Going on a vacation to Central America and wanted a decent sun shade hat for the beach/hiking. It is a visor with a fabric cape at the back, but thats to be expected from the pictures, so I don't understand this complaints as the brim clearly does not go around the whole head.
I have a smaller head so the cap was a bit large, but thats to be expected for me. Fortunately, the ties at the back allow you to tighten is a bit. While it may not protect my shoulders much, it will definitely help shade my face, neck all around, and most of my chest, so overall Im happy with product and cant wait to go out with it.
