Tilley Hikers Hat

I spend a lot of time hiking, backpacking and other outdoor activities. The Tilley Hikers Hat fits great and is very comfortable to wear. All of the hats I have purchased in the past, the brim always needs to be forced into the shape I want. The Tilley hat seems to be naturally formed the way I like my hats to be. The hat is well made and the guarantee gives me confidence that I will be happy with my hat for years to come.I took my new hat out of the box right at the post office and immediately put it on.

Great hat, very comfortable and keeps your head cool in warm days, very well made, solid construction, my go to hat when out hiking...

Tilley hats are know for their quality and rugged use. Unfortunately i put my hat for wash in the washing machine ( as to the wash instructions with mild detergent ) and the hat has shrunk and the rims look crumpled . I didnt expect this for a Tilley hat . Money wasted . The visuals say it all. I hope the guys at Tilley are reading this and send me an immediate replacement.

This hat replaced a 25 year old Ultimate brand hat that I just loved. It was made from heavy cotton duck and stayed on the head in most conditions without use of the chin straps (including in a convertible at 30 mph, but on the highway, I would use the straps). The Tilley hat is much lighter material and I suspect will blow off my head unless I use the straps. I also expect the brim to be too flexible for sailing in any good breeze. Unfortunately, Ultimate stopped making hats and the only Tilley made from heavy cotton has narrow brims and wider are better for sun protection.Updating the review - the brim of this hat is way too floppy for me - I spend my day of sailing feeling like a goofball with the brim tipped up at the wind - and the hat is way too light weight. Tilley's website says a T4 Hiker hat has a lifetime guarantee. Amazon's site also says this hat is guaranteed. I did not realize when I bought this hat that you need to register your hat with Tilley to get the guarantee (and then to make a claim in the future). If the hat does not have documentation explaining how to register your hat, it is probably not guaranteed (and I wonder if it is even a Tilley).

This is my third Tilly. I retired my first one, then recently lost the second. The first two were made in Canada. This one is Chinese. It seems as well-made as the Canadian models. This one has a broader brim and you're able to soak it in water and freeze it for extra cooling. So far it's worked great, but it's only been in the low eighties around here. So we'll have to see how it does this summer. Tilly's are expensive, but worth every penny. It even protects from impacts pretty well. Once in a while I'll run into something at work, and I'm always glad I had it on.

It is very comfortable to wear and offers good sun protection. Got it for a phenomenal price.

It looks good, and feels comfortable.

I love this Tilley hat. It fits perfectly and wears comfortably.
