Looking for a large wide-brimmed hat that can be packed...

I'm looking for a large wide-brimmed hat for vacation. Since we'll be flying, I want something that can be "packed" into a suitcase and still "spring back into shape" when we unpack.

I've heard great things about San Diego Hat Company, but at $50 a hat, are they worth it? Can they be smushed into a suitcase and "come back to life" without being misshapen?

  • Check tjmaxx and macys. Ive seen cute crushable sun hats at both. I bought my mil one at tjmaxx.

  • I was coming into here to rec San Diego Hats!  They are amazing!!

    I have this one and it's amazing.  Very easily foldable and just pops back into shape, no wrinkles, and it's SPF 50.  It's flattering on my head and I got so many compliments on it last year.  I have the tan one and am planning on buying another colored one this summer.  When you pull it out of your suitcase it will look brand new still.

  • I got a wide brimmed hat years ago at Macy's and you can fold it up without affecting the hat.  I don't use it because if there's a breeze, it kept flying off my head.  So I wear a baseball cap that I can adjust in the back and I can pull my ponytail through.  The cap stays put.
  • I like the packable wide-brim hats from Coolibar. 
  • I saw a wide brim hat that could be folded and was uvf50 at Tuesday Morning. They were $9.99 and if you happen to have one in your town it could be worth seeing if they have them. I was surprised how cute they were and inexpensive.
  • san diego hat company is totally worth it.  another good company to check into is goorin brothers.  they're a much smaller company; but the quality of their hats is unparalelled.

    i have this one, and you can adjust the brim however you like.  i get tons of compliments on it, and wear it to the beach constantly.  it's been in and out of suitcases, and springs right back to life.
