Sun Hat with Fold-Away Neck Drape & Clip-On Face Drape - UPF50+ Stevie

In this review of the Stevie sun hat, the bottom line is straightforward: it is a practical, high-coverage sun hat built for long days outdoors where protection matters most. Designed to block sun reliably, the hat combines a tuck-away neck drape and a removable face drape with UPF 50+ fabric so wearers get broad, dependable coverage. The reviewer found it especially useful for boating, fishing, and extended outdoor work because the fabric is lightweight and packable while the attachments keep wind and sun off the face and neck.

Key Features

• UPF 50+ Sun Protection: The fabric blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays, giving high-level coverage for long exposures to the sun.
• Removable Face Drape: The attachable ventilated face drape clips on and includes a shapeable nose wire for a more secure, customizable shield from sun and spray.
• Fold-Away Neck Drape: The tuck-away back drape stores neatly when not needed and deploys quickly for added neck coverage on bright days.
• Lite Fabric: The ultra-soft, cotton-like fabric is breathable, quick-dry, crushable and travel friendly for multi-day outdoor use.
• Secure Fit Features: Mesh back panel, clip-on reflective chin strap and adjustable elastic cord help keep the hat on in wind and activity.
• Cooling Finish: The fold-away drape includes a cooling Xylitol finish to help with comfort during sustained sun exposure.

Who It's For

The Stevie is best suited to anglers, boaters, hikers and outdoor workers who need full face, head and neck coverage for extended periods. Its UPF 50+ fabric and dual drape system make it a strong choice when sun protection is the primary goal and a travel-friendly, crushable hat is desirable.

Those who prefer a loose, adjustable brim fit or need a variety of fitted sizes may want to try a different style, since some customers report mixed opinions about circumference and overall fit despite many praising comfort and functionality.
