Our Verdict
Buff's Booney Hat has quite an old school look to it but the fabric is instantly soft and comfortable. It provides a rating of UPF 50+ for sun protection and a wide brim for keeping you shaded so it is practical as well as uniquely stylish.The most impressive part of the design is the hats ability to wick moisture and therefore help regulate your temperature, which is does brilliantly in hot conditions.
The crushable design is great as the hat still manages to retain its shape afterwards so this is great for travelers who will be stowing the hat away regularly. This hat comes in a range of styles so there should be something for everyone, from subtle colours to bold designs.
