The Wide Brim Panama features a generous 5" brim for major sun protection that shades face, ears, neck, and shoulders. The tight UPF50+ Cuenca weave is sturdy and blocks sun, and the diagonal open weave band provides cooling ventilation. A leather lace chin cord helps to adjust size and allows the hat to be worn at back of neck leaving hands free.

I have worn 2 of these hats out (~5 years each) with 6-8 hours/days, "8 days a week" of gardening during the summer in my Northern Michigan garden. Recently an acquaintance commented on my "beautiful" 74-yr-old complexion, which I credit to sunscreen and this great hat.
I have been using the wide brimmed Panama hat from San Francisco Hat company for close to 20 years. I love it because it comes in sizes that fit! plus the “stampede string” is perfect for windy weather. I have no doubt my skin has benefited greatly from wearing this awesome hat. Thank you SFH Co!!!
