    Default Sunhat for mom?

    I've got a wallaroo hat and some random ones (that you can sorta see the sun through!) Are there others that are really practical and nicer than our Columbia ones with the chin strap? I wear a lot of breezy dresses in the heat but also would like my face to have better coverage.

    I have this one, and have been very happy with it! Works with cute sundresses as well as at the beach or pool.

    I have this one from Costco (paid about half the price of Amazon) and really like it:

    I tried this one but my hair gets caught it all the time. I have thick curly hair.

    I have this one too and also got mine from Costco. I saw them there as recently as this month too. I think I paid about $13 for it, which is a fantastic deal. This hat is well made and wonderful. The only issue for me is that I have a big head, and it is too tight on me. DD1 will wear it, since I apparently have a giant head!

    I bought one similar to this Tommy Bahama one last summer. The only annoying thing was that the brim on mine had a flexible piping edge to it (so you could shape it to suit your needs, which is, hypothetically, a great feature) and it was not sewn in place or reinforced properly, so it popped out.
