Austin Brown | Brown Straw Wide Brim Hat

This thing is huge. I got L and it's huge, somewhat significantly heavy, the wall and door edges become your enemy for the first few days, and block the 100°+ F sun like a roof. I live in a desert area surrounded by the mountains, so when it gets hot here, it can go up to 120°F. This hat, though, since it's so dense, protects me from the burning rays literally like a roof of the house. I did not feel any sun on my face or neck at all. Nor any heat staying in the hat. I have lots of hair and I sweat a lot, so if I'm wearing cheap hats my head gets humid like a summertime Japan. Not with this one, though. It let me stay cool no matter what. So I do recommend it if you are willing to have a long discussion with its size and weight. Once you guys come into an agreement, this hat will be your best friend.

I had been searching everywhere for the perfect summer hat that I could wear every day, and I finally found it with the Austin Sand from Will & Bear. After reading countless positive reviews, I decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad I did!

Living in the U.S., I wanted to make sure I was making the right choice before ordering. Not only did the hat arrive faster than expected, but the moment I tried it on, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for.

The fit is perfect, thanks to the adjustable inner band, and it offers excellent sun protection. It’s also incredibly sturdy and clearly built to last. It’s not super lightweight, which I actually love—it holds up well on windy days, and the adjustable band and chin strap keep it securely in place.

I now wear this hat every single day. I absolutely love the style, comfort, and thoughtful design. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish summer hat!

The hit is exactly as described and fits well.

Have worn at the beach a few times in windy Western Australia and it's stayed on without the toggle but good to have that just in case! My 3rd Will and Bear hat, excellent quality as always and quick shipping

Looks Great and as described, is a little heavier than I expected
