Love the shape of the brim on this hat. No more flopping down in my face.
The Shelta Osprey V2 is the best-designed hat!
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
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.
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.
My new favorite ! Soft and the perfect weight for California day or night - loving it !
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.
A boat Captain recommended this hat to me. It is awesome. It fits comfortably and secure.
I've tried a few other face gaiters and just couldn't wear them - either they're too tight or my nose is too big. This one seems to have the best fit yet. Haven't worn it for an extended period yet, but it's headed for the Sea of Cortez for the next six months.
It's great! It seems to be of good quality and fits well.
Excellent quality and lives up to its promise regarding the brim not defecting in wind.
Good coverage of ears and neck, but with a low profile that is not floppy.
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!!
I bought this for a Firebird 2. The attachment system for that hat doesn't work for me. I doubt I'll ever use this. I was operating with the thought that all the hats would allow for all three attachment methods. This wasn't the case.
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 play a lot of golf and bought a second shelta hat for this purpose. It’s a great wind hat. My other one was great in the rain. Only slight issue is that the firm bill presses a little hard on my forehead, and it’s the proper size. Not a big deal and due to the hat’s structure, probably is something that we have to live with. Like the hat a lot, and love it in windy conditions.
I wanted one after I saw someone wearing it on video.
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.
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 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!
This is my 3rd ha from Shelta and they are amazing. Love the extended sizes and colors they offer. I am a lifetime customer!!!
