We stand by the top pick in our guide to the best sun hats for hiking, the Sunday Afternoons Ultra Adventure Hat. It’s comfortable and airy, with a big brim, a neck covering, and a UPF 50+ rating, all of which is to say that it offers exceptional sun protection. But as Kyle writes in our guide, “it won’t win you many style points.” So few, in fact, that some of our testers felt too self-conscious to wear it.

For some people, getting sun protection trumps looking slightly silly any day of the week. For others, style may be a factor when choosing an ideal hat. After all, the only hat that provides any sun protection is the one you’ll actually wear, and almost any hat will provide more sun protection than no hat at all. (So if a baseball cap is all you have right now, use it!)

You may get some style points with another pick in our sun hat guide, especially since the ’90s-favorite bucket hat has made a bit of a comeback. Although the brim of the Solbari Bondi Bucket Hat is less than the optimal 3 inches, it still fully wraps around the hat, and the fabric has a UPF 50+ rating. Plus, it packs well, rolling easily without creasing too much, so you’re more likely to take it along on a trip or throw it in your bag.

If you’re willing to shell out the extra bucks, the Tilley LTM6 Airflo Sun Hat has a wide brim, a high UPF rating, and a lifetime guarantee. It also has a low-key Indiana Jones look (it’s a fedora) that some people love. Plus, you can pack it flat.

This former pick we still like is made with UPF 50 fabric and has a distinctive fedora shape that some testers found appealing. It comes with a lifetime guarantee that even covers normal wear and tear. However, it’s a lot more expensive than our picks.

We also like the Sunday Afternoons Siena Hat, which we highlight in our guide to sun-protective clothing. It has a wide — but not too floppy — brim that gives off beachy, vacay vibes. It also has UPF 50+ sun protection, an adjustable interior sweatband, and an adjustable chin strap for breezy days (which you can always tuck behind your head if you don’t like the look). It’s not designed for smushing, however.

If you’re seeking poolside shade rather than performance on the trail, this is a flattering choice. Its UPF 50+ polyester is light and breathable, and the brim is stiff enough to stay out of your eyes. You can easily finesse its fit using a Velcro tab in the sweatband, and an adjustable chin strap will keep it in place if the wind picks up. However, it’s not that packable.

If you’re looking for something more packable and less statement-making but still cute, Wirecutter writer Sarah Gannett, who wrote our guide to sun-protective clothing, personally likes the Sunday Afternoons Sol Seeker Hat, which has chill straw-hat vibes and comes in a variety of colors. It also has a UPF 50+ rating, a 3.5-inch brim, and an adjustable internal sweatband. Plus, it can take a bit of bending, so it’s easier to pack than other straw hats. One major flaw, especially for the beach: It lacks a neck strap, so you may have to deal with a runaway hat.
