   Must Have

When this hat finally wears out, I will buy another - and another - and another. It is a beast. I get loads of compliments and it does what it does like no other. It keeps me in the shade. Sunbody - please, please never stop making this hat.

   El Humongo is my head's best friend

The El Humongo – 8 Inch Brim Gus Hat has become my go-to hat for life in the Texas sun. The massive brim keeps the sun off my face and neck for hours at a time, whether I’m out on the water or mowing the lawn back home. What surprised me most is how comfortable it is despite the size — it fits my head perfectly, has excellent airflow, and never feels overly hot. In Texas, good sun protection means more time outdoors doing the things you love, and this hat lets me stay outside longer while staying comfortable.
