Abisko Sun Hat

Perfect summer hat

Very lightweight material that is perfect for hot summer days. Easily packs down. Only wish the synch would hole firmly in place during windy conditions, it likes to slide.

Too big

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Size Bought:

Large

Too big for the size hope I can change and get medium size

Runs a bit large

Size Bought:

L/XL

Weight:

158

I ordered the L/XL based on the sizing chart. I'm a 58/59 euro depending on the manufacturer. The hat I received was a bit to large, as a light wind could blow it off my head (I could fit 3 fingers between the brim). I haven't tried the smaller size due to shipping cost. So if your on the edge of the sizing chart, size down.

A review from Anthony: I'll be honest with you. Normally, I don't prize my sun hats here in Los Angeles highly enough to write my name in them. Losing another one is fate telling me it's time for a change. The cool thing about European design is its sense of proportion. My melon doesn't loom so large, and a bucket brim doesn't shade a lake like a Booney. The material is thinner than others, but maybe Fjallraven chooses to use less material to keep a few threads out of the landfill. Normally, sun hats come in terrain colors. I was absolutely thrilled to get the very last sea Navy hat in stock. I probably won't need a replacement because I'm uncapping my Sharpie to write my name on the laundry tag. I guess only Tilleys leave lines to ID the owner, but that's a scruple not worth sunburn.
