NEW-ViFishing Umbrella Hat Folding Adjustable Sun Rain Cap, 37.4”Oversize Hands Free Umbrellas, 7-Ribs Anti-UV Waterproof Headwear for Fishing Gardening Golf Sunshade Outdoor

This protects me when I'm mowing the lawn. It is easy to open and put on. Folds up real easy.

Reviewed by spouse (but husband note - this thing looks absolutely ridiculous but works amazingly well):OK, this was a crazy purchase, but I think it’s actually going to work quite well. I have had two bouts with skin cancer, but still want to be able to enjoy going to the lake or the ocean, and need more protection than a regular hat can provide. A lot of times the hats get wet and they don’t hold their form so they don’t provide a lot of protection. Even though this looks a little strange to be wearing out and about in the water, I think it’ll serve a really good purpose. It was pretty easy to open. It’s sort of like an umbrella and you just have to make sure that that little white/clear piece from the inside goes all the way through the top small opening of the “umbrella like covering” and it’ll lock in place. To get it to “deflate”, you just press the little clear/white button on the top of the umbrella and it’ll go back down through the hole and will deflate per see. It can get wet with the waves and hold it form and provide significant sun protection. The only thing I think they can improve upon would be making the hat portion inside adjustable as it’s a bit too big for me.

I really wanted to love this product and I did! However, I did have to return it because of two major reasons for me. First, it was difficult for me to open since my hands ache a lot. But once opened it was great and covered my entire head. I could use my hands to do other things instead of holding the umbrella. It was nice to be able to carry my dog downstairs in the rain without having to get wet. With that being said, the 2nd reason that lead me to return it was that the umbrella was too big and cumbersome in a way that didn't allow me to bump into things and get caught. It works extremely well in open spaces. But for the reasons I needed it for, the space wouldn't allow me to walk freely. Rather than getting frustrated with it I had to return it. However, that doesn't mean that I didn't think it was a great invention and product. They used very good and sturdy materials.

Good idea. Recieved broken. Ribs were broke. Generally needs away to keep the wind blowing off your head. Uncomfortable where umbrella support meets head band. Had a many loved it

I've looked at a lot of umbrella hats over the past few years, but never bought one because the umbrella was always so small that I figured a sun hat and some spray silicone would work just as well and look a lot less stupid.This one is so big, and so inexpensive that I had to try it - AND I LOVE IT. It's wide enough to keep me completely dry while walking my dogs in the rain, and even without the chin strap cinched up, it stays in place while I bend over to pickup their messes.It's weirdly comfortable, doesn't blow off my head in a 5 mph wind, and doesn't look different from a regular umbrella from a distance, or the side, or even the front unless it's tilted enough for someone to see the head gear. Maybe I'm just getting older, but I'm not embarrassed to wear it. I will wear it all seasons to keep the rain and sun off me.One day someone will probably invent a more attractive head gear for these things, and I'll probably upgrade, and I wouldn't mind if it were just a few inches wider to keep me dryer in sideways rain, and maybe slightly deeper to hide the ugly head gear, but just as it is, it's an awesome umbrella, and a good investment of $10.

It's awesome!!!

This is a very dangerous device if your goal is to use it as a handsfree umbrella for E-scooter or bicycle use.On a day of slight rain, and very little to no wind at all i decided to give it a try. At first it seemed lovely and extremely useful. Exactly what i needed until a slight wind blew as a car drove by. The umbrella caught the wind and nearly yanked me from the scooter into traffic, then now loosened by that experience its loose head wrapping fell. Blocking my vision and forcing me to come to a complete stop and remove it completely or suffer the danger every single time a car was anywhere near me ever.It was cheap, but clearly cheap for a reason. This will kill you. Do not buy unless your plan is to use it while standing still no where near wind.

Ok so this thing is one of the goofiest things I have bought, HOWEVER it works really well and provided there isn't a strong breeze stays put and is comfortable to wear. Awesome for some gardening in the blazing sun or rain. Idk if I am bold enough to walk the dog in it but it would be great for that too!!
