yard work, working out, on vacation, hunting, fly fishing while wearing this versatile hat. I was introduced to the boonie hat while in the infantry. Not as soft as my mil spec boonie hats, but it works better in rain, snow, wind, and in the water. Modern materials, design, and construction contribute to the expense-but well worth it. 65, avid outdoorsman from N. Arizona. Thank you!
  • I’ve been wearing this for well over a year now. It has held up great and plan on buying a second one in a different color. I use it for yard work, beach trips, hiking, and everything in between. It’s not cheap but definitely work it.
  • After buying my first Shelta, a Seahawk in South Carolina, I have been wearing it daily for 4 years while walking my dogs in the morning. It is my go to hat for soccer games, travel, and anything else outdoors. I have noticed in summer months I sweat quite a bit and always thought it would be great if it was a little more ventilated. I received the email from Shelta announcing the Landhawk, read the description, and knew it was going to be great. I have a huge melon so the XXXL just fits (another reason I love Shelta). I got it a couple weeks ago and could not be happier. I love the SB Camo. It is a really nice Gray Camo and I can tell the ventilation is better. My head still sweats but not nearly as much. After 4 years I was probably needing an upgrade too. Now I can use my seahawk on cooler days in spring and fall. How about a winter Shelta hat that is insulated??
  • Had this hat for over a month now and being a very frugal type I’ve got to say this hat is worth every penny. I was originally going for the sea hawk but due to camo color availability went with this one instead. So glad I did. The cooling ability of the crown is superb. Please add some darker camo thanks.
  • Firebird V2 in Texas 100+ degree heat is doing its job. Wind has not been an issue like my other hats. I do sweat it out on the golf range and wish color selection was better for a 2nd hat to swap out during a round or practice. Otherwise, awesome product that’s worth the price. Pull the trigger and give your skin a break if you’re a golfer or outdoor enthusiast.
  • “Been sea kayaking with a Shelia Osprey for 2 years now – in sun, wind and rain (think British Columbia winter rain downpours) and with regular dunkings as I’ve wet-exited and such. These hats are tough, dependable and great protection.
  • Love the no-flop brim – so good on windy days.
  • Love the shape and design, and the ability to add the neck cover on sunny days.
  • Love the cord system – and how easy it makes hanging it out to dry.
  • It has changed color now from all the sun and abuse it has taken, and I imagine there will be another one on order sometime in the not too distant future.
  • One request: a Goretex version for those days when the rain keeps coming!”

  • I’ve had the Seahawk hat for a little while now. It really is much better than the previous hat I used. I use it for kiting in the ocean, both foiling and regular kiting. The Seahawk fits really nice on my head (snug, but not tight). The no flop really works, even when its really windy. It rarely comes of my head when I wipe out, & when it does, the fact that it floats & the orange color is easy to spot. I like that the material dries really fast after I come out if the water. It gives me much more protection from the sun than a cap, which I used to wear a while back. Strongly recommend it for anyone looking for a good Gad to use while doing any kind of water sport!
  • Professional photographer in Atlanta. Spend a month each year on Safari in Africa and used a Tilly in the past. This year a Shelta Condor…sensational: perfect fit (adjustable as opposed to Tilly), material, molded front…fantastic upgrade. Worth whatever it cost. Go for it…don’t even think about it
  • I came across my first Shelta Sea Hawk at Scheels a couple years ago. It was an XXXL and I was at first just excited to try on a hat that fit my giant head. Since then I have grown to rely on and love the hat. I’m in Minnesota and have been enjoying it during summer months at the cabin, on the water, at kids sporting events, doing yard work or having a drink out in the sun, you name it. My brother joined in with one and he loves it too. I just bought a Condor Performance Field Khaki and a hooded Shelta Sun Shirt The Shelta Assault Im excited to put these to good use this summer. I’ve tried a number of hats before this and there really is nothing worse than a floppy hat brim shielding your vision when wet or the wind blowing it down. The design, functionality and quality of materials I Shelta hats is unmatched. My personal hack with these Shelta Hats is that I don’t actually need a full XXXL but I like being able to tuck my giant ears inside the cap and pull it down low. I recommend trying it, game changer.

  • “PLEASE FOR THE LOVE, MAKE THIS HAT IN BLACK.
  • also, please make more of the dark cammo pattern that is always sold out.
  • Love the Hat. No flop is amazing. I have a big head (size 7 3/4.) XXL fits perfectly. BIG HEADS UNITE!!!”
  • I’m an avid kayaker. I’ve had wide brimmed hats from other major outfitters that flapped with any amount of breeze. I’ve also had the baseball style hat with the drop down sun shield in the back, which I found stifling in the sun. My new Shelta solves both these issues. I recently was out on a large lake on a sunny, breezy day, and this hat made my day. I also spent several extremely hot windy days on the Texas gulf coast, and this hat kept my balding head from sunburn without restricting my vision nor the air flow. I love the stiff front brim. Yes, you can buy a cheaper hat, but I think this hat is worth every penny.
  • Just received the Shelta V2 Tech Hat in white and will say it is an excellent cap! Fits great, very well made and detailed, excellent fabric choice. It always seems difficult to find a well made, great fitting cap. The SPF protection is a huge added bonus. The Tech Hat fits the bill in all areas. (Would love to see it made in Patrol Navy…!) Thank you Shelta.
  • I must admit, I was hesitant to spend $75 on this hat but am so glad I did! I’ve purchased countless sun hats over the years and have never found one I really loved until now. The quality is top notch. I use it for everything from fishing, to surfing, to coaching football, and even just doing yardwork. It’s really light and cool, but the no flop brim is definitely the best feature. I plan to order a second one in O.D. Camo once my size is back is stock. Thanks for designing a fantastic hat!!!
  • Great Hat! The Seahawk is my favorite by far. We’ve had ours for almost 2 years. I got one for myself and one for my wife. She loves hers too! I use mine surfing or when I’m doing work in the yard. These hats are excellent quality and hold up very well. Customer Service is top notch! Thanks Jurgen for always being super-helpful! Highly Recommend!
  • I bought this hat with kitesurfing in mind. I needed a boonie-style hat with a no-flop visor. This hat has exceeded my expectations! The no flop brim stays in place and it’s perfect for sun coverage in the wind. In that past year, I’ve used it kiting, surfing, running, fishing, and even some backcountry spring skiing. It has become my go-to hat for an outdoor lifestyle. Check out my video review here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5V02Y41dl4
  • “These are great caps!
  • My dad wears a ton of different baseball hats so I got this to add to his collection. He love’s it!”
  • I’ve owned my Shelta Condor for three years now. I wanted a hat with a wide brim for max sun protection but have been frustrated by other hats where the wide brim is floppy and obstructing my view. The Shelta brim is stiff and stays out of my field of vision. It’s lightweight and dry’s quickly. I’m bald so I’m wearing this to protect my scalp from frying. I’m using it for hiking, yard work, cycling and also sailing. I’ve been out in 30 knots of wind with this hat, chin strap cinched down tight and it’s just great! I’m currently down in Puerto Rico for a few months and I’m loving this hat–really keeping the sun off my face, ears and neck. I’m wearing it in the ocean most every day. I just rinse with fresh water after and it dries within 15-20 minutes. I’m generally not a fan-boy about my gear. I buy good stuff and expect it to work and work hard. These hats do that.
  • I needed a hat that would stay secure and block the sun better than the baseball cap that I usually wear . I’m on the beach flying kites in pretty high wind conditions, The Firebird V2 is the best protection from not only the sun and wind but is also durable against the driving sand on those really windy days. I’m constantly looking up at the sky, so the wide brim keeps the sun out of my eyes, and the strap keeps the wind from blowing it off my head. The stiff brim doesn’t collapse, so I can always see where my kite it at all times. . I wore this hat yesterday for about ten hours straight, it stayed cool and comfortable, and no sunburn! Grab yourself a kite, and a Firebird V2.
  • I have had this hat for over 3 years. It has some wear but I use it exclusively all summer sailing the Great Lakes. The no flop brim is a game changer. High winds I just strap in and reef the main! This hat is hands down the absolute best. It is still holding up and I will be using it for years to come. Do not hesitate. There’s no other options on the market. This company has produced a great product that you will enjoy.
  • This is a great hat for surfing! Much needed protection for the mid-day sun out in the water. With the narrow brim, it actually stays on when duck-diving! I got my Osprey about 2 years ago and it looks as good as the day I got it!
  • This is well made and comfortable, I like how the brim stays stiff and the size is adjustable. Havent had the type of weather here in WNY to try it out since a bought it to use when I golf in the rain.
  • I have always burned in the sun, so I need protection, and this is the hat I went with after lots of market research. I bought this hat for a cruise in June, so I haven’t really put it to the test. From what little I have worn it I would say its well-made and worth the money. I had to get orange because I like orange.
  • I’ve been searching for a hat that would both protect me from the sun and stay on my head. The formed brim and back adjustment strap make this hat a dream on the water at any speed. Additionally I clip the leash to my wet suit as a safety measure, but after two weeks of use it has not come off yet. As an added bonus, I got it in Orange so it’s easy to spot which my wife loves as she watches me from the beach out among a sea of other Kiteboarders.
  • I was skeptical at first but got it after wearing my hat kayaking.
  • Great hat ! Works as advertised!
  • Great design – from the material to the styling to the quality. Having the option to order the correct size is “huge” when you have a big head – no one size fits all nonsense. It is super comfortable and all the features come together to easily make it my favorite hat.
  • Great fit, great sun protection / coverage. I have one at home and one at the river. Highly recommend.
  • This is my second Shelta Seahawk sun hat….bought the first one about 6 years ago & used extensively for all kinds of activities like running jet sled up Deschutes river for trout and steelhead fishing, kayaking, biking, running around in our T-bird convertible, and hanging out in backyard barbecuing. Not a single negative thing I can complain about w/ this hat, so I bought another in a different color. This hat is made to do everything in & not worry, or to do nothing at all & know your protected. Also nice to have a quality hat in XXL.
  • Great hat and cant wait to use it in St. Lucia
  • “Very well made & designed, Extremely light weight and yet very durable.
  • The big plus for me is that you make an XXL size which caught my attention, so I intend to also buy the grey one as well.”
  • Already have three Seahawks in various colors. I bought this because my other three were stained and my wife wanted something for me to bring along on a trip that looked fresh. Little did I know that using your instructions on using baking soda would work so well, it could have saved me the money. Glad to have the black color though.
  • Favorite hat for sailboat racing! Quality materials and construction; excellent value. Although more “robust” than other hats I’ve used, the breathability is on par with flimsier hats that end up obstructing vision or require constant adjustment. Highly recommended!
  • This hat fits great and can be adjusted to accommodate different wind conditions. The front brim is classic Shelta and does a great job staying in place. The new venting makes the hat so much more comfortable when out on a hot day for an extended period. I had the prior version (pocket up top) and the lack of ventilation was the only drawback. This rendition eliminates that issue.
  • This hat is so comfortable that after a couple minutes yo will forget it’s on your head . No flop , clear field of vision , lightweight . So many plusses that I can’t even begin to tell you them all , love these hats , I now have 2
  • I purchased this on a whim. I have a convertible and I need a hat the could stay on, and the brim stayed upright. This hat was perfect. I’ve been driving at freeway speeds plus, and the hat stays put. Great product.
  • I highly recommend this hat. I was impressed with the quality and how light weight it was. I bought it primarily for when out on my bass boat. I was very happy when I was cruising along at about 60 mph and the hat and brim stayed put. I didn’t even have the neck strap around my neck. Only a little vibration in the bill of the hat that was settled down by touching it for when I needed to focus on where I was going. Better than any other hats I’ve worn that would just flop into my field of view being useless. Does a great job shielding my face, ears, head, and neck from the hot Texas sun. I would definitely buy another one if I wanted a different style or color as I don’t see this one wearing out anytime soon.
  • This hat is outstanding. Every detail is amazing, from the reversable strap, to the attachable neck protection. The absolute best part is the rigid front brim that won’t collapse in your face or blow straight up. Wish I had something like this years ago. Great job!
  • This is my second buy! Someone while in Sandals Antiqua which I do not recommend; food terrible, like my hat more than me I guess. So I bought two more. First and main reason is I have a large head; Size 8 and there are very few hats that fit my head. The no flap bill is awesome while driving the boat and overall the quality it top notch! Cannot go wrong with these hats! Thanks Shelta!
  • Own 2 Condors and now a Raptor including a neck shield, love Shelta hats! 🙂
  • This is my third Seahawk! Hat performs to perfection. This hat is multi use for me – whether at the beach, working or in a bass boat, couldn’t ask for better sun protection! Fit is comfortable and true to size. Light weight material dries quickly and holds its form while providing maximum protection from the sun.
  • I drive a tractor trailer local here in northwest Georgia and I’m constantly in and out of the truck. I’ve always loved these styles of hats but hated that when they got wet the brim did anything but stay the way you wanted and if you wear glasses these hats are almost a God send lol. In closing these hats do everything and then some!
  • Got this for my son as he just started working in construction – he is 19 so still wants to look good – and has a 7 5/8 fitted hat size and fairly thick hair. The L/XL fit him perfectly. Its really light and thin but not flimsy . He said it was comfortable and looks awesome
  • I like Luis size
  • My second purchase! Great product
  • Only thing missing is a white hat. I used to use Imperial hats
  • Love it.
  • Not my first purchase, and it won’t be the last!
  • Keeps the sun off my head and is comfortable to wear. Nice features
  • Love the hat. Perfect to block the Florida sunshine. The hat bill is what sold me on this hat. Better made and not floppy like other brands I have owned. I certainly recommend this hat and looking forward to buying a 2nd hat.
  • The do everything go every where hat. Golf, float the river, run errands. With the smaller brimmed model it never gets in the way
  • I’ve worn this hat for three years now as a marine search and rescue volunteer. Its perfect under a headset, over a thin watch cap and in all conditions. I love it.
  • I got this shirt just before a trip to Costa Rica. I wore it in the jungle as well as in the waves at the beach. The excellent coverage on my head and hands made a huge difference and it is truly one of the most comfortable shirts I have ever owned for this purpose. The drawstrings are affective and having a small pocket was clutch. Later this summer, I will be testing it out in the desert – I may even get a second one so I can switch it up. I highly recommend this sun shirt.
  • wares real well
  • I live outside of Tucson where the sun will melt you in the summer. A sun hat is a must. Other hats had the flop in the wind which is super annoying. Problem solved with Shelta. Buy one and be done looking for a sun hat!!
  • I own three of these hats. I have a lawn maintenance business in North Florida and these are my go to hats for tending to lawns. They ar super easy to wash and dry which is a plus because they need washing on a regular basis.
  • Love the stiff brim. Hat stays on even at 30mph.
  • “I film sports and from time to time my old, trusty floppy hat’s brim will fly up on windy days to reveal a frightening reflection of myself.
  • To eliminate this problem, I bought the Condor. Best hat purchase I’ve ever made.
  • I’ll continue to wear my floppy hat for doing chores around the house and to chase the neighborhood kids off of my lawn, but for work I’ll only wear my Shelta Condor from now on.
  • Great hat!”
  • So far I love my land hawk hat. Bottom line, this is the best sun hat I have ever worn.
  • I love the great sun protection, wide brim and most of all the non floppy brim, so much better on a windy day!
  • Been using it for fishing on my boat since I received it. It is the best sun hat I own. Stays on my head and protects from the sun.
  • I never thought I could truly replace my old boonie….it was mine from the service, I loved it, but it eventually just came apart. How do you replace a part of your past? By getting something more worthy and so much better! Lighter, cooler, not flopping in your eyes. Wow. Just wow!
  • Perfect in all regards. Where have you been all my life.
  • I was skeptical that the Seahawk would stay on my head in the wind. So far it has! Excellent hat with a stiff brim.
  • I wear this hat primarily for sun protection. I was thrilled to find out that you can curl the stiff front portion to your liking…out of the box it didn’t look quite right, but after a bit of curving it down with my hands, it sits perfectly and looks sharp.
  • I love the stiff brim, the color (orange) and the breathable top.
  • Just as I expected!
  • These hats are well designed and made. They cover all the bases – a neat removable chin strap that has a snap hook on it to clip to your shirt for extra protection or to hang it on the wall. There’s a little sturdy loop on the back that can be used to hang it up or to connect a wind strap that’s connect to the back of your shirt. The tightening strap built into the hat is perfect. Just a great thing to have!!!
  • Comfortable and adjustable for any wind conditions even running 70 on the lake.
  • Received the hats in a timely matter as always, they are great! This is my fifth hat , just because of all the colors.
  • Quality is very good. Very fast shipping. Thanks,
  • Love it. It’s everything they said it would be and I’d buy it again.
  • Great fit, enough brim to keep the sun at bay without interfering with my golf swing. Not exactly a “classic” look for golf, but as long as it takes care of the sun then I’m good. Unfortunately it hasn’t improved my swing.
  • I’ve always been a ball cap wearer. My Shelta provides better coverage, is light, and comfortable . I wore it running yesterday and its perfect. Well-made, not too dorky looking, and effective. Im happy with it.
  • Great hat that is comfortable, good looking, and perfect for blocking sun while doing a variety of outdoor activities.
  • El mejor sombrero que he tenido
  • My second Shelta hat, my Seahawk is 7yrs old and still going strong, it was retired from work for just yard work duty. I purchased a Condor for more coverage from the sun on Commercial HVAC RTUs. They clean up well and sweat and dirt accumulate. These are quality products and worth the money, the molded brim and lanyard are a must for windy days. Its also a huge plus to offer the larger sizes. The XXL fits great for my 7-3/4 sized dome.
  • Great hat, I don’t know of any better!
  • This hat does it all. Easy to care for. Fits great.
  • This is my third Shelia Hat. I purchased another to add another color to my collection. I have a ginormous bucket head and Shelta’s larger hats fit. The hats are very well made. I have worn my hats a lot and they still look perfect. They breath well and if they get wet they dry quickly. The neck guards are a wonderful accessory that helps to keep you cool as well as keep the sun off your neck. I will, without a doubt buy another in the future. Id actually would love to have one of every color. They offer. Thank you Shelta for making great products!
  • Great product! Performs Exactly as advertised. Would definitely buy again!
  • Excellent! The Osprey’s narrow brim serves my purpose as I wear ear protection often, as well as providing sun protection. I think I will pick up a Shelta Sea Hawk to complement The Osprey.
  • I just returned from a Whitewater rafting trip in the Grand Canyon. I had another brand of hat, and my son wore a Shelta which he had bought for the trip after doing some research. His hat was amazing, mine flopped all over the place and drove me crazy. As soon as I got back from the Grand Canyon, I ordered three different styles of hats from Shelta and the Raptor fit me the best. And has the best sun coverage. I ordered it in dirty green although one of the other hats that I ordered that I did not keep was silver and it was also a very lovely color. It was a hard decision which one to keep. My sons was the dark grey which I liked a lot but he didn’t want me matching him on future trips. I am sure this hat will serve me for years to come.
  • Finally, a hat that fits! Great quality and style. very comfortable and love the no flop brim!
  • Awesome
  • Love the fit and feel!! Well worth the $ and love the face cover as well.
  • Shelta bills the Seahawk as a hat for water sports. But, it is so much more. I purchased in Camo a couple of years ago to wear dog training and competing in retriever field trials. The hat is light weight, comfortable to wear for many hours on end, and much better than a billed cap in wind, sun and rain. I liked it so much, I just bought a second Seahawk in Field Khaki to wear around town.
  • I’ve had this hat (Seahawk) for over five years and it’s the best and most comfortable hat I’ve ever had. The light cooling material, the no-flop brim and chin strap feature make it unbeatable. I plan to get another one soon just to have another color choice to wear. I have the light camo now, which is very nice but maybe navy blue next time. I’m also getting one today for my dad for Fathers Day.
  • Works great. Especially the big wind days. No flop for sure. Very comfortable. Thanks .. worth it.
  • Perfect fit for my small head. So comfortable II use it paddle boarding, kayaking and hiking. The color is orange, not red, but is great because I want to be seen in the woods or on water.
  • Great fitting hat, awesome for working, playing golf and lounging in the pool.
  • I just went to lake Havasu with my new hat. It fits great and protected my head, face and neck from sunburn. Wearing it on the boat at 45mph the hat held its shape and did not flip down over my eyes.
  • This is my second shelta hat. I needed to keep one in one place and the second in another so they’d always be handy.
  • Love the high quality, style, design, and service!
  • G
  • Great hat. Just what I was looking for with the no flop brim. It’s my new go-to hat for the Bahamas!!
  • Great hats! Bought 3 so far…love the quality and the different styles you can get. Fast shipping too! showed up just in time for an African safari…then back fishing for trout!
  • Wore a Seahwalk for six days of fly fishing in Punta Allen Mexico this year. Great in the wind while getting out into the bay, helped keep rain and sea spray out of my face and was cool in the sun!
  • Great hat for outdoor projects and hiking. Wanted to keep sun off my ears and neck while working on a church construction project in GA. Preformed great. Fit guide was spot on for a perfect fit. I love all the adjustments that can be made. Highly recommend.
  • Fits a little snug but is a great hat especially in high winds.
  • Nice hat
  • Love the wider brin
  • Really like this hat XXL fits my big head nicely. Like the structured brim and clip to hold the strap back when not needed.
  • My third hat purchased from Shelta and by far my favorite. Excellent hat all the way around. Keep up the good work!
  • Best hat I have ever owned. Brim is extra firm so the wind is never an issue. The only hat I wear out fishing and general everyday use. No more sunburn on my neck and ears. Hat is light weight to keep the heat away and adjusts easily to just the right size. Comfortable and cool!!
  • “I own three. Need the sun protection on top and these are great!
  • The grey camo is. well different. Haha. Looks pre sweat stained. A really odd camo design But I’m happy enough. I bought it for the sun protection and not the design”
  • Instructions come with the hat to shape the front brim and if you are like me and your head is more oval than round shaped, you will need to do a bit for the hat to be comfortable and not press on the front and back of your head. But DO NOT order a bigger hat because of this. Just take some time to shape it so the brim bends around to accommodate an oval head shape.
  • This hat does exactly as advertised. Its a great hat if your working in the sun. I happen to be teaching tennis and Pickleball. I’m getting pounded by the sun. This hat keeps the sun off my face ears neck.
  • The no flop brim works terrific on my sailboat. I especially like the the slightly flat portion in the front to give better vision without the brim getting in the way.
  • Just got back from Hiking 4 days in sun and high humidity.! I put my Landhawk through the test. Excellent coverage of face and even neck. What was immediately noticeable was even with heavy sweating there was not one time that the outside of the hat was wet. The sweat was wicked onto the inside of the hat and then evaporated through the air flow in vents. You got to buy at least one !!
  • This hat is exactly what I was looking for. Fit was true to size. Love the slim look and knew as soon as I first pulled it from the box It was a quality hat. Well done Shelta!
  • Does the job! Great hat!
  • I’ve had Mohs surgery for skin cancer four times on my face and need to stay in the shade as much as I can. Purchased hat for riding bike, tennis and pickleball but have also found it useful while I preflight my airplane in the bright Alabama / NW Florida sunshine.
  • “I purchased the two different styles of hats individually. I enjoy both, but there are some differences that I feel should be better explained.
  • My initial purchase was for a XXXL Condor in the standard grey, however when I received my hat I received a Seahawk style hat in the size and color that I had requested. Being that the hat that I received was not what I ordered I contacted customer service and informed them of the error and that after trying the hat on I decided to go down one size to the XXL. The return process was extremely easy and I received my XXL Condor hat in grey about 1 week later. The Condor is a bit on the snug side due to the different style of cap, but I am still more than satisfied with the hat overall. The Seahawk’s standard bucket type skull cap provides more room than the Condor’s sport skull cap. After experiencing this snugness I ordered an XXL Seahawk and am extremely happy with the fit and coverage provided by it.”
  • Awesome hat I highly recommend it.
  • “This is super hat …. No fly off on roller coasters at Disneyland
  • Great at Dodgers Game for sun protection”
  • Stiff brim does not flop down over my eyes. Good sun protection.
  • Got it for boating and hanging out on the lake – looks great and provides the sun protection I was looking for.
  • Typical Shelta quality and overall design considerations. Any other cap I own always gets sweat/skin oil stains between the brim and cap. However, this is not the case with this Shelta hat. There is some sweat marks under the brim close to the sweat band, but no stains on the top of the brim or on the cap itself.. As always, the selection of sizes makes for a great fit, even with a large noggin like mine. As always, great job Shelta!
  • Comfortable on multi day trips. Excellent as a rain hat and flexible enough to fit inside hood.
  • Just received my second Shelta hat. Loved the first one so much I decided to buy a different model, and love it just as much as the first.
  • I working at a Cemetery as a Care Taker in FL. Its is hot and humid. The main part is to keep the sun off of my head face and neck. I have tired other “sun” hats, but the stiff brim, waterproof and breathable fabric is the best. Yes it cost more, but just like my water cooler, I could by a c heap one from Wal-M**rt, and maybe it would work and maybe it would last, but I have a Yeti, the extra money is worth the cold drink in the sun. I am very happy with the perchance, and recommend it to anyone. Even if your just going out for a bit, this will keep you safe and cool
  • Love the hat! The Condor is AWESOME!!
  • Awesome, comfortable fit and very lightweight. Perfect for days on the lake, dock, and boat!
  • The hat stays on your head while running down the lake in the bass boat and the brim does not flop down into your face. Great Hats!!
  • “I just bought three of the Firebird V2 hats along with the neck shields for my sons and myself.
  • It keeps the melon nice and cool and the neck and ears from being baked by the sun while out fishing or even yard work.
  • Just use the size chart and you will get a nice fit.
  • 57cm , S/M
  • Highly recommended.”
  • The no flop brim and the ability to adjust the fit makes it what I need.
  • vary nice hat
  • The hat is comfortable, fits great and I love it!
  • This hat was as advertised. The fit and brim width were what I was hoping for. My new favorite hat.
  • Nice to have the fixed front and not have flap like my other hats when on my quad.
  • My third hat – love them! Lost it in the lake and ordered as soon as I got back to the dock!
  • “1st of all shipping was super fast. I was very excited to try this hat as I sunburn very easily now due to a new medication. This hat did not disappoint. It was awesome and worked very well to
  • shield my face and neck from the sun. The visor part of the hat worked great ! I typically run 45 to 65 mph in my boat and kept it on the whole time. Great product and great customer service !”
  • I just received my new hat. Tried it on, and it fits great. I am looking forward to years of enjoyment wearing it.
  • Great hat, super fit for huge head
  • Bought for golf because a ball cap is just too hot. Wore it boating and on a jet ski going 60 mph. Seemed like it would catch the wind and fly off but never did! Highly recommended.
  • It was what I was looking for. Quality & Common sense. Great on the water
  • I was in search of a sun hat for my husband. He shoots sporting clay competitions and was recently electrocuted, causing burns and therefore the need for a good sun hat for protection. The fact that this hat has a stiff bill on it and would not interfere with his shooting made it an easy choice when online shopping for him. Thank you, Shelta!
  • I’ve had the floppy brim hats for years but absolutely love this hat. Its brim is slightly wider than my other hats. I do wish any of these brands of hats would figure out a way to keep my head cool. The Shelta hat has been better than the previous but it could still be improved.
  • Wear it sailing and it fits well and stays on.
  • This is the perfect face gaiter. Very comfortable, and stays in place even when running boat at full speed. Perfect compliment to my Shelta hat!
  • This is the real deal, awesome hat!
  • Perfect fit and keeps my head, face and neck cooler and protected from the sun. I bought this hat to work on my ranch and also fishing. I got the Landhawk because I read reviews that it breaths better than the Seahawk. I will be purchasing more of these hats. The no flop design is no joke, my old boonie hats flopped and blocked my vision. Thank you Shelta for this amazing product.
  • This is a great piece of gear. It fits nicely with my shelta hat. It’s comfortable and it’s a great way to be sun smart.
  • Excellent!
  • I just got back from a White Water Rafting Trip down the Payette in Idaho. Plenty of sun protection and the brim never blows into my face. I can wear the hat all day and not know its there.
  • I bought my third Shelta, a LandHawk and am completely satisfied with my SeaHawk, Condor, and LandHawk. Never go out without my Shelta. I’ve tipped off a few boating buddies too. Just a superb hat: lightweight, comfortable, and a wind conqueror! Great quality hat for the active lifestyle!
  • This was my 4th purchase, all different models and colors . My first I bought was a bit tight (XL is my normal hat size). So I gave it to my wife. Bought another for my fishing kayak and one for hiking in the XXL. Got paint stains on my walking hat, so now it is my working hat. So bought this for hiking. These are great hats. My only suggestion is you might want one larger than your normal size.
  • Great hat for outdoors activities! Keeps sun off the face and ears, keeps cool and easy to wash up if it gets dirty. Fits great too!
  • I use this hat to do yard work here in Texas. Keeps my head cool but more importantly keeps the sun off my ears, neck and most of my face. Its a winner.
  • “I just love this hat because it doesn’t flop or droop no matter what Mother Nature throws at it. I wear it everywhere sailing, fishing, the beach, kayaking even when I work in the yard! People come up to me and ask to try it on & where they can get one. I am going to buy one for my wife & son so they can stay protected from the Sun while still looking good, Its great product , well made & durable and so comfortable. Thanks.
  • s a product”
  • Absolutely love this hat. Stays on while riding in the boat and kept my face free from the sun! Amazing!
  • I was searching for a boonie hat with a more rigid brim when I ran across the Shelta Land Hawk. The hat is comfortable. Fit was good for us with larger heads (used the Shelta fit guide) and the no flop brim works very well. The cord system is ingenious since it has the ability to shift the cord dangling around your ears to out of sight/mind in the back. Its price seems expensive at first glance but after you have it, you appreciate the cost. I’m a satisfied customer.
  • These hats will mot blow off even in a stout breeze like on the sea at about 10-15 knot wind. I wore one to a concert when a reasonably heavy rain blew in, my head never got wet or chilly, it blocks sun from fave neck ear should say its a perfect hat golf hiking, beach, fishing or basically anything outdoors .
  • Love the fit and function of this hat. Recommend it to everyone.
  • Purchased for outdoor activities (hiking, golf, biking) to replace my trucker style cap. Much better cover from the sun and my son thought exactly the same. So, gonna get him one soon. Love the landhawk!
  • I’ve had some skin cancer issues and I have wore ballcaps all my life. I love the hat it covers my ears and neck from the sun. Crossing my fingers for no more surgeries. I also love the brim while on the golf course and on the boat. Let’s Go!
  • I paddle outrigger canoes. Used it on both OCs and OC6s with ocean changes. It is durable and sturdy.
  • Purchased this hat for those sunny days fishing on the river. I fish from a boat and need a hat that will stay on while running the boat and will protect me from the sun. I love the cap like bill.
  • I’ve worn Shelta Hats for fishing for years. Its amazing how much cooler they keep me than a traditional cap!
  • I love this hat. Being surfing with it a couple of times and like streamlined visor. It keeps his son off my face and with the strap on the neck it keeps the hat on my head, went to the mountains, hung out in the water and jet skiing and other activities, never got burnt.
  • I’m an aggressive pickleball player in sunny, hot and windy Hawaii. This hat save me from overheating and sunburns daily. I love it. It wicks well. And it stays on without ever using the chin strap, nice a snug on the head.
  • Love this hat! Fits perfectly on my big head. Happy finally found hat that fits my fishing lifestyle. Definitely gonna buy sime for my family.
  • “I have a massive melon for a head. I have a hard time finding harts when I buzz cut my hair and since I grew out my (albeit thinning) hair, that’s just making it more difficult.
  • I ordered the largest size they have (XXXL). It ACTUALLY fits. I had to loosen the size cinch as much as possible but it ACTUALLY FITS.
  • It’s comfortable, airy, stays on my head when using the strap in the military style, isn’t hot (see: airy), very light with little movement, and you can actually wash it!
  • I’d buy this again if I needed another colour.”
  • Land hawk does what they say. Great fitting hat that keeps you cool . Expensive yes but definitely worth it in my opinion.
  • I had a Seahawk and loved it, but then lost it. I decided to try the Landhawk and was happily surprised I liked it more, mainly because the ventilation is noticeably better than the Seahawk. This makes a big difference on the Gulf Coast. I hope it’s as impervious to rain as the Seahawk was but it remains to be seen.
  • I love my first Shelta so much, I ordered a second in a different color. Presently I own only two, but who knows what the future holds!
  • Had my hat a week now, used it fishing on my kayak for three days. Great as a sun had, blaze is a good color for kayaking safety, comfortable and cool – holds its shape, even when hot and sweaty.
  • Ordered my 5th Shelta hat and took it bow hunting in New Mexico. This hat functioned perfectly as I knew it would from my previous experience with these great hats. Thank you for making the best sun protection lids on the planet. I have had skin cancer and take my outdoor recreation seriously and I. couldn’t continue to do what I enjoy without your hats.
  • I have a large head and I love hats. But finding one that fits is super hard. I bought the XXL Tech Cap. It’s outstanding. Big enough for my melon. Light. Easy to pack. Very versatile. Two thumbs up. (I’ve owned a Shelta Boonie for a few years and love it too). Well done.
  • Perfect protection from the sun and fit on my head.
  • Hard to find a hat with a wide brim that is usable sailing in high wind. Shelta fits the bill perfectly.
  • “Firebird V2
  • Great hats! I have already purchased four of the same model, one for each of my sons and two for me. Highly recommend”
  • “Great Hat, all my golfing buddies want one! Ordered by phone from the home office and the executive who
  • Helped me was the most helpful!”
  • Love my hat can’t wait to purchase a different color, service was quick product was great proud owner.
  • Article arrived as described, outstanding quantity and good fitting.
  • So far, so good. Just what I was looking for. Had it on the beach and in the ocean this week. So nice to not have the brim flopping around in the wind. Fits well and is comfortable to wear. Would definitely recommend.
  • Good fit overall but seems a little larger than advertised when comparing the fit to the firebird and seahawk versions.
  • Great hat! Very pleased with it.
  • I’m, usually a Reel Life or AFTCO shopper and was pleasantly surprised to find that I like this shirt as much as I do the other 2. Try it!
  • Fits well and we use for football games and fishing
  • Went out on a long Side-by-side ride. My wife was fighting with her floppy hat; hat flapped in her face and up to her head. She asked me how I kept my hat under control in the wind. I said it is a Shelta and now she owns one. Wouldn’t go out in the wind without it.
  • AÃ n no lo prob con viento pero se ve bien firme, muy contento con la compra
  • I just spent 10 days sailing in the BVI and the Condor from Shelta performed better than ANY hat I’ve ever used (and I’ve had plenty including Tilley hats, Outdoor Research, and others). Nothing compares when it comes to a sailing hat that provides excellent shade & sun protection AND the ability to maintain its shape against high winds. All the other brimmed hats I own are pretty much useless when beating into a 20 – 30 knot headwind but the Condor was exceptional. Also shipping was quick and the company was very helpful when I had accidentally selected the wrong shipping method. Highly recommend, and I will definitely order again.
  • I normally wear 7 5/8 fitted hats and I ordered an XL V2 based from the sizing guide. Upon receiving the XL size, it was a good fit but it was bit tight and was giving me a slight pressure on my forehead. I exchanged it for a XXL and the XXL fits so much better. This is my very first boonie hat and I love it. I’ll definitely buy another one with a different color. Customer support is top notch as well! Thank you!
  • Great fitting hat! My husband loves these hats for boating season! I’ve been searching for blue! Finally got it!
  • “Really happy with my shelta seahawk, very comfortable and light and finally a hat that doesn’t flop over my face !! Perfect for fishing 👍 Thanks Shelta
  • Damo
  • New Zealand”
  • Just a perfect match/fit with the matching hat!!
  • Was a gift for hubby, who owns a few Shelta hats. He put it on and tried it under those hats, plus ball caps. The slim profile means he doesn’t have to adjust the fit of his caps, which he appreciates. He is looking forward to using it.
  • Love the red
  • “Wonderful hat that does not fall off in the most windy conditions and is also great in my convertible. I am never blinded by sun or a floppy brim. I can always see and I really like the blue color.
  • Thanks”
  • How about a rain hat?? Current designs of the market are NOT great.
  • The materials and size allow that little stretch fits how You want
  • This is a great addition to my Shelta hat. I always wear a scull cap as a liner, but this Skully takes it to another level in comfort and warmth!
  • This is my second Seahawk purchase. I’ve owned many brimmed sun hats over the years to provide shelter when kayaking and backpacking, and the Seahawk is miles ahead of the best one of those others. Loved it so much I bought one for my son. This is the perfect hat for the outdoors, and we’ll use and enjoy them for a very long time You should, too!
  • Better than I thought it would be.
  • Its an effective, low tech improvement on the sun protection that the hat offers. Clever
  • Purchased to take on cruise. Great hat. Stays on with the wind blowing on deck.
  • Looks, works perfect,!
  • My husband has one of these hats for on the sailboat and one for the beach. Great hat and well worth the money!
  • Have worn this hat every day in all conditions for over 5 years, mostly in the Southwest., hat has been exceptional in all conditions. I of course replaced it with the same exact hat when needed.
  • I wear a lot of baseball caps. However they never do a good job protecting my ears and neck from too much sun. This hat is way more stylish and practical than the floppy or straw hats I have used in the past. My seahawk fits perfectly with the cinch completely loose so I barely got the correct size. Measure your head carefully.
  • This is my second Shelta Seahawk. Nothing beats a Shelta hat. Thanks for a great hat.
  • With ZERO regrets. My work as well as. my passion is sailing the open oceans and having a truly bad ass hat is required. I’ve tried so many before I landed on Shelta and I’m so glad I did. My first order was 2016 and I’ve purchased tons of hats since then…. Why? They don’t last? They fall apart in the environment I use them in on the daily? No….. My friends come out and use one of the many that I have on the boat and sometimes I just have to give them the one they were wearing as I could tell they truly loved using them.
  • “Great to wear in the Australian bush and peaks. The neck shield works a treat as well.
  • When its close to 100% humidity and in the high 30s, you don’t want to feel like your wearing a hat, and the Shelta hat is remarkably light and airy. Perfect.”
  • This hat is built to last. The high-quality materials and excellent craftsmanship ensure it can withstand the rigors of outdoor adventures. Whether you’re hiking, fishing, or just lounging by the beach, the Shelta Hat remains in top-notch condition, providing reliable protection and style.
  • I made the purchase from Argentina the products arrived perfectly and on time, great experience buying from abroad and far away. The products are very well made, the size is perfect and does the job as expected.
  • Love it! THANKS!
  • Love this hat! Fits perfectly and love the features!!
  • “Your hat surprised me in a great way, it is everything I hoped it would be, and then some. Fit’s perfectly, it’s perfect.
  • I will be ordering more, one for mowing and work, the other for leisure activities, boating, fishing, golfing, etc.
  • Thanks again for a really great hat.”
  • So far so good I’ve only used it a couple times. Very comfortable.
  • My first one served me very well for several years, and is still in great shape. However it the grey camo faded to the point that it was looking pink. I couldn’t have that so I got this one. Now to wait for the sun to come out.
  • This is a great hat. Well constructed, light weight, and sharp looking. Comfortable and versatile. Easy to clean, so the white will continue to look great for a long time.
  • Light weight, well made, fits great!
  • “The Shelta Seahawk is a incredible light weight and easy wearing outdoor-hat for me with a fantastic wind performance, with it’s “”no-flop-visor”” brim system. I tell that as an owner of more than 10 different hats from a famous competing company from Canada and many other hats.
  • The Shelta Seahawk its the perfect hat for stormy weather and sport activities, especially sailing, or hiking. I’m curious about working at hot weather. So I will see if it will work in the future at summer heat about 30 degrees Celsius, because here in Europa it’s spring now.
  • SIZE: I have 60,5 cm (23,82 inch) head circumference and bought
  • a Shelta Seahawks size XXL. That’s perfect for my head size and form/shape, because L/XL definitely would have been too small!
  • Hope that was a helpfully information for other buyers.”
  • Best hat I ever had. Wish I bought it sooner.
  • Wore this down the San Juan River float Super windy and it stayed on my head and shaded my face when everyone else’s hats were blowing up, exposing their face. Love this hat.
  • Love the adjustable fit and the fact your lid doesn’t blow off when boating.
  • Great hat, everything I wanted. Haven’t been in the wind but it sure seems like it will stay on!
  • Enjoy it on the water for kayak fishing. One of my favs for fishing with and blocking the sun. Goes well with the shelta hat
  • Bottom line: great hat, highly recommend. You’re serious about being outside, and weather is the one factor you don’t control. There are only a few boonies you can rely on rain and shine. Bought the Seahawk, it performs exactly as promised. While I love well made cotton lids like the original Tilley T3 (if cotton is your thing, Tilley is the one), Shelta’s synthetic is not nylon – meaning the Seahawk is comfortable, breathes, stays put, bucks the wind, and keeps rain/spray out of your collar without drooping. Even on a hot southern afternoon it keeps your head cool. Two small points that won’t matter to 99% of people: 1. the front brim is rigid (and droop-proof), so if you normally pop your brim up for vertical peripheral vision you’re out of luck (I guess you might wear it backwards). 2, this rigidity creates a human eye-attracting straight horizontal line. Buy one, you’ll be happy with your new go-to. I’m buying a second. Thanks Shelta, great product.
  • Great hat, probably got mine a bit on the small size so my only issue is the hardened band can give me a bit of a headache if I have the hat pulled down and wear it too long.
  • Performs well! Brim doesn’t fly up in the wind!
  • Shelta quality is appreciated. Thank you.
  • It works…keeps the sun off, stays on, and is the most comfortable hat ever…
  • Very nice hat, love the fact it doesn’t flop around when on the boat or golf cart!
  • Have just been testing it out on the Oregon coast. Just love this hat.
  • I really like this hat, it does an amazing job of protecting my face, ears and neck from the sun. The stiff bill in the front never blocks your view.
  • Love this topper. Was fishing in very strong rain/wind recently and this hat kept me dry AND stayed on my head without chin straps. I also wear a brim light and the stiff brim works great. I highly recommend this hat.
  • I work construction in Florida. Most shade hats are hot and uncomfortable in really hot weather. The hat breathes well and was comfortable for over 8 hrs of continuous use. Its early to tell, but it seems very well-made too. Looks like it will hold up to being stored under truck seat without losing its shape.
  • They finally solved the boonie hat problem, the floppy brim dilemma. This hat will stay on your head and that brim is staying put. Nice!
  • “This has become my outdoor hat to protect against sun exposure.
  • The cinch cord allows for precise fit however I did have to buy two hats to determine which was the best fit as my head size was in between two sizes.
  • The rigid front provides great coverage and stands up. It is also easy to secure the lanyard strap out of the way or just remove it a great hat that holds up and is versatile.”
  • I lost my original Raptor in Europe last year and regretted it immediately and always. This replaces an indispensable old friend. Size is true.
  • Great fit
  • I spend as much time fishing as I can which exposes me to a lot of reflected sun. I have skin cancer and HATE applying sunscreen so this is the perfect solution. I only have to apply sunscreen to my face and the rest of my upper body is protected by the hoodie. With either a baseball cap under the hoodie or my Shelta hat over the top I’m supremely comfortable when fishing. Love this hoodie!!
  • Comfortable and really helps with the sun!
  • I’m a fisheries biologist and spend long hours on the water in a boat. The structured brim is a game changer. Hat is really comfortable and perfect size for keeping the sun out of my eyes.
  • Best hat ever
  • This is my second Shelta hat. I wanted one with less of a brim so I went with The Osprey. Well constructed and I love the handy pocket for storage. I have wore these hats fishing and whale watching. Also I wear it around the house for yard work. They never blow off and are very comfortable. Great product.
  • “Great hat!
  • I used it for the first time on a surf trip to Mexico and the hat performed beyond expectations. Surfing / Swimming and Hiking.
  • I highly recommend it.”
  • Really love these hats – I now have three and utilize them for sun protection -along with sunscreen – however they help tremendously shading ears !!!
  • I haven’t had this Osprey long but so far between my Condor, Seahawk and Osprey, I think my favorite is the Seahawk.
  • Great hat!
  • This is my second Shelta since I wanted a wider brim. The hats are very well made and hold up to the wind quite well. Amazing, actually. The fit is comfortable and adjustable. I love these hats. My first Shelta started to get sweat stained, and the Shelta directions to use a baking powder slurry worked and the hat looks like new. After several years of boating and saltwater use the hat is still going strong with no signs of wear.
  • “the hats and neck covers are the best I’ve worn for this Florida heat. They I’ve shared with my Brother-in-law who has also taken to it too.
  • I appreciate the bill that doesn’t fold with sweat or rain.”
  • Great design, extremely soft material, cut and quality of sewing fantastic. Would recommend and would buy again
  • Quality hat that fits perfect. Sizing was exactly in line with chart/measurements.
  • Just bought a second one of these, was tired of transferring my first one back and forth from home to work. Fits snuggly so stays on even on windy days without cord. No flop brim keeps vision clear and wide brim shields sun well. Well worth the price for sun protection.
  • At first I had bought the neck shield because I was worried about overheating in face gaiter, but the neck shield just blew wildly in wind no matter which way I attached it supplying little sun protection. So decided to try face gaiter and it is wonderful. It fits my head well, might be too tight for someone with a large head though. It secures well over ears with hat holding it down and completely shields neck and lower face, only my eyes peak out and are covered by hat brim. Although it is close to skin it really doesn’t get too hot even in 90+ F degrees, can feel breeze against it. Yes, you will sweat under it, but a tradeoff for great sun protection.
  • This is my second Seahawk. The V2 size medium has a tighter fit than the previous model. As a bald man with a family history of melanoma, I own a lot of hats. The application for the Seahawk is maximal sun protection in the wind. It works much better than a T-y. Its great for fishing from a boat and works well with the Shelta face mask. I think the silicone forehead tabs will help keep it in position.
  • Wore this for a week backpacking, along with a sun hoody it was perfect. Stays cool, nicely adjustable., fits my big head, and so light I basically forgot about it.
  • Cap has a unique less round design looks great
  • Awesome hat. Great features. Very happy.
  • If you work or play outdoors you need this hat.. block our skin cancer with a SHELTA HAT
  • Had great success with first hat but its getting a bit tattered so it is now the dirty, back up hat!
  • First off, let me say, I’m not a hat guy. I often joke that the worldwide hat industry has not made a hat that doesn’t make me look like a dork!! Love this Osprey V2 hat my son says it doesn’t look too bad, which is a huge upgrade from the normal response Wore this hat at his golf tournament on a very windy day and only once did it come off, but the chin cord caught it easily. Very comfortable & lightweight. I was amazed at how well it stayed on during that windy day on the golf course. Love that you can attach the chin cord to the new holes available behind your ears. Keep up the good work! Hopeful to have more Shelta hats in my future!!
  • Fits great. Stays in place.
  • A great balance between design and functionality. Thanks!
  • “Great purchase the hat is so light and comfortable. Great quality I plan to purchase a 2nd hat once some new colors come out The sage green is nice but in a perfect world I would ask for the green to be just 1 or 2 shades more into the grey spectrum,,, not necessarily darker, just a different of the same light green Thanks Shelta for making a smart product with very nice quality TomR/Atlanta
  • PS¦. Children’s model Would love to get one of these Falcons for my 2yr old grandson
  • The first one I purchased several years ago sees a lot of abuse since I wear it for both yard work around the house and when I’m out doing trail maintenance on our local singletrack trails. It has held up great even though it stays pretty sweaty and dirty. I bought this new one in hopes I will keep it cleaner for wearing out in polite company
  • Very nice
  • Great fit and adjustable.
  • I ordered a large size in order to make sure the shirt would not be restrictive. It fits well, feels good, and the option to use the gloves is great. I’ll be wearing the shirt in the future weeks when kayaking on rivers here in Florida.
  • This is my 3rd Shelta – love everyone of them. Quality is unbelievable!!
  • I am NOT a hat guy at all. Fits my big head perfectly and plenty of room for my glasses. The front bill being rigid is awesome. Thanks so much for a great product
  • Bought it for my wife. She loves it. Fits perfectly.
  • Excellent fit with no flop brim
  • Shelta designs the best broad brimmed hats. I already had gray and green versions. Now I’ve got the great looking black version. Even old order Dunkers and Mennonites need a good practical black hat!
  • I have several of your products. Love them!
  • My boyfriend loves these hats and are so essential for hot and cold weather working outside.
  • This was my second purchase. Perfect fit and extremely comfortable even when I’m spending all day on the water. These are the only sun hats I’ve ever had that I don’t worry if the winds pick up or if I need to outrun an incoming storm. They just stay on my head!
  • Bought one years ago and still have it. Best hat out there for all conditions. The old one is a bit stained now after a lot of sweat and salt water but still fine. Liked the new blue color so decided to add to my collection. These cost more than most others but are worth it.
  • I have worn a Raptor V2 for years as a mailman. I recently purchased the Seahawk V2 Ltd. Wow! Even better! This hat is exactly what I need to keep my noggin from sun burn!
  • Originally bought a small, but that was too tight. Sent it back with no problems. Re-ordered a medium and it fit perfectly. Doing the job quite nicely.
  • I love these hats couldn’t wait for you guys to finally get the Patrol Navy color to where on duty as a police officer.
  • Quality made hat! I hope for durability.
  • I have three gray versions and have always wanted blaze orange (burnt is close enough) to go with my orange Shelta hat. I got two of these and love them.
  • Great for golf here in the southwest. No flop brim is great as other hats this style the brim blows around. When it is windy chin strap keeps it from blowing off. Chin strap can be clipped to back out of the way when not windy.
  • Great fit, light weight, like all the extra features. Very packable, great for upcoming trip.
  • “This is my second Shelta hat I’ve bought, I unfortunately lost my first one and could’ d find any hats as good as this, I use this hat every day and work in an alpine area in windy and challenging weather, so have put this hat (well my previous one) through years of hard use and never had any issues with it.
  • The fit is perfect for my head shape, its really comfortable around my head with no pressure spots and the stiff brim works well in windy conditions, the hat just holds in place and keeps the brim where it should be (not in your face).
  • I highly recommend this hat and will get another one when this one wears out, probably years from now.”
  • Material is just right; not too heavy or light. The perfect addition to my beach wear!
  • I have more than one. Beat the crap out of my first one and it still works great. Would buy more but at $100.00 per hat with shipping and tax they are over my budget.
  • Great coverage from sun, comfortable fit without the feeling that I am wearing a sombrero, and the brim holds its shape even in 30-40 mph wind gusts. I highly recommend
  • the hat is solid, the brim is made of some kind of ultra sturdy material so it wont be affected by the wind, etc like a straw hat would.. i got the narrow(er) brim one, it’s a little skimpy in the sun coverage department but overall looks and fits well, etc…
  • The Sea Blue makes my 4th Shelta, the first in a color other than beige. I use my beige hats to work outside, fish and hike. This new Sea Blue will take over for walking my 2 Belgian Malinois dogs for a little style. I had many Boonie hats but couldn’t stand the brim falling on my face and not blocking the sun. With Shelta, you don’t have that problem. Sun is out of my eyes, the wind can’t blow it off my head and the color is nice
  • Confident this hat will be great in OBX winds!
  • I love it.. Keeps that FL sun off my damn neck..
  • This hat is very comfortable & its held up to windy walks with the dogs. I look forward to trying it during boating season.
  • Great hat! Perfect for sun, rain, and snow.
  • I own four of the boonie style hats and I love every one of them. This hat seems to be just as well made, extremely lightweight and perfect for hot weather while providing good Sun protection. Not only that, but their stylish looking as well.
  • This hat is awesome. Fit is spot on. Looks way better in person, it has a textured look to it. Almost camo. Not solid black. Looks and fits amazing!
  • Just got my V2 in navy camo. It fits perfectly and looks great. This is my second Shelta Hat and I love the molded visor. I’m a fair-skinned guy that spends his days on the water. Sun protection is very important to me and these hats totally do what there designed to do!
  • Perfect for walking and playing golf to provide excellent sun coverage.
  • Great sun hat, they are in sizes (1 size all never fit my head) seem durable, really like the fixed front brim for the Florida wind. Will be looking for new colors.
  • I love this hat. Its my second Shelta and I bought two on this order. The hat is comfortable in fit, and the shaped brim is a great touch. The hat protects from the sun, and stays cool and looks good. I recommend it strongly.
  • “I have two other Shelta hats. The Seahawk V2 seems to fit my head better than the other two Shelta hats. The Silicone gel pattern on the front of the headband really helps keep the hat stable on your head. The mesh metal vents seem to allow more air flow than the laser cut vents on other style Shelta hats. The no flop brim is the best.
  • Buy it, I think you’ll love it!!!”
  • I’ve been canoeing and traveling, rivers for decades and finally have the perfect hat. Light, sturdy, and dang good looking.
  • The shelta line is essential for Hiking, surfing, prone paddling, or any activity outdoors. The comfort is amazing, the materials and craftsmanship is impeccable, and they last forever. Im so glad I found these hats. Don’t know what Id do without them. There my adventure companion in comfort and style.
  • Love the hat and very impressed with customer service.
  • Love this hat for the outdoors. Super great!
  • Good fit, soft and comfortable.
  • Hat fits my grandson perfect. And the one for me is also a perfect fit.
  • Works as advertised on my Skeeter boat fishing
  • Really good product, I would recommend this product to anyone who ask me about it .
  • As a Swamp Tour Captain a Sun and Wind hat is essential !! Wearing a Shelta shows the Public World your a Professional 🙂 Thx & Cheers
  • I’ve been using Shelta hats for some years now and they are my go to hat to protect my head. This new hat is my favorite that I use while fishing, hiking, and geocaching.
  • I do a lot of saltwater fishing which is usually “run and gun” at 30-40 mph or more. At those speeds, I can’t keep a regular hat on so I go without and then put it on when the boat stops. This has caused me to get pre-cancerous spots on my forehead at the end of every season. Just got the Seahawk V 2 and have used it several times at 40+ mph or more when going into a headwind. The hat stays put and the brim doesn’t flop although naturally you get some vibration at that speed. This is going to be a real difference maker for the skin on my head and ears. Great quality. You can’t put a price on your health.
  • Great hats
  • Fit is good, with short hair. If you have longer hair increase one size. Holds shape vary well.
  • Im kicking myself for not getting one of these sooner. It has added another dimension to my outdoor activities. Well made light and highly functional. Bravo.
  • Always great products!
  • “Thank yâ all for everything, these hats are fantastic. 1st hat handed down to my son who works with me. 2nd hat was ripped and torn by a black locus tree . Third hat Hi vis orange which helps out a ton when cutting and trimming on busy roads.
  • Thank you for the best hats ever. Great in the rain, on the boat, and in the canoe!!!!”
  • “I was a bit skeptical before I had ordered the hat. I had bought several sun hats before and didn’t like any of them. They were too floppy and usually didn’t fit well.
  • I was pleasantly surprised when I got my Seahawk hat. Its elastic adjustment allowed me to customize my fit so that it was perfect. The no flop bill is just as advertised. I can wear my hat for hours and not get too hot as the ventilation really works. Great quality for an off shore product. I wish it was fabricated in the USA, but it would probably be twice the price. Regardless, worth the purchase price.”
  • This is my 4th shelta hat, they are a bit more expensive than others but totally worth it.
  • Best hats your money can buy.
  • Great hat for my work landscaping
  • Excellent hat!
  • “I have an in between head size, XL to XXL, and so it makes it hard for me to get a hat that fits.
  • When this one arrived ( I ordered the XXL ) I initially thought that it was too big for me. But once I cinched up the draw string that runs around the hat band portion, it was as good as a custom fit hat. For those that do need to return the item, they make that easy, by also including a return label with the box, in case you have any issues.
  • It is very good quality, and very good value for the money.
  • It is a very functional hat. I cannot wait to try it while coastal fishing in Texas this summer.”
  • The Condor V2 LTD I recently purchased is the best brimmed hat I’ve ever worn! Accurate sizing fit, comfortable and stable fit, and it protects my dome with a stiff front bill, and firm sides all the way around!
  • I was hesitant paying $80 for a hat. Finally pulled the trigger after getting my cheap sunhat wet, collapsing in my face. This hat is great for all outdoor activities. Performs well on the boat at speed. This video says it all. I was laughing watching my buddy struggle with his standard sunhat!
  • I really like this shirt. It fits perfectly, it is very well made. I wear it on my fly fishing outings and it is perfect. I had bought one and liked it so much I bought a second one!
  • Design, features, construction, packaging, and delivery all outstanding. Well done!
  • Just what I needed. Comfortable and protective for sunny days on the water. Very well constructed.
  • The Firebird hat has a great front brim that stays rigid. And, it floats which is the best.
  • The Seahawk V2 is a great hat especially in windy conditions.
  • best hat Ive ever owned! stays on my even at 50 mph on the boat!
  • Excellent fit. Everything is as advertised. Very pleased.
  • I purchased for my older Shelta hats, more for structure and as a layer of insulation from the sun. Does both well.
  • Great hats I have 2!
  • “I live on any island and finding sun hats that hold up to the wind is a challenge. Problem solved!
  • Great boating hat as well. Comfortable and great in the wind and heat. What else is there?”
  • Great quality, fit, style and color.
  • I was advised to wear a hat like this do to a recent kidney transplant. I spend a lot of time on the boat, and couldn’t be happier with the performance of the hat. I will be buying more in the future.
  • A perfect hat.
  • I have 2 Seahawks but decided to go with the wider brim of the Condor for more sun coverage and I am not disappointed. Fits great no bend front brim is perfect while cutting grass, cruising on the boat, or walking on the beach! And it looks great!
  • These hats are amazing quality. Filled every need I had and I can tell it will last a long time. Quite stylish too!
  • This is my third Shelta hat and wont be the last. Love them all.
  • Wore my new hat for the first time while out boating and the brim never moved which is what I was looking for , Great product!
  • Ive been try to find a wide brimmed hat that was comfortable enough to wear daily for fishing , hiking, and yard work. All the others were too floppy, and not comfortable. This hat fits so well I actually forget I am wearing it. My Dermatologist will be happy !
  • Loved the first one so I bought a second Narrow brim.
  • I bought my wife a Seahawk because mine is absolutely great as I thank shelta thank me after we take the grandkids to Disney World
  • Very well built.
  • This is my second one. I use it EVERYDAY for my lunch walks down here in the south Georgia sunshine. The venting is great and this thing is comfortable. I will definitely be adding more to the collection.
  • Shelta makes a quality product. I bought my first Shelta hat (the Seahawk) on Amazon. The day after I received it, I ordered the Landhawk V2 directly from Shelta. Love them both. The Landhawk does feel a little cooler. Ordering from Amazon was fine, but I preferred ordering directly from Shelta. The selection seemed better, and more importantly, I was able to get a military discount through Shelta. Very happy. You get what you pay for with these hats.
  • I had one and now I have two love these hats a little expensive but worth every dime.
  • I purchased one of these hats 8 years ago and another one a couple years later. They have held up amazingly and I still wear them just about every single day with irrigation and landscape work. The fabric the fit the protection and overall quality is amazing.
  • This is not a floppy hat! It is very comfortable, and yet it maintains its form during very windy conditions. Its a little pricey, but now I understand why. It will definitely stay with me for a very long time.
  • I like to sail and spend time sailing on the Caribbean. All of my hats flop and blow off my head. I saw the ad for Shelta hats and thought I would give one a try. The hat is awesome. It works brilliantly, just as advertised. No flopping at all. The brim works perfectly. My only regret is I did not buy a yellow or red one since most of my hats are blue. Here’s hoping this great review will get you to send me one. Thanks, love the hat!!
  • This is a great heat and my 4th one from Shelta. The hat is a great fit . Love the color of the black ops. Which I got the blue one also. These hats are. Little expensive, but you are paying for great quality. I start with the griffin, then Osprey and a landhawk. My wife to the griffin and osprey
  • Hands down the best fishing hat I have used. Its light, stays on while ripping the boat, and keeps the sun off you.
  • Amazing hat!
  • Really love the hat. Great features and holds up well. Sized just right.
  • By far the best hat I have found for open ocean stand up paddle boarding.
  • Absolutely perfect I had to order two! I recommend this for all fishing partners and their significant others.
  • I had ordered one of these hats in originally came out. I like mine so much I decided I would get another one so that I could use it strictly for when I was golfing or my outdoor sporting activities in addition to my landscaping. I cant speak highly enough for the customer service. Tom, whoever and wherever you are, thank you very much. I was a bad customer and didn’t read fully the instructions for returns, but Tom was a champion and helped me out and guided me through the process. In a land where you can purchase from anybody purchase from shelter because they have real life customer service people that truly care about your experience!
  • Nothing comes close. Second one, first got lost or left or… but it was as good after 5 years as when new. Never lost it on the boat due to the chin strap. Hard brim makes the difference.
  • Not a big hat fan. But the dermatologist says I better start becoming one. This hat has been great. Super light weight, extremely comfortable. The stiff part of the brim is great never flops around and over my glasses. I highly recommend this. I might just have to buy another one!
  • It is perfect on the links!
  • Bought my first hat about 10 years ago and have received my second hat about 2 weeks ago. The hat has improved so much over the past years and just have gotten better. Such a great hat and so many people compliment my hat all the time. I am all the time telling everyone I meet about my hat and encouraging them to take a look and buy one themselves. The hats are worth every penny and nothing compares to them at all.
  • Will probably order another!
  • Very happy with the 3 hats I bought, they are each Texas advertised. Highly recommend
  • This is my third purchase of the Seahawk. Love these hats for all outdoor activities
  • I’ve tried many Boonie hats over the years so their superior sun protection to ball caps. I’ve had varying degrees of success. Some retain water and get damp and heavy (problematic if you sweat a lot). Others rust at the Grommets after a month. And don’t get me started on the brims flapping over your eyes. But this hat has made me a lifelong Shelta fan. Because it wicks moisture so well its kept me much cooler and has held up amazingly on trips to the beach, pool, hiking, theme parks, you name it. I was afraid the anti flap brim would make it heavy but it isn’t at all. I especially like the clip to hold the string in the back, keeps me from having to deal with the string around my neck when I don’t want it. And the cinch strap keeps the wind from claiming it. Couldn’t be more satisfied, the only problem is now I want more colors!
  • Love the hats.
  • I bought one of these hats several years ago, it has been worn all over the Caribbean, and at home also! I could not believe how well the Brim stands up even when you get it wet. It protects my face neck and ears from sunburn and is a great hat to wear all day at the lake. My wife Just ordered me a second one for fathers day and cant wait for it to arrive!
  • Falcon Hat was well-packaged and arrived on time with other ordered accessories. Excellent customer service, fits perfectly and look forward to wearing it on many outdoor adventures. Would recommend and purchase again.
  • My husband has been looking for a hat that won’t move while he’s driving his fishing boat and this is it! He loves it! Highly recommend.
  • Fits perfect, love it!
  • Very light and comfortable
  • Great for! Really comfortable!
  • Just got one, and must say the comfort of all day wear is great. No Hotspots at all. And I love how the hat keeps it’s shape even in the area that is not reinforced at the brim. I’m in sun all day. It will be interesting to see how it holds up to the UV as far as fade.
  • Bought this hat for my husband for Father’s Day. He loves it- will use for sailing. Had ordered a medium which is his usual hat size, needed to exchange for large.
  • Using it in Maui right now, no flop and the things stayed on in 35 mph gusts on catamaran sunset sail. 10/10
  • I bought two this spring 🙂
  • The new Seahawk V2 LTD is such a great hat for my outrigger paddling workouts in all conditions. It’s super comfortable, lightweight, water-wicking, and most important, the UPF 50 sun protection you expect from Shelta. I also like the red, it matches our club colors!
  • I recently bought my first Shelta hat to primarily wear on the golf course. I love it. The first day I wore it, a complete stranger came up to me at the driving range to ask about the brand. I think Shelta is about to have another new customer. I’m about to order my second hat.
  • I recently purchased two of the Assault L/S print hoodies for my trip to Cabo. That Hoodie is a game changer. I really like the fit and the thumb holes as I was able to wear it while swimming. Also the loop for the drawstring helps to keep it from riding uo in the water. Awesome product!
  • Extremely comfortable with the right amount of protection. I cannot recommend this hat enough. Would love to have another one for good as I bought this one for work and it will get dirty. The comfort, the way they did the stampede string, and the no flop brim set this hat aside from any other hat I have ever seen.
  • My guys are avid outdoorsmen and having a Shelta hat is a must. Having such a large size selection is great for all the different people in your life. The non flop front brim is a lifesaver out on the water.
  • I’m a Hvac technician so I’m on a lot of sunny roofs. I keep my hat in this bag attached to my tool backpack. Helps to keep dirt off. I love it as well as my Sheltahat!
  • Awesome Red Coloring, as all the Condor V2 the fit is perfect along with the cool color.
  • Used it while teaching a disaster medicine course in Florida and it performed well. Breathable and comfortable.
  • Great fit, great coverage and looks good on!!
  • These hats are great for the boat!! And for Golfing!
  • Hit or miss with how well Shelta sun shirts fit- this particular one has a reasonable neck opening and fits well. I then bought another short sleave of the exact same size in a different color and the neck size was HUGE. I think they have a problem with quality control and consistency
  • Made of sturdy materials, this style featuring a stiff pliable brim is the answer for long days in the sun. I love it and will use it for all my saltwater fly fishing adventures.
  • Great fit, and quality! Love both of my Shelta Hats!
  • Love the hat. Fits great, well made. Love the rigid brim.
  • This is my first Shelta hat purchase and I’m definitely impressed with the fit and quality of this hat. I purchased the color Altlas Camo in XL with matching Legionnaire Neck Shield. They are the perfect combo for style and protection. This hat was initially intended for just yard work to keep the sun from beating down on my face and neck, but it looks so good and feels so comfortable, I now wear it everywhere.
  • I’ve worn many different brands, Shelta is the one takes couple years to wear out if its a daily piece of equipment which for me it is. You will only lose one, after that you realize what a prized possession it is in your out door apparel!!!
  • light and comfortable, but with structure to keep it from flopping around. way better than any sun hat I’ve owned.
  • An excellent purpose designed hat that looks great as well. Performs exactly as described. All backed with great customer service. Nice work!
  • Cant wait to play golf in this summer.
  • So far so good. Good moisture wicking. Comfortable. Brim holds great when mowing the lawn on the zero turn mower at high speeds into the wind.
  • Picked up a few for me and one for my SO. Both really like them
  • This is the third one of these that I have and I wear them all the time.
  • Great hat. Will definitely purchase again. Would like to see more color options in the Landhawk. ATACS GHOST camo would sell like hotcakes.
  • A great hat – plenty of sun protection, lightweight, very comfortable, and breathable. The bill built into the brim is an advantage for photographers in that it gives some extra clearance when bringing the camera up to the eye. I wasn’t sold on the look of it initially, but I love the function – genius!
  • Light weight, looks-good, adjustable and it fit my big head. It also shipped in a box so the hat didn’t get crushed in shipment. I ordered the white version.
  • purchased the hat for an Alaska vacation, but discovered it to be exceptionally well-suited for my senior softball games, as the brim remains stable and does not flap around like my other hats. My only complaint is that it does not appear to be as moisture-resistant as I would prefer, as evident when I was caught in a recent rain shower in Florida.
  • Great hat
  • Love my new hat. I am 7 7/8 and the XXL fits perfectly.
  • Exceptional design with remarkable attention to detail. Worth every penny!
  • “I bought the Shelta Seahawk to replace my 30-year old Tilly hat that started falling apart.
  • The Shelta hat may look a little goofy with how the brim is shaped, but it works fantastic.
  • I can run the boat at 30mph and the brim stays in the proper position.
  • Other hats flop around in the wind and are either blocking my view or fold up giving no sun protection.
  • I definitely recommend the Shelta Seahawk!”
  • Great hat
  • I had to actually exchange a hat because I ordered the wrong size and the exchange was so easy. The replacement came in about a week. Love the hat!!
  • .
  • Tried my new hat on the wave runner yesterday. It worked great. I was impressed with the brim staying firm even up to 50 Mph.
  • This instantly became my favorite GO TO hat!! I have a LARGE head and the OSFM does not ever fit me. I ordered the XXL and it fits like a dream. Lightweight, comfortable, provides awesome coverage & well made. My wife said I look like tool but she will have to get used to it because Im wearing any chance I get. Buy one!!
  • This hat fits like a glove (lol) is very very comfortable thanks a lot.
  • Just got back from the Caribbean and was so grateful to have my Shelta hat!
  • Haven’t even taken in my trip yet, but after wearing a few other sun/surf hats, I can tell this is far superior. The sizing, materials, look and floats brim is why I bought sight unseen and the moment I unpacked it I knew I had a winner!
  • True to size and works as advertised. Really can’t reasonably ask for more.
  • Great hat. Finally a hat in a large size. Wear it for golf very comfortable and blocks sun especially on tops of ears!!
  • I purchased this hat for lawn care work and wear it for everything outdoors. The best thing about this hat is that it stays on my head even during the windiest of days and true to its advertisement, it does not flop around. It also breaths well and dries quickly. It is absolutely worth the price and I will definitely be buying another and recommend it to anyone who wants a quality boonie style sun hat.
  • “My wife stole my first shelta hat shortly after it arrived. A solid silver, apparently its a great pickleball and golf hat.
  • When I saw the camo I had to order my replacement. So much better than a boonie hat, the brim is narrower on the sides and of course stiffer at the bill. All this makes for a a great hat for active people, looking for protection from sun and rain. At times I have to wear ear protection (muffs) and this is one of the only wide brims hats that will allow me to wear over the ear muffs comfortably.
  • The crown fits great and is not high like a cowboy hat. I wish the optional neck protection attached in a different way than buttons. Magnets or Velcro perhaps. But still an A+ hat that has one again became my go to option.”
  • Let me start by saying this is my second hat from Shelta and I will keep wearing these hats from now on! I recently ordered the Sea Hawk V2 in brown duck and I ordered a large size as my Land Hawk was the same size and I have plenty of room in it. The Sea Hawk is tight and so I wish I had ordered the XL instead, but I had already cut the tags off as soon as I opened it up out of excitement and now cant return it. So my advice is to always double check the fit before you cut the tags off, but definitely get you a Shelta!!!
  • “Great hat
  • Very comfortable”
  • I got my Shelta hat, and had to wait a couple weeks to leave review details. This hat is awesome. Blocks so much sin out my eyes and around my head very lightweight and breathable . Also a great fit with many adjustable areas I want another hat now . Beat hat to beat the heat
  • Great hat very comfortable. Will be buying more.
  • These hats are the best hats I’ve ever used. I would love to have a couple more in different patterns. I’m also looking for excuses to buy them for my family and friends
  • 2nd time I purchased this
  • “I bought this hat to replace my last beach/pool hat and put it to good use beginning last Thursday through the weekend in Galveston.
  • Its very comfortable and performed as advertised. I like it so much that I’m considering buying another.”
  • Perfect hat for outdoors and great for the beach and sun. Chin strap works great in windy conditions. Shaping the hat makes it fit like I want. The brim works well.
  • I live in a very windy high altitude area in Colorado. This hat has surpassed my expectations in being able to withstand the winds and not flop up the brim. Now I have a sturdy hat that not only handles the wind but also provides the necessary sun protection needed at high altitude. Many thanks for a great design!
  • There is nothing I don’t like about this hat. The materials and design are top quality and I like that it stays on my head in the pool or the pickleball court with NO DROOPING BRIM. My only regret is not having purchased one years ago. If you’re on the fence because it costs a little more than other hats, get off your wallet and buy one! You won’t be disappointed.
  • Great fucking hat
  • This is my second Shelta hat only because I lost the other one which was very sad! Shelta hats are the best and I am a forever customer. Thanks for a great product!
  • I really appreciate the no-flop brim and the hat fits well! Its very comfortable to wear and looks good!
  • I love this hat
  • I was looking for a sun hat to wear while golfing and doing yard work. A friend recommended I check out Shelta. I purchased the Seahawk V2. I love it. Wore it golfing on a very hot day and there was no issue with it being too hot or the brim too wide for swinging a golf club. My baseball hat caused more overheating issues than my Shelta. It’s very light weight and at times I forgot I was even wearing it. When you do your measurement for size, be sure you do not pull the tape measure/string tight. Leave it loose around your head. The sizing was perfect for me.
  • The hat really delivers protection against wind keeping the brim straight. (I just don’t like the sharp curve of the front brim – I’m trying to mold it in a more subtle curve. )
  • Had a little cancer removed. Was looking for a cool hat (instead of a grandpa hat or a landscaper hat) to provide shade (don’t want to go through that surgery again!) — found the Seahawk V2. Just returned from 9 days in the desert working 14 hour days. The rigid bill was great, when a 40 mile/hr desert storm blew in the strap and hat stayed in place. Sheet rock dust, desert dirt, and construction junk washed off hat great. And, it reminded me of my old rock climbing hat, looking far cooler than a sombrero or floppy sun hat. Rock and roll – great hat.
  • Great hat need more xxl colors
  • I bought this because i do not look good in bucket hats and they are not functional in wind. The no flop brim was a game changer!! This hat is perfect for my boat trips! Fits perfect and don’t even need to use the tightening strap when running on the lake at 4000rpm. We also travel a ton and this hat fits in everywhere, from lounging in the Caribbean Sun to the Galapagos Island adventures on the Equator. Highly recommended!
  • “Bought this to replace a floppy brimmed hat for my boat.
  • Works great, doesn’t fold over under way.”
  • “I love the Shelta Hats for kitesurfing and any other needs in or out of the water. I even use them when snorkeling over my mask. it is a great product and this time I bought it RED as I lost my green previous one as I forgot to ensure it under my chin
  • Best surf-Kitesurf hat on the market !”
  • Good fit…nice wide brim
  • Absolutely love this hat! The only problem is my wife and daughter keep taking it
  • This hat breathes really well and the bill is awesome dealing with wind. Much thought went into the functionality of it. I’ve worn Shelta’s for years and continue to be impressed!
  • The hat is very well made. I was surprised at how lightweight and breathable it is. Will have to get more Shelta hats !!!
  • “8 days rafting on the Colorado River made a believer out of me. 30 mile per hour wind couldn’t knock it back, rain and rapids couldn’t knock it down, and great sun protection. All the river guides wanted one!
  • Followed that up with 14 days of back country fly fishing in Colorado. I kept my fishing license and I.D. in the pocket built into the hat.
  • Love this Hat!”
  • Great design and construction. Tight brim, consider one size up.
  • This hat is amazing. It fits great. It’s loose enough for everyday wear but I can tighten it up when I need to. As someone who has a pretty large head, it’s great to find a hat that actually fits!!!
  • The brim doesn’t flop in your face in the wind!!
  • Again, awesome
  • Great hat. 2nd in my collection.
  • Turned out to be exactly what I wanted. Love the cap like front. Just to help I usually where a xxl cap but the large Seahawk fit me perfectly!
  • I am ready for summer. This hat is ultra comfortable. I’m excited to see how well it shades in the summer. Definitely a game changer in summer shade hats.
  • I absolutely love this hat. Its so nice to find a hat that fits this large cranium of mine. Thank you so much for the high quality hat you guys make. Ill be buying more in the future.
  • Great fitting hat, light weight, what more you can ask for
  • Absolutely the best hat I have ever owned
  • This is my second one, only night another because the first finally faded after almost three years! Great quality
  • As advertised great hat, bike rides with the sun are perfect!!! Recommend it to anyone needing sun protection who’s active outdoors!!
  • Fits great, excellent protection from the sun.
  • Have owned many cheaper boonies that just flop in the wind. Easily worth the extra dough.
  • All ok
  • Great hat, great fit 
  • Love these hats. I have 3 now. Use them for all kinds of activities. I have also gotten many of my friends to buy these. They swear by them. They perform as advertised and look great. Worth every penny!
  • I liked the first one so well, I bought a second. I started with Landhawk theme bought Seahawk. Bought for 2 reasons, a size that fits and no flop brim.
  • Very impressed, probably will purchase another. Well thought out design and good quality.
  • Great fit, light weight, and very breathable. And it floats. What else could you ask for?
  • Best sun hat I’ve ever worn. Love it.
  • Our 5th Shelta hat. There is no better sun hat for an active person.
  • Finally a UPF Sun hat that holds its shape! This is what Ive been searching for.
  • Great hats!
  • Nice fit and feel. Comes with extended hand covers which I was not expecting.
  • Great product.
  • I love the fact that the brim stays straight and doesn’t sag!

  • Its a comfortable well made hat.
  • Comfortable well made hat!
  • Perfection.
  • Went on jet ski in the keys! This hat was the bomb, did not move in the wind. Very light and your head does not get hot. Worth the price
  • Awesome hat. Pricey, but after using it I’m glad I have it. I hate those floppy hats and the Shelta hat fixed that issue.
  • Great hat!
  • Awesome
  • Great hat lightweight but sturdy
  • Definitely the best beach hat Ive ever had! Great features and quality. Its everything its advertised as. Highly recommended.
  • Great product, second time purchased!
  • Sheets caps like their hats are simply the best
  • Very good
  • Great hat.
  • I like the front being stiff. I wear when fishing. When driving my bass boat it doesn’t bend up like most floppy hats do. This prevents sun glare from interfering with driving the boat towards the sun. Very good for boating.
  • Fits perfectly!!!
  • Good hat
  • Great hat very well made
  • Incredible hat!
  • Awesome hat, this is the 3rd I have purchased!
  • Slick concept for a hat. I dig it.
  • Favorite hat. If you haven’t gotten yourself one. Get one you wont regret it. Shipping was fast too
  • Great Hat.
  • Pros are it’s a great hat, water resistant, love the tighter brim sides, the rigid front brim, as well as, the strap holder! I just wish it was not made in China.
  • Great fit holds well in the wind. Going to get another one.
  • Third one of these. Great hat for sun coverage and not too hot on top. I drop a jeep with no top and doors in the summer. THIS IS the hat for you as it wont flop down in front of your eyes or flip back defeating the purpose of a hat. The brim on this hat was a bit angular compared to the previous two but you can flatten them out over time.
  • Best bucket hats
  • Great hat for boating, jet skiing or just on the beach.
  • Good buy
  • Totally impressed with this hat. The bill stays in place, just like they say it will. I ran 65mph down the lake this past week, it stayed in place and protected my face from the sun. Highly recommend this hat. I’m going to order another one.
  • Great hat, second one Ive gotten from them and waiting on other colors to become available so I can order a couple more!
  • Lightweight, great sun protection, and stands up to the wind!
  • Great addition for added protection
  • Great added protection
  • Another great Shelta hat, very lightweight and great sun protection
  • Great service and delivery.
  • Came quickly and exactly what I needed.
  • Wish I had got a different color but I like the hat. Don’t know if its worth $74.50 but I like the hat and if definitely better than what you get a Walmart.
  • Short time living with this hat. I use it primarily for pickleball and Hiking/camping/fishing. It is amazing, keeps you cool, and the no-flop tech keeps the brim from getting in the way. I will own this hat forever.
  • Fits as posted and is awesome
  • Great!
  • Perfect for golf and other outdoor activities
  • “Absolutely awesome hat!! Very comfortable and lightweight. It dries quickly when wet, and the high visibility helps tremendously when needed.
  • I highly recommend this hat, and any other product offered by this company.”
  • Super comfortable and easy to clean! Get yours ASAP!
  • Great sturdy hat
  • My third one. They are great. No flop when sailing in lots of wind. Comfy when playing golf too.
  • Nice driving gloves.
  • This was a gift and it was a hit! He loved it! Fast shipping and got it before Christmas!
  • The Seahawk is absolutely awesome! I would highly recommend buying a Shelta Hat if you want a hat that looks great and works perfectly!
  • Best hat ever
  • Worth every penny
  • Shelta hats have been the best investments I’ve made in sun protection other than actual sunscreen. Phenomenal fit and materials. The Seahawk is my go to bucket hat, the Tech Cap is my go to daily.
  • Amazing hat!
  • I use this while riding my Wave runner. Works perfect
  • Good quality hat, price is a bit high for what it is.
  • 50 miles in 4 days in the Sierras and I’m very glad I had these gloves. Sunny the whole time and trekking poles in my hands for hours and my hands were protected. Great product!
  • Nice hat
  • Great product at a great price
  • Great product at a great price
  • Returned for a smaller size, guess my head isn’t as big as I thought. Seems solid though
  • Very Nice lightweight glove which provides good grip on my stainless steel wheel when wet !! All the While keeping the Sun Off my hands !!
  • I have a large oval head, this hat stays in place –the only one that has so far.
  • Great
  • It’s light, provides great protection & the brim stays put
  • Works exactly as advertised. I have a bucket head so I ended up with the XXL which fit perfectly even though I technically fall into the XL category. I thought the vents might not be adequate, but it turns out they work very well and I don’t sweat excessively like I’ve done other hats. Thank you for making a hat for people with bucket heads like me.
  • Perfect fit and so cute! Just what I need here in the Las Vegas sun!
  • Perfect hat for the beach!!
  • Excellent quality. Fit and finish are top notch. Highly recommend this for anyone interested in a hat that provides excellent sun protection.
  • Love this comfortable hat! The bill does not bend in the wind!
  • Best sunhat I’ve owned (and I’m old). I have had another Shelta hat (Osprey) for years, but this one (Condor) protects better.
  • These hats are great. It stays on going 30 kts on my boat. I have 3, when this one arrives.
  • Perfect for my recent Disney World trip with family. It protected my head and neck from the intense sun/heat, but also the orange made it easy for my family to follow my lead when walking through the very busy parks!
  • The front brim will not flop, even when it is wet. Well designed and fits great!
  • No flop, good undercarriage. I give it a 7.9 That’s it, that’s the review
  • Great hat.
  • Well made, fits well, and looks good.
  • Fantastic sun hat. Love that it holds its shape in the wind. Sharp looking and love the color!!!
  • Great hat, good design. Delivered on time, haven’t had out in a strong wind to test its strength.
  • Exactly as advertised. Great product!
  • Excellent hat! This is my second one. They are very durable. I like that the brim doesn’t flop around. Does a great job of blocking the sun without being too big.
  • Best hat ever !
  • This hat is everything I wanted it to be. It is my convertible top-down hat.
  • Goofy looking but they do not come off and work as billed
  • Great hat great protection
  • Was going to wear this hat after work hours but i liked it so much it became my everyday hat
  • Great
  • Love this hat, great features, my 2nd one.
  • Love their hats, on my third one!
  • Awesome hat super lite, and cool
  • Best sun hat I’ve owned. I love how it keeps it’s form and shape without the brim flopping around. It also feels more comfortable with batter made material than my Columbia hats.
  • The gloves are comfortable and they keep my hands free from sunburn. Great item.
  • Great hat, I think its perfect for hunting/fishing. Brim blocks the sun but does catch on brush.
  • Awesome design and quality.
  • Good quality and washes well!
  • Nice comfortable hat light weight and fits perfectly!
  • Great fit and coverage
  • Nice fit
  • Best hats. My fifth.
  • Love this shirt!
  • When the products i ordered arrived they fully met what i expected in terms of quality and functionality.
  • I REALLY LIKE THE WAY SHELTA FISHING GLOVES FIT MY HANDS AND HOW COMFORTABLE THEY FEEL.
  • Great
  • Great
  • These are great gloves. They fit great, are well made and love the fact that they have UPF protection. I loved my pair so much, I bought an extra pair for myself and a pair for my husband.
  • Best sun hat hands down! This is my third – I have a Raptor and a Condor. This Osprey is probably my favorite thanks to the second set of eyelets for the strap which were added further back since I normally have the strap hanging in back. All 3 are very high quality and very comfortable to wear in all types of weather. I really appreciate that Shelta makes their hats on a large size as I have a large cranium and almost all OSFA and OSFM hats don’t fit. I highly recommend Shelta’s hats!!
  • Love!
  • Great hat! I bought to use on my Yamaha Wave runner fits perfectly, love it!
  • This is my second Shelta Seahawk. I have had my original Seahawk v1 for 3 years and have loved it. This new limited Seahawk v2 is even better! Slightly stiffer brim, love the new material and design.
  • Got this for my husband for valentines day he so loved it
  • “Perfect fit. Does exactly what I need it to do with ease.
  • I live on the Outer Banks. I live in this hat on the beach, while fishing, at the water park with my grandkids and friends. So good, I just bought a falcon to use as a car hat
  • Bought these for sun protection during our daily walks and hiking and they didn’t disappoint. Highly recommended!
  • Have 2 Ospreys and they are the best sun hat I have ever owned. Very lightweight and comfortable. And this is coming from a guy who never used to wear hats.
  • I just received my Shelta Condor V2 LTD hat in size XXL and the hat is fabulous! I have a larger head and always have trouble with “one size fits all” style hats. The adjustability and the fit are spot on for a person who regularly wears a 7 5/8 or larger fitted hat. It starts a little loose, then I can adjust it for the occasion. Very cool and comfortable out in the elements…can’t recommend it enough.
  • Perfect sun hat protect oneself looks good too.
  • I took the hat on the golf course twice since I received it and got compliments both times. It is cool and kept the sun off my face and neck all day. Much better than a baseball hat with better coverage than a standard bucket hat. This is my second Shelta product, but likely not the last.
  • This truly is comfortable light and keeps the sun off my face. I am a red head so 5 minutes in the sun and Im a shade of a tomato. Very comfortable. Highly recommended. Like the stash pocket in the top. I wish the Condor had the Stash pocket as I like the Storm Grey color. I will likely purchase a camo as well.
  • Love my new black Shelta. I think these hats are amazing. They look great, feel great and handle all weather conditions. You cant go wrong.
  • My expectations have been surpassed with this hat. The XXL fits my huge head very nicely, and with a little room to breathe. Ill be buying another for sure.
  • Hat fit great sun protection good and stay head on windy days
  • At first I thought was too tight, and gonna be hot. Florida sun bite shards. Somewhere in my yard work, I forgot it was on. No burnt scalp, no bugs in my hair. Its a great hat.
  • My most recent Shelta hat arrived quickly and as usual fits well. I like the new modifications to the SeaHawk and look forward to a long relationship with this new hat
  • I don’t write many reviews, but this hat is pretty awesome. It’s hard to find a full brim hat that garners compliments, but I’ve received a few already. But the best part is the brim: I’ve had my boat at full throttle, and the hat won’t flutter. I’ve biked in a gale, and the hat stays put.
  • Fast shipping, excellent customer service and well designed. My second purchase currently, very pleased, if you chase species offshore, this is a must have in your kit. Just buy it, you wont be disappointed!
  • I had been looking for a new hat for awhile. I like the no flop brim and its light and comfortable. so far it breathes well. Haven’t put it to a full trial but so far i like it.
  • My everyday hat. Love this hat in the Texas wind.
  • Keeps me cool and covered from the sun!! Definitely worth it and I already recommended the shirt to my coworkers!!
  • Love the visor on this hat! I bought this hat for our trip to Florida. Its been kayaking, fishing, boating and works great!!! Highly recommend
  • Fit without any problems. The palms are textured for a better grip. It is still too cold but I will definitely use them more often in the summer.
  • Looking forward to trying them out.
  • Ventilation improved over the Raptor V2. Also, the cut of the fabric in the cap is much better looking than the raptor. I will have to see how it does when things heat up here in TX, but so far, so good.
  • Smart design, great fit and fun color. Love this hat and highly recommend it!
  • I work outside in Florida and i wear these hats everyday, comfortable last long and no flop in the wind
  • Great hat, 2nd one I’ve purchased.
  • “Great hat, stays on my head in gusty winds. Keeps the sun off of my face and ears as this was the reason for purchasing.
  • Go Gators! ( I bought the orange one)”
  • Prefect Sun hat keeps the sun off head and neck. Great quality. Sizing is perfect shipped super fast. Would definitely recommend.. I use this to move my grass in the hot Texas sun.
  • I had two Seahawk hats for 8-9 years and needed to replace them. I got two new Seahawk V2 hats and they’re even better. My old hats were medium sized and according to the measurement instructions, the correct size is medium, however, I needed to replace the new hats for a large. Shelta makes exchanges super easy.
  • This is my third ,Shelta hat. The other two are still in service. All are light and comfortable and they provide excellent protection from the sun.
  • Fits nicely, like the style. Have no complaints.
  • This is my 5th Shelta hat, you should pay me for all the referrals! This is the best hat with the best protection under the Sun, a must for sportsmen/fisherman like me that have had Basel cell carcinoma. The hat stays put with the awesome no-flop brim at 42mph on the boat! Unbeatable in so many ways!
  • So glad to have found a high quality true outdoor hat for camping and hiking that actually fits. I wear an 8+ size and the xxxl fits perfectly. Not too tight or too loose. The quality was much higher than I was expecting even better than my made in Canada hats that I have worn for years. And they got it to me in 3 days which was a surprise. Good job Shelta!
  • Only had the hat for about a week. Love the fit and quality. I look forward to wearing on our boat.
  • “Personally loved the hat and it fit great. And I love all the features for it. But the wife couldn’t.
  • stand how it looked on me and said she wouldn’t be caught with me while I was wearing it. So I had to return it. :(“
  • As advertised
  • Great hat and great value with my personalized touch.
  • Who doesn’t love a boonie hat with the perfect shape and fit? Ill probably get a few more colors as my go to retirement head gear.
  • This is by far the best hat I’ve ever purchased. Wore it all day on the boat and had no issues with the brim flopping like other hats I own. This is going to replace them all!!!
  • I have had hats & caps with neck shields before, but they were always problematic. They were sewn on, which meant they were lying on your neck, wet and dirty or they were held on with elastic bands or Velcro which meant after a hard breeze or large splash they went their own way. The toggle fastening system means quick attachment in 2 positions (under the brim or over the brim) and a much move secure sun shield.
  • Great Hat. Still have my Olive Camo Seahawk, but use that mostly for working around the house. This Sand Dune hat will be used for traveling.
  • “Working as a Land Surveyor and got fried by the sun on a construction site. After looking around at different companies, I settled on spending the money for a SeaHawk V2 & Neck Shield. Thoroughly pleased with this product. Has helped to significantly cut down the sunburn after long days, comfortable to wear for extended periods of time and the front flap being more rigid to help stay out of eye-line have been my biggest pro’s. if you plan on wearing the Seahawk for extended periods of time(4-5 hours) and measure per Shelta’s guidelines, maybe give yourself an extra 1/4″” of measurement, however i also may have measured too close.
  • I am beyond pleased with my purchase and would recommend this product to anyone needing a hat for sun protection!”
  • Excellent hat. Wear them primarily for golf. I have 7 7/8 hat size and find it very difficult to find a hat that fits comfortably. Got the XXL and fits perfect on smallest size adjustment. A L/XL may have worked too. Very comfortable and cool. I have 4 of them in different colors.
  • Shells makes a great hat. Useful for all seasons & any time you need a hat. Quality in build & materials. Speedy shipping.
  • I did not know what a Shelta hat even was, until my dermatologist recommended I purchase one, and I can tell you this is the best sun hat I have ever owned. I spend a lot of time outside gardening, and I used to get sunburned through my so called SPF hat. Now I can spend all day outside without worry and without sunburn, if you are on the fence about getting one, I would suggest you get one and give it a try I went through a lot of the name brands and none hold a candle to Shelta, a great hat that is wear all day comfortable.
  • “I have had numerous skin cancers so I work very had to protect myself. I have several wide-brimmed hats but most of the time in Texas there is a breeze blowing and the front of the brim flops up in the wind. My new Shelta hat solves the problem since the brim stays down (no flop) . I purchased the Shelta Thunderbird V2 LTD Performance Sun Hat in Size medium. Most of the reviews I read about Shelta hats were written by men which made it kind of challenging to choose. The description of this hat mentioned that women like it so I took a chance on this model.
  • I have the sage green. It fits perfectly. The other choice was bright orange. I hope the company adds more colors and attracts more women to consider their products.”
  • Used my Shelta Condor LTD on a two week hiking trip in Utah & Arizona and worked out wonderfully. Offers plenty of sun protection and it stayed put on my head with 30 mph winds.
  • I mainly bought this for when I mow, recently I was the victim of the sun, with a cancerous spot that had to be surgically removed from my upper jaw area….sun damage is real. Protect yourself.
  • The safety orange is great to be seen while exercise walking along roadways. Fits perfectly and love the sun protection!
  • Love this hat.
  • I depend on these hats for all types of outdoor activity from yard work to paddle boarding and kayaking and boating off shore or inland lakes. I wear these hats in the pool to protect my face and head from the sun! I have a Shelta hat purchased over 5 years ago that is still looking good and added two new ones for style!
  • Own 4, use them for golf. I have 7 7/8 hat size and shelta is one of the few hats that fit.
  • Just what I was looking for 2xl size very light to wear in Florida golfing, will be ordering another style in future for pool and beach wear
  • Love the fit, material, and color great for hot weather!
  • Love it. As a speed boater? I need a hat that wont flop. Comfortable &, so far, has worked well on windy days walking the dogs
  • I’ve only had 2 occasions to wear this hat, but it’s been what I expected and needed. I like everything about it thus far.
  • This is my third Osprey hat and feels lighter than the previous two. must the LTD material difference. I also have 2 Seahawk hats and 1 Condor model. I also have a Shelta V2 Tech Cap. All Shelta headwear are very high quality and very well designed. The hats provide superior protection and are extremely comfortable to wear. I love the products and highly recommend them.
  • Great hat . Stays putt. Well made. Very happy customer. Only wore it a few times and looking forward to wearing it more. Shelta knocked this one out the park. I purchased the landhawk. Great so far .thanks Shelta
  • I needed a sun hat for golf that could handle the winds on the course. This serves the purpose very well. It’s comfortable, not too big as to interfere with my swing, and doesn’t flop around when lining up putts. Great product.
  • “This hat is HIGH quality and looks it too., it keeps you cool as well and can be tightened too.
  • Its worth the price, I’ve never had a hat be so comfortable!!!”
  • I have an original Osprey which I still have- the new updated version has nice new touches to it!
  • This is my 3rd Shelta and I love it. Its comfortable, looks good and wears great.
  • I recently purchased the Osprey and immediately put it to the test. It has out performed itself and I’m very pleased with my purchase.
  • As described perfect fit for my next adventure
  • Hiked cactus to clouds with trekking poles wearing the Shelta sun gloves and loved em! Great sun protection and grips on the palms. Super comfy.
  • Nothing compares to these I would read them a 10 out of 10 compared to the cheap ones that I’ve bought in the past!!
  • Fit and construction is excellent. Will be great this year in Idaho and Wyoming.
  • Perfect stiff brim front w also some neck and ear protection. Doesn’t blow off when the top and doors are off the JEEP . And looks nice as well. I’m picky about my hats and this one is great!!!
  • My friend recommended these gloves to me for our hike through the Tour de Mont Blanc. Lightweight, quick drying, the light grip on the palm side was just the right amount. I also like the button that snaps them together when not in use,, so you don’t lose just one glove. I’m recommending them to all my hiker buddies.
  • Great hat! Fit was very good and function is even better.
  • read the title 🙂
  • Use them in most outdoor all day tasks
  • If you need protection from the sun, these are for you. My hand don’t get too hot in August heat in Oklahoma. One tip, wash them every use. They start stinking if you don’t.
  • Love the Osprey so far. Wearing it a lot and so far so good. Love the narrowness; to echo another review it wears like a ball cap and protects the back of the neck. Very stylish as well and you wont look like another broad brim. My wife wants one too now. It seems really well made and that’s obviously important because they are not inexpensive. I plan on getting another style just to have another option with a wider brim to compliment this one when I need a little more sun protection.
  • excellent details
  • happy customer
  • Lightweight, comfortable, covering most of each finger without significant drag for swimming /surfing. Good UV protection. Also protects fragile skin from friction injuries/minor trauma. Have tried other types but these fit the best without causing compression and hand/joint pain. Thanks, Shelta!
  • I wanted one after I saw someone wearing it on video.
  • On my 5th Shelta hat, having used for Golf, back packing, boating, camping or taking long walks in Northern AZ where the sun shines brighter – especially when you live at 5,300 ft. Highly recommended.
  • My new favorite ! Soft and the perfect weight for California day or night – loving it !
  • Great hoodie
  • These hats are the best!
  • Super comfortable and durable!
  • The Landhawk V arrived in a decent amount of time. I was concerned about how it would fit and look, but I needn’t be. The look on and off my head was perfect. I picked the Atlas Camo. At first I thought it might be too big, but there are so many adjustments you can make to the fit, that now it fits perfect. I used the sizing instructions from the website to order my size and it worked out just fine. The hat really is customizable once you read the instructions. Laundering instructions are simple and clear. I thought it would make me look ridiculous as most hats do on my head, but I was impressed. The brim is the right size and most of the brim is easy to adjust. The neck strap can be worn on or off the hat. It can be adjusted to use through either set of holes in the brim or both. The neck strap can also be completely removed if you wish. There is a secret storage pocket in the crown of the hat for your license a key or any other thing you can think of that is lightweight. This is really going to save me on the rainy, windy days of my hikes, I think. The brim is always the problem with other similar style of hats that force me to instead, wear baseball hats and keep the back of my neck exposed. Now, I have a better option with this hat. A sturdy bring for the front and a really adjustable back for the neck. The medium brim size is perfect as well. The gel coated section of the forehead portion of the headband prevents slipping and makes it more comfortable to wear. The hat is extremely light, but in tests, I don’t see this hat blowing off any time soon and will keep the sun off of me where needed. They really thought of everything in this hat and I personally think so far, that it is well worth the money.
  • I was annoyed for some time going down the Flint River in Georgia and the hat not providing proper shade. There’s one that I have is just a bit too big. Decided to give Shelta a try and I’m glad I did! I Iove it! No more flapping while cruising up and down the river! And while stop provides the proper shade. For me it’s just the right size and weight.
  • Awesome
  • Great fit. Light. Breathes. Perfect for golf.
  • Great hat for all outdoor activities. Worth every penny.
  • Perfect for 100°+ bike rides. Stays right where I need it.
  • I’ve got a Seahawk that I’ve been beating the heck out of for 4 years and it’s still in great shape. Weekly saltwater, sun, sweat and I even ran it through the wash a few times (which they say not to do), and no degradation in structural condition. Time will tell on this Yakka cap but but my initial impression is that the build quality, materials and fit are comparable. I originally found this company by searching around for hats for large head sizes. My head is size 8 (25″) which is darn near impossible to find other than fitted hats, and there aren’t many options for that. The 3x Seahawk actually has a little extra space and can be tightened slightly; that’s the first time I’ve ever said that about a hat. This 2x Yakka claims to fit up to a size 8, but I think it has enough adjustment to fit slightly more than that. It fits me comfortably.
  • So hard to find hats when you have a large melon. This is my fourth Shelta Hat. Love it.
  • This is the first snap back style hat I’ve ever found that fits me due to my large head. This is my 3rd shelta hat, the other ones are sun hats. Absolutely love these hats!!
  • It’s very comfortable
  • Best hat ever
  • Cool hat.
  • I’ve been a Shelta fan ever since I got my Seahawk hat a few years ago, but this is my first ball cap style. Not surprisingly, it is of similar high quality, fits well and looks great. I plan to wear this golfing and while it will not make me a better (or even decent) golfer, it’ll make me feel better about myself.
  • Great hat!!
  • So great & easily shaped
  • A great sun shirt! A cool graphic design! And a reasonable price!
  • My second so far. Great hat.
  • Great fit, design and fabric
  • Bought 4 sun shirts for a pending tri to Costa Rica. Well made and fit well! Looking forward to how they work.
  • Excellent hoodie
  • I’ve reviewed the original Condor, it needed some mods. I obtained the early V2 in sage green & I will say the improvements made are huge! The additional air holes make a huge difference in circulation. The original Condor was ok if the wind was blowing but really did vent too well. The pocket is helpful on the crown as it allows thin foam to help maintain its shape & allow air to flow better around the crown. I punched holes in the foam which also helps it breathe. So far its been great in warm & sunny AZ!
  • I had a Condor I hat and just upgraded to a Condor II Both hats are great. Like the fit of the better!
  • This is my second Condor v2. And Ill probably come back and get a 3rd in Camo. It is extremely comfortable and keeps my pink skin from turning 3 sheets of red. I purchased the original Condor many moons ago and lost it. So I purchased the Blue which surprisingly is the best color for UV protection followed by Black & Red. That scientific fact actually surprised me as I thought White would be the better choice. I chose the condor for greater sun protection. And these are the best hats for beach, boating, hacking etc. you need at least one.
  • Just migrated from the Landhawk to a Condor v2. Landhawk demoted to lawn mowing. Really appreciate the large sizes available. Landhawk is still in great shape a couple years later. Just rinse in the bathtub and hang to dry = brand new
  • Use this for golf, walking the dogs, anything outside. The wider brim protects your face, neck and ears better than a baseball cap. Adjustable brim keeps it snug on your head in windy days. This is my third Shelta hat and I wear all of them.
  • This is my favorite full brim hat I own. The design is genius, it’s very comfortable and it stay put in the wind! I will be buying other styles for sure.
  • Then buy this hat. Perfect for any outdoor activity in windy conditions.
  • Forget other hats. Buy this one.
  • I love that the brim doesn’t flop down at high speed on my boat or wave runner. It is great sun protection is well vented.
  • Best outdoor hat for water sports. Perfect fit and excellent material. Love it !!!
  • I have an Osprey and 2 Seahawks. Decided to go even wider brim with the Condor. Absolutely love it! More sun coverage for my ears and neck and a more traditional wide brim look. Hard to decide which design to wear. They..they are all great for yard work,, outdoor workouts, cutting grass on the zero turn, boating (and skiing) or walking around downtown Clemson! Cant go wrong with any of them!
  • Very pleased with hat purchased several years ago. Decided it was time for a fresh hat for my boating trips and purchased this model with the 3 1/2 inch wide brim. My wife also jumped in on the purchase and got one of her own in the silver color Now that they have the smaller women sizes – which is a great improvement. Prefer the brown camouflage however to the silver camouflage that came with this one, but the construction of the hat is spot on and the fit is perfect.
  • “Recently my puppy chewed up the cord system from my shelta hat. I’m so glad a replacement was available and very reasonable to purchase.
  • Thanks you Shelta!”
  • Beautiful, never falls off my head , great protection from UV and helps keep cool.
  • “Hat fits great and it does what they said it would do. Doesn’t flop.
  • Quality made.
  • Delivered very quickly.”
  • My noggin’ is huge. I got the XXL and it fit great, even with some slack! As looks go, I was pleasantly surprised that this doesn’t look disproportionately big, and is better than a LOT of sunhats I researched. Worth the price.
  • What a great hat. Wore it the 1st time today to play golf. No complaints held up great with 10-15 mph winds. Look forward to wearing it for the rest of the summer. Would highly recommend…..
  • Since I’ve had Shelta Hats for approx. 10 years now, I figured it was time to get a new Shelta! My 10 year old hats are holding up great but wanted to get an updated design. The Condor V2 camo did not disappoint. Extremely happy with the fit and durability! Also the Sun coverage over my ears and neck.
  • The Shelta hats are wonderful! I gifted this hat to a friend who will be racing in the 340 Mile Missouri River Race. I had been talking up the hard brim in front and he thought that could be very helpful during the grueling race. He’s excited about the hat, likes the way it looks and fits. Always useful to have the larger hat sizes available.
  • “I took the Condor V2 Performance Sun Hat with me on a recent trip to New York and Niagara Falls, and it absolutely delivered. From the city streets to boat tours by the falls, this hat stayed put, stayed cool, and kept the sun off my face the whole time. The wide brim gives great sun coverage without feeling oversized or floppy. Even in wind and mist, the hat didn’t lose its shape, that No Flop visor brim is no joke. The vents really helped keep my head from overheating while walking around in the heat, and I liked knowing the fabric had UPF 50+ protection.
  • The fit was perfect (I got size xxxl), and the cinch cord came in handy more than once. Its super lightweight but feels solid. Bonus: it floats (yes, I tested that), and the interior stash pocket was a cool surprise for keeping small things secure.
  • Highly recommend this hat if you’re heading anywhere sunny, wet, or both. Solid performance, smart design, and it looks good too.”
  • Excellent fit form, shade and wind control. Absolutely no flop like Dave Portnoy’s Pizza ratings.
  • Great coverage, good wind resistance, excellent quality and appearance!
  • Everyone loves it
  • “I live in South AL and my job has me in the sun a large part of the day and a if I am not working I am at the beach or on the Lake. Therefore I spend a great amount of time in the sun during the summer months. I have purchased several “”Cheaper”” brands and they do not seem to hold up under a daily usage.
  • So, I thought I would step up a little and try something different.
  • I purchased this just before an anniversary trip to Jamaica. While in Jamaica it wore great and keep me cool the entire time.
  • Needless to say I loving it currently.
  • I am interested in the longevity and durability.
  • We will have to see.”
  • Quality and fit are excellent. I didn’t like how sport crown looked, so I returned it. Will be buying a similar model with the boonie crown when the one I want is back in stock.
  • I have a few of their hats, now the gloves and mask. They all fit well, have lasted a very long time and feel very comfortable.
  • I received my Condor V2 about 2 weeks ago and it is great. Helps keep the sun off my head on beach days. Easy to clean. The brim stays firm and my head stays cool.
  • The hat is very well made, light weight and good sun protection I like the stash pouch to carry a couple things. The only con would be the delivery some how got mixed up so I hade to change the delivery dates a couple times.
  • Wow I couldn’t be happier with this hat. It’s so hard to find caps that fit my size 8+ fat head. My Condor v2 in XXL fits so comfortably with a little room to spare. The crown material keeps my head much cooler than all my other hats. The 3inches of material all around the bill keeps the sun off my face ears and neck. Best hat I’ve ever owned.
  • I can’t speak highly enough about the three Condor hats I own! They are great for any outdoor activities as well as yard work. I have a size 7-7/8″ to 8″ head size, these hats fit so nice. Great hats and fantastic company!
  • “Floppy hats are no longer…bring on the breeze, the sun and anything else, because the shelta handles it.
  • With the vent in the top, the hat stays as cool as it can here in Florida, and does a better job than most of my prior hats. Maybe a little more venting would do it, but in 95 degree heat what more can you really do…
  • Thank you, I love it.”
  • I now have 3 shelter hats and the Condor V2 is my favorite as it has a 3″ brim. A golf specific hat with a 3.5″ brim would be a good option here as many of my golfing buddies wear golf specific hats with floppy brims . Love my Shelta hats
  • Awesome hat love it wished u all would make a hat with shorter brim tho.but very nice and comfortable
  • Adding another Griffin to the rack. First one has been across the ocean many times and still looks and wears great.
  • Great Hat and product!
  • I love this hat. I used it at the lake this weekend, and it was perfect. I will probably buy the land hawk to cut grass in because I heard they are a little cooler.
  • the quality is amazing and the fit is just right. i have been looking for a hat to wear doing yardwork in the heat a& it is perfect. great cover from the sun and super light. i do not look good in baseball hats – but this style makes me look badass. ha! really good hat! get one!
  • Looks great, stays on like it is supposed to, even in high wind. I haven’t even started wearing the chin strap yet. I’m very happy with my hat and considering buying a second one to give me color options. I’m actually looking forward to having some truly bad weather so I can really test the hat.
  • I bought my first one of these because my son-in-law recommended. They have been great hiking hats in the high desert as well as the mountains. It’s my go to hat
  • Love the look of the hat. Great material. Legionnaire add on is really easy to use. Sizing wise it was just a little snug even though I measured it before order, so returned (without fuss) for next size up. Practical, stylish, light, super easy to pack, which I do a lot. Count me as fan.
  • great summer hat , no complaints performs as it should.
  • My second shelta, great fit and performs as expected.
  • “As advertised. I wore it in 35 mph winds and driving a boat this weekend (not at the same time!) and it was great that the brim stayed put!
  • The hat may run a bit large. I’ve got a big head, ordered the xl and I can still slip a couple of fingers inside the brim.”
  • This strap holds the hat down well during kite boarding.
  • I had to go up 1 size but in doing so I found a hat that fits very well. It protects me from the sun and rain which was my reason for buying it. My only reservation is price which of course I knew before purchasing it. If the price was closer to $60 I would purchase an extra hat, perhaps another style or color but for $80 this single version will have to serve me well for years to come and I expect it will.
  • “I love my new Shelta hat, and am sold on Shelta as a company. My head is right on the line between two sizes. I bought one, and unfortunately, it wound up being slightly too large. Shelta has the BEST return process I’ve ever seen with a company. I returned it, and bought another one the next size down.
  • This hat is great! It stays on, even when I encountered a heavy wind while walking last week, and I can pull it back and down if I want to protect my neck even more. And the options with these hats are great!
  • Highly, highly recommend!”
  • Its a niche hat for sure but build quality is comparable to a Tilley, ultimate compliment. The new style is a vast improvement over the original, particularly on fit. Its my go to for hot weather but still prefer 100% cotton for colder times. Well built, great customer service. Highly recommended.
  • The hut stays where it should be, on a head. I finally got a hut I can sail in.
  • “This hat is great for kayaking, hiking, paddle boarding…many outdoor sports. The fit is perfect! I like how the hat is streamline and not too big. I love the orange color too. It’s hard to find a good orange color in a hat.
  • Cheers to saving your face from sun damage.”
  • Great hat while boating or on the golf course!!!
  • I purchased this hat because I was tired of every other brim hat I’ve owned flopping in my face while moving fast on the boat. Dont have that problem anymore with the Shelta and it keeps my face and ears from getting sunburned!
  • “This hat is fantastic. It works very well ,especially while paddling into a stiff wind. It remains secure and is comfortable to wear.
  • This truly is a high quality product and should last a very long time. I certainly recommend spending the $$ as compared to many other hats.”
  • Fit was great, right on for my measurements. Quality seems very good and stiff brim will be a bonus in the wind, rain and on the boat.
  • Good product and quick delivery
  • Fits great and will work great under other caps.
  • Great sun protection. Stiff brim exactly as advertised. Could use a little more ventilation on hot days.
  • This is my second hat I lost the first one on a trip really missed. It had to order another feels great on very comfortable and never have to worry about it blowing off. Went to Yellowstone and some high winds around the Geyer’s no problem.
  • I’ve been really happy with my Condor 2 purchase. The no flop brim meets my needs for Jet ski rides, pontoon boat and fishing.
  • This is my second Shelta hat & first with neck shield. I really like both. I have a lot of skin damage from years in the sun & this is the protection I need. Highly recommend.
  • This is a nice hat and very very comfortable for my big head. Its not tight around the brim and is actually not to hot in the sun. I really like the brim and the stiffness with no movement with wind or water. Looking forward to many many years.
  • I love the look but it was a bit too small so I returned it for a larger size.
  • great hat really enjoy in while tubing the kids
  • I wore it while boating in the hot sun for an entire week – it was fantastic!
  • Great for boating on the water. No flop, nice lanyard to keep it anchored somewhere when not on your head.
  • I wear the Land Hawk for pickleball and golf…and it works well for both activities. I like it so much that I just ordered another hat from Shelta.
  • Has been great so far. Wish there was more colors like the limited edition ones. Also just a suggestion to make a pocket along the outside brim to store the chin cord that comes with it.
  • “My third hat purchase, this one is for the lake, pool side, etc.
  • Love these hats! Features like the firm bill that’s not going blow in your face, durability, the adjustable stretch cord, the chin strap with a clip on hook attaches nicely in the top button hole of a shirt. Larger Sizes available (I’m a XXL). Great color/pattern options. Not cheap but you usually get what you pay for.”
  • I recently purchased the Seahawk V2. It fits great, shades great and absolutely holds up when you fall off your paddle board. I submerged it with no worries. Chin strap worked great. Its really comfortable. I wore it for the first time and kept it on all day. Id highly recommend for sure.
  • Third one we bought! Gave one to our Dad for father’s day. Comfortable and lightweight. With stands the wind on the river!
  • Great fit and seems to be durable. I will be reluctant to put this hat in the washing machine like I do with my other Shelta full brim hats.
  • Excellent hat
  • This is my first Shelta hat and it did not disappoint. The brim is perfect for keeping your face and neck protected from the sun. I bought this hat for fishing in Canada and I never had to hold my hat one time while motoring in the boat. The light camo color never got too hot in the full sun. I will be purchasing another one in a darker color for early season fishing. Overall a 10 out of 10!
  • Fits well. Looks good. Keeps the bad rays away. Couldn’t ask for more.
  • I ordered large based on the sizing chart only to discover it was too small. After an easy exchange I’m now the owner of the best hat ever. I searched a long time before I found Shelta and I’m very glad I did.
  • I bought this even though my hat has only two holes in the brim. Works just fine. I bought the bright orange to match my hat. Lightweight and provides great coverage.
  • I love hiking and Shelta is performing and protecting exceptionally!… Good clear explanations and guides on the website!…Included real thoughtful instructions from Shelta!…well made Hat- to the stitch!…I’m really happy with the hat for hiking! What a wonderful hat! it is bright orange, the brim stays, it doesn’t blow off here on the coast, it fits, it sweats good, it keeps cool, it cleans up good, the legionnaire part can go over, under, off! worth it and more!
  • These hats are great and I some each of my family members. The hats stay firm and protect our heads in the heat. Best investment.
  • Tried several hats to beat the heat during golf. This is the only one that checks all the boxes! Ordered another one for yard work so I can keep the first one clean!
  • “This is my third Shelta Hat. I use them to keep from getting fried while surfing in the midday sun. The brim does not flop. Unlike most hats, they breathe when they get wet – rather than boiling your head like a soggy hot mitt on your melon.
  • If you want to stay passionate about your outdoor sport without looking like a raisin at the end of the day, get a Shelta. Cheapest€¦No. Best purpose built value for your head and face – ABSOLUTELY.”
  • I use these hats while I’m cutting grass and love the coverage they provide and the no fold front brim is awesome.
  • This time of year in TX is stupid hot around 100 everyday, This hat works great for a Golf hat to keep the sun off your head and neck plus it doesn’t flop around in the wind. !!
  • Top quality
  • I use this for running, and it’s important that the sweat stays out of my eyes and the sun stays off my head. I’ve tried other tech hats, but they are bulkier and don’t fit as well. After losing my first Shelta I had to have another. I took this out of the package, put it on my head, and it was pure perfection. It stays put and does its job without drawing my attention to itself.
  • I have the blue water which has striking colors and i get so many compliments. The amazing material is the lightest but my fav is the techy grippy product applied to the palm area of the hand covers. Nobody else on the market has anything like it….plus the extra material at back of neck is a huge plus!
  • This is my second purchase. I bought my first hat from shelta hats probably 3 years ago. I work outdoors. It has been hard for me to find a hat that fits a 7 and 3/4. This one’s great. It’s light, and I love the wide brim. Very stylish in my opinion. You won’t be disappointed.
  • This is my second Shelta. The first is still in decent shape for seven years old. I still wear it for working outside.
  • I like the fit, well made, and provides great sun protection. Very impressed!
  • Great hat! Not cheap, but it is everything Shelta promised. I would buy it again.
  • I like the stiff brim so it doesn’t flip up in the wind and it covers my ears like
  • “Even without wind these hats are fantastic.
  • Coming from years of wearing Tilley hats these are a big upgrade
  • Breathe better
  • Lighter
  • More water resistant in rain
  • And the no flop brim gives you a solid point to adjust/ remove the hat by
  • One reason why we all love baseball caps is the simplicity of on /off and adjustments yes we like to advertise also but as I age that’s less important
  • But baseball caps don’t keep sun off of my ears or neck and can be warm
  • The Shelta hat solves all of these issues and more
  • I now have three love my bright red but so does every bee and wasp around (in summer anyway
  • The brown duck is a super color and the bugs go away compared to the red.
  • Guess these things are like lays potato chips cant have just one
  • See black in my future for winter use.
  • Get one get two heck get several you will love it from the retainer cords to the stash pocket inside super design”
  • Excellent protection from sun and works well ventilating and reducing heat compared to a regular capp
  • Great for sun protection! love that it doesn’t flop around while driving my boat. and it floats!
  • I loved it so much I ordered another one
  • The Shelta gift card was the perfect birthday gift for my sister, who loves kayaking. The fact that the card comes in the exact amount that the recipient will need is very convenient. I love my two Shelta hats, and now my sister loves hers too.
  • This hat started ast the light grey camouflage four or five years ago. I live in Houston, tx. It never leaves my dash which means it is in a 150 degree truck and in the direct sunlight most of the year. I swim in it, work on trucks and get grease on it, and absolutely abuse it. Still in perfect shape. Not one tear or a single thread out of place. I am purchasing another one today. I will never own another hat.
  • Best hats made
  • This is my second hat of the same type with matching neck shield, just wanted another color. These hats are great for shielding you from the sun, as I use mine for camping, hiking, kayaking and yard work on those sunny days. The no flop front visor/brim is another main reason I keep liking these hats, so nice on those windy and wet condition days. Keep up the great work Shelta of having versatile designs and colors. Thanks for the great hats and additional accessories you provide.
  • This is my second hat. Love them both. really like the solid brim and the ventilation.
  • I do a lot of jet ski riding and at 60 mph it still doesn’t flop. It def holds strong. At the same time as it will stay on at higher speeds the hat causes major lift which makes the neck piece slowly loosen. I bout the condor v2 extra wide it almost Covers All of my neck . With the brim shaped like it is it clears my glasses with no issue def will buy again
  • This is my third Shelta hat – all Seahawks V2’s – different colors. They provide great sun protection on and off the golf course. I have a difficult time finding golf hats that are big enough, but the Shelta XL is perfect.
  • This hat was built with intent. The features work and it is the best rec/fish kayak hat you can get.
  • Great Hat and waiting for a reply from the company on Free Face Gaiter
  • Works great for me in northern Maine on canoe trips.
  • Really enjoying this hat. The adjustable fit is great, product is well made and it looks good. Ill be buying more.
  • Bought hat based on shelta sizing chart. Fits perfect. Used hat recently while air chairing behind sport boat — stayed on with no problem and front rim stayed out of my eyes as shelta advertised it would. Best hat I’ve owned at of many.
  • Ordered a medium SeaHawk but it turned out to be too tight so I exchanged it for a large. Company was very professional and prompt about sending me the larger hat which fit perfectly. Loved everything about the hat except the brim is a little wider than I expected on the sides so I will be ordering probably in the future one of their hats with smaller width brims. Nevertheless this Seahawk is definitely a winner and great for those very sunny days when I will need all the shade I can get. Excellent craftsmanship, worth every penny !
  • Fits well has a nice feel to er
  • I wore out my first one, after 8 years of keel boat racing and a year cruising on a catamaran. Really, it faded out after too many washes, the hat itself if perfectly good.
  • The hat works great. It seemed a little large but fits comfortably and doesn’t come off in the wind.
  • USPS destroyed my package but Shelta hats made it right. Awesome company and will do business with again. Neck flap works well.
  • Works great , have several!
  • My husband uses this hat for work, he works outside at a nursery. Camo is perfect for not showing dirt and stains. This hat is easily cleaned, and he loves the shape of it, especially the front brim.
  • Bought for my wife — she loves it.
  • I really like this style hat. The brim is nice unlike others I’ve purchased. The size guide is not accurate. I used a tape measure for my 1st order. Size was too big in my opinion. But I’ll keep it for work. I just ordered another hat 1 size smaller.
  • Very easy purchase of a well made, good looking hat. Unfortunately, I ordered the wrong size and its currently being exchanged.
  • These are my new favorite hats. They are light weight, provide excellent coverage from the sun and cool on hot days. It’s almost like wearing nothing at all. They are really comfortable. They are a little pricey but well worth it, this is my second Shelta hat but not my last.
  • I received my hat and am very pleased with the results. It has all the features as advertised with a very comfortable fit.
  • Very happy with thie condor V2 hat! The draw string at the back tightens up to what you want and I no longer lose my hat while riding my motorcycle mustering or any other fast travel in my buggy!
  • This is the 3rd one I’ve owned and I’ve loved each one. Just need someone to remind me to get it out of the boat before trailering down the highway! These hats do everything they claim to do.
  • This is my third hat from Shelta. I like the look, and the quality, and the price seems appropriate to me. I also bought a sun shield shirt that fits well and looks nice. I will continue to look for products from Shelta.
  • I love these hats. They fits my head perfectly. Keep my head cool and protect me from the sun.
  • I do work in tropical countries, and we are always on the quest for the perfect hat to hold up in the heat and rain. This is it. Doesn’t fold down in wind or rain. Isn’t hot on the head. Floats. Functional. Light weight. A lot of care has gone in to make this the ideal adventure hat for an outdoor lifestyle.
  • I try like heck to keep the sun off my face while playing golf and kayaking. This hat is comfortable and the chin strap is comfortable on windy days
  • I got this hat in hopes of having a wide-brimmed hat for boating. All other wide brimmed hats flip up in the front leaving full sun in my face. Not this one! It passes with flying colors. It stays secure at speed and even in crosswinds or when looking behind. It is comfortable and fits my well. Thank you for making multiple sizes and such a great hat. I will buy more for gifts.
  • This is my favorite hat and my third shelta hat I started wearing these hats after have pre cancer skin surgery and even on a cloudy day you will find me walking around Chicago with my Shelta Condor hat
  • Excellent for golf on windy days. Provides great protection from sun and rain.
  • “Ive been wearing Shelta hats for years, fishing, hunting and in the yard. I recently bought a neck shield and it works! Put it on my yard hat and i can feel a difference, less sun on my neck. Its not too big either, doesn’t get in the way, just the right size.
  • Easy to attach, though you do have to keep the chin strap on but you can put that to the back and it stays out of the way.
  • I tell all my friends about them and even show them the video while on a boat (its in one of your adds too!)
  • They last a long time so don’t hesitate on the price. Buy one and you’ll probably buy another!”
  • The Shelta sun hats always perform well when I am on duty as a patrol boat park ranger.
  • I love these hats. They stay on and the firm bill doesn’t flap in the wind. I lost mine sailing in St. Lucia this year and had to order another one. I like the wider brim to keep more sun off. Would not go on a boat without my Shelta hat.
  • I also have the Condor and this is my hiking/ hunting hat. I love the fit and the no flip brim.
  • Nice shirt and hat.
  • This is my second one. I wear one on the boat and now I wear one at work.
  • “This is my second Shelta.
  • Bought camo for hunting this time.”
  • Just purchased my 2nd hat. Love the brim, the many special features that make it so flexible and functional. Made from materials that wear well and are easy to clean.
  • “Sure, its not a cheap hat. For me, its expensive for being just a hat. However, when I was riding across the lake with a wind blowing at 30 mph and me going 50 into that wind on my Seadog, the hat did its job. It didn’t fly off, the bill didn’t flap up.
  • Worth every penny.”
  • Good fit, well built. Thanks.
  • Na
  • So, I haven’t used it on the beach yet but I have an upcoming plan to give it a good test. The purchase and initial impression of the hat are good. Plus I have very high expectations and needs on the windy beach while surf fishing.
  • Since the hat was on sale and my original Shelta hat is 6 years old I took advantage of replacing it. Very satisfied with original Shelta hat. Still performs it is just faded.
  • I own 4 Shelta hats- different colors 2 Griffen 2 Condor. Griffen fit tighter on the head due to the shape of the crown . The look is slightly sleeker than the Condor and more like a regular hat- “friends” give me a little ribbing on the shape of my Condor hats which sit a little wider on the top of the head. But the Shelta hats always stay on in any wind, keep the sun off my neck and ears, last a long time, clean easily and hold their shape. A+++
  • The hat is perfect.
  • I purchased the Condor and put it to the test! Went on a Whale watching boat off Bar Harbor Maine and while several people lost the hats mine stayed put and the brim stayed firm. Great product! I will purchase a new one soon!
  • Well pleased with the Condor great protection.
  • ing around; no better headgear and I have made finding it a mission!
  • Had my Patrol Navy Seahawks for a trip up Maine coastline, a lot of wing.. performed so well I got another in Sand Dune!
  • “1, Excellent sun protection for face ears and neck.
  • 2, Feels cool in hot weather.
  • 3, Light
  • 4, Great adjustable fit.
  • 5, The exterior clip loops really hold my sunglasses securely regardless the level of activity.
  • 6, Firm no flop bill is excellent for attaching fold down magnifying goggles for tying small flies to tippet while Fly Fishing.
  • 7, Finally, I play a lot of Pickleball for exercise, 4 to 5 days per week. It is the most comfortable hat I have ever tried in hot, windy, sunny and/or humid conditions.”
  • I am a big fan of Shelta’s products. I have two hats, an Assault hooded L/S, multiple shirts both L/S and S/S and a face/neck gaiter. I recently bought two more hats, one for each of my boys who were constantly taking mine for themselves. It is nice knowing I’m protected from the sun while out at the lake or while on outdoor vacation excursions. Thank you Shelta for sun protection products which I look forward to and want to wearing.
  • Great hat while playing golf or fishing.
  • This is my second hat from Shelta. The quality and comfort exceed my expectations again!! It offers great sun protection, yet the hat breathes well and very light on your head. Very easy to maintain and recommend this to anyone looking for sun protection while enjoying the outdoors.
  • I use it for sailing. The stiff brim is great in a stiff breeze. Fits very well, comfortable, and adjustable. I bought the Thunderbird Limited and the bought the Condor V2 as a spare/alternate. Spendy but worth it.
  • I love everything about this hat, but the fit on my size large is a little bit tight. I owned a previous version of the same hat which came in a M/L and fit a little loose. I wish I could relax the fit of this one ever so slightly.
  • I bought this hat for Disney trips as my neck and ears were burning up from the sun all day. I was only slightly concerned about the high price, but I have a bunch of pricey Melin hats so pricing isn’t a concern for something that should hold up for a long time. It fits great and is very comfortable. The best part is the no flop brim as it doesn’t get in your face and doesn’t require constant adjustments. The crown part is very thin material which breathes well. The hat looks and feels well-made. I also do appreciate the slightly narrower brim than normal sun hats as it makes taking off bags a bit easier.
  • This is my third Shelta. I really like the easy adjustable drawstring in the band for windy conditions and the brim really does work. It keeps its shape and doesn’t flip down over your eyes. Quality is better than any other like it. I highly recommend getting one. You’ll be glad you did!
  • Light weight, just the right size. Doesn’t get in the way. You hardly know its there. You have to keep the chin strap on but you can tuck that to the back. I have a hat just for being in the yard and it works great.
  • Love the hats, unfortunately I am one of those between sizes and the large feels a little loose, but the medium I just purchased is too tight. Definitely follow sizing instructions and size up. I wish I could find one that is just right, but I still 100% recommend!
  • Fits great under all my Shelta hats and gives that perfect amount of warmth without the bulk and overheating.
  • Absolutely love this hat. Purchased it for a 3-day backpacking trip in the mountains of North Idaho. Fits perfectly, stayed on well even in windy conditions, and kept sweat out of my face. Would definitely recommend
  • I really like the hat but the price is a little crazy.
  • “I love this hat. I am not a hat person. In the rare event I wear a hat, it is a baseball cap. Now that I’m 50 and more concerned about sun exposure and don’t want to put toxic sunscreen on my face I was looking for a wide brim hat that didn’t look dorky to protect my head/ears/neck. THIS IS IT! The formed front brim makes this hat. Thank-you to Kayak Cliff who recommended it on his you tube channel.
  • The formed front brim keeps it from flopping in your face. The fit is perfect. Snug, but not tight to where it gets annoying. Chin strap/lanyard tucks back perfectly when you don’t need it in non-windy conditions. 10 our of 10″
  • “My first Shelta is the Osprey but decided I needed more sun coverage as I approach 70 I need the extra protection. Details and build quality are excellent. Yes they are pricey but very functional. Although I have not spent much time wearing the Condor but heading to Maui for a couple weeks and will be using it daily and on and off the water.
  • Yes I believe the hats are worth the price.”
  • Purchased the shirt to wear in the Keys. It definitely did its job well. The material actually kept me cool in 90 degree weather.
  • Wore it fly fishing in river with sporadic wind gusts; good quality, fit, and very functional.
  • I bought my first Shelta in 2018 and loved everything about it. It was time to retire the hat in 2025 and I didn’t think they could improve on the design but they did! This hat is amazing, do yourself a favor and get one.
  • This hat comes with all the features you need in a hat. Well made and fits well. The condor model is wonderful for hiking because of the extra visibility it gives you. Can’t go wrong with this hat.
  • These are great hats. The stiff brim keeps them from blowing off and blocking your face in a breeze. I’m on my second Shelta and couldn’t be more pleased. I highly recommend.
  • I have a lot of sunhats and most of them have a problem with the brim drooping in front of my face. This one does not. I am looking forward to giving it a real workout during an upcoming trip to North Africa.
  • Everything that it was said to be and functions as designed.
  • 25-Stars from a FAT HEAD / FAT BOY dude who finally found a hat that fits, is comfortable, is huge and stays put! THANKS!!!
  • love it
  • Functions as designed!
  • This is my 3rd ha from Shelta and they are amazing. Love the extended sizes and colors they offer. I am a lifetime customer!!!
  • I was so tired of every wide brim hat sagging, Shelta has cracked the code. I was also looking for a hat with built in pocket, voilà, right in front of my eyes, the stash pocket!
  • Love wearing this hat on the water. Especially love everyone on the boat reaching for their head to hold their hat in the wind, but not me. Stays in place!
  • I forgot my first Shelta hat when I returned to our sailboat in Tahiti and missed it so much that I had friends bring me another when they visited. What a great hat for all weather functionality!! Wind, rain, and sun this hat does it all. Thanks Shelta. We will pass along to all our sailing buddies.
  • He wears it everyday and it does show its wear after a while. I replace it for him on his birthday every 3 years!
  • I needed a smart high-quality hat to wear on-farm when working with clients. Our environment here in sunny Nelson (New Zealand) means high skin-damage from UV rays. This hat is an absolute cracker. I’ve got an older Condor in Atlas Camo that I use when out fishing on the boat or hunting in the high country. It gets a real thrashing and will last for many years yet. One hat for going out – one for going hard out!!
  • Good coverage of ears and neck, but with a low profile that is not floppy.
  • Excellent quality and lives up to its promise regarding the brim not defecting in wind.
  • It’s great! It seems to be of good quality and fits well.
  • Perfect fit, quality made, proud to wear it.
  • A boat Captain recommended this hat to me. It is awesome. It fits comfortably and secure.
  • Very well made hat. I love the no flop brim. Unlike regular boonies style hats I can now drive my boat without the brim flopping down covering my eyes.
  • This is my 6th Shelta hat and my favorite style. The low crown and wide brim provides perfect protection from the sun from long days sitting on a float tube fishing. I hope you introduce more colors to the Thunderbird line
  • The Shelta Osprey V2 is the best-designed hat!
  • Love the shape of the brim on this hat. No more flopping down in my face.
  • Great hat!
  • Great company to work with awesome customer service
  • I have a large head size and your hat fits great. Haven’t worn it outside yet but as soon as the weather warms up Ill get a lot of use out of it.
  • Very nice materials and feels like it is well made. The xxl fits well circumference wise, but could’ve been a touch deeper. Overall very happy with it.
  • As a previous Shelta customer my expectations were high as are my standards. The cap is quite well made, but it is inside around the headband where the lack of attention to detail stands out. The trim work is poorly done; leaving jagged pieces of material to be removed (cut) by the customer. At this price that should not be the case. I am pleased with my Shelta hat, which I primarily wear for golfing, but it will be a while before I consider another of your caps.
  • I’m typically a XXL in shirts, so I bought this in the same size noting that it had the comfort fit (not athletic). This was pretty snug. I’m not going to return because it should be fine, just snugger than expected and I certainly wouldn’t classify it as a looser fit. Other than that it’s awesome; love the look and the material.
  • Love the hat but can’t understand the price…
  • I own a lawn business in Louisiana. We get hot humid weather for 9 months of the year. Well built hat and im using it. Just wish it had little more air getting into the top. Sweat is a big problem in la.
  • I have not been fishing since receiving hat. Look forward to using and my dr will love that I am using it.
  • Loved the fixed brim. However, as a melanoma survivor would love to see the brim be a little wider. however, this is my new number one hat!
