FAQs About the DPC Global Soaker Hat up to XXL

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

Does it work in rain?

At least one customer mentions using it successfully in the rain twice already and was pleased with its performance, though the product is primarily designed as a sun hat with evaporative cooling rather than as rain gear.

Yes, for light rain. The hat's special fabric gradually absorbs water, but prolonged or heavy rain will saturate the fabric. The hat is not waterproof, but because it is designed to be soaked and worn wet for evaporative cooling, getting caught in the rain won’t hurt it.

Does this cooling hat really works?

Yes. The DPC Global Soaker Hat uses evaporative cooling to help you feel cooler in hot weather. Simply soak the hat in water, gently remove the excess, and put it on. As the water evaporates from the microfiber fabric, it draws away heat and creates a cooling effect. The mesh crown also allows airflow for additional ventilation.

The cooling effect works best in hot, dry conditions and will gradually decrease as the hat dries. When that happens, simply wet it again to reactivate the cooling effect. As an added benefit, the hat provides UPF 50+ sun protection, making it a practical choice for gardening, hiking, outdoor work, travel, and other hot-weather activities.

Many reviewers report feeling a noticeable cooling effect when the hat is wet, with several noting it felt great in intense heat—one customer mentioned it worked well in Florida summer heat and 90+ degree temperatures on the golf course. The evaporative cooling technology, activated by wetting the microfiber brim and crown, delivers the cooling relief described in the product.

We don’t often single out one hat for a personal endorsement, but this one is an exception. Everyone at SetarTrading owns one, and we regularly wear ours when spending time outdoors in hot weather.

Is it comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. Many customers report wearing it daily without discomfort, and reviewers praise its comfort, noting it does not squeeze the head or leave marks on the forehead. The mesh crown sidewalls and elastic comfort band contribute to its breathability and ease of wear during extended outdoor work and activities.

Is the hat lightweight?

Yes. One reviewer specifically notes it is not heavy like some other wide-brim hats, making it comfortable for extended use in the sun.

Good for larger head sizes?

Yes. Multiple customers with large heads report finally finding a hat that fits well, and several purchased the XXL size specifically because of availability in larger sizes. The XXL option addresses a need that is difficult to find in other hat styles.

Does it look good while wearing?

Reviewers consistently comment on the hat's appearance, with several noting it looks great, is stylish, and well-made. One reviewer mentioned that family members with a fashion sense also loved the look, and it pairs well with outdoor activities like golfing.

Will the hat work without soaking it?

Yes. One reviewer notes the hat is super comfortable and great whether or not you soak it, though soaking it activates the evaporative cooling feature for additional relief on hot days.

Does it provide adequate sun protection?

Yes. Reviewers praise the wider 2.75" brim and mesh crown for keeping the sun off the face and ears during outdoor activities, and the product features UPF 50+ protection as stated in the description.

Natural / 2 XL

That is an excellent product, very good quality and a perfect fit. It came as described in a timely manner I would highly recommend this seller to everyone

Hi John, thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you're happy with the hat and our service. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to serve you again soon!

Brown / Small (55 cm)

Great Hat !

Thank you, Tom, for your support and positive review.

Charcoal / Medium (57 cm)

Great product with fast shipping
Thank you!

Hi Hagen, thanks so much for your kind words! We're glad you love the hat and appreciated the quick delivery. Enjoy wearing it!

Great

This the second one I have had ,the first one lasted 8 years

Paid extra for fast delivery

I paid double the price for fast delivery and it wasn’t delivered on the promised date. I sent an email about this to the company and never heard back.

Beach hats

Ordered for a group of 6, perfect for the beach and beyond!

Totally worthless visor

This is the most ill-fitting, uncomfortable visor. No padding, a strange shape at the forehead. I have a petite head and want a visor with a shorter bill, but this one is not it.

Excellent sun hat!

The sunhat is exactly what I was looking for but had trouble finding until I came across Setar Trading online. It is well made, 100% cotton so feels great, with a brim that is large enough to screen out the sun, and not as small as many bucket hats which don't offer much protection. And with a brutal heat wave going on currently, it is doing the job well. The turquoise color is a little more vibrant than I expected, but find it's lovely in its own way. Am so glad I ordered it!

Love this hat

I love this hat. Light weight, good coverage, looks great. It does not wash so don't get it wet. Linen! Wish it came in more colors;
It is one size fits all.

Nice hat

Keeps head cool and nice brim.

Perfect fit

This is a great casual fishing hat. I love the little flag patch.

Everything was fantastic!

Top quality Dorfman Hat. Size is perfect, and customer experience couldn’t have been better. Kudos to the Setar Trading Team. I will always check your site first when I need anything in your wheelhouse. Thank you.

Nice Hat

What I had bought earlier, same good 100% cotton quality, very pleased.

Hat

This is my second time purchasing this hat, my first one I had for 10 years. I love it, it's comfortable, stylish, well made. Excellent product.

Not so good

The hat looks great. But the front panel is looks wrinkled.

Very happy

This was not the hat that I bought, but I am happy with the gray one.

Liked one but not the other

The distressed flag hat fit great but the pro twill hat had a very tall crown & didn't look good.

Love this 4 inch bill

This is the best size visor! It’s so hard to find one with the 4 inch bill. Please don’t stop making these. And it’s so reasonably priced. I bought a couple and totally enjoying the coverage. The head band could be less round, but overall still a great fit.

Fit needs improvement

The visor quality and brim width is perfect. But its shape is too round. It sticks out from your head and looks goofy. Plus its temple pieces dig into your head in ONE spot. So … uncomfortable. My fix was to heat the headband over my gas stove burner to soften the headband, then shape it into an oval. Now if fits and I love it.

XL isn't quite XL(for me).

Could have been slightly larger to fit my cranium. Not enough flex when fitting to my head, so it still fits, but tight which I'm not a big fan of. Hoping I can stretch it out somehow so I don't get a tension headache.

Great hat

Love this hat. Own about eight of them. Comfortable, dry fast. Great fit

Review

The bill is a bit too large and it doesn’t fit snuggly. Not so bad that I won’t wear them though.

Beautiful USA Hats

I love these hats. They are beautiful and fit prefect. Very good quality. I buy this product regularly, and I recommend it.

Cool

Cool good quality retro style lid

Beautiful Brushed Twill Safari Hat

I purchased the Brushed Twill Safari Hat for my husband. He absolutely loves it. He always has a hard time finding one that will fit him, and that has a 3" brim. This one is perfect for him. It is so well made. He said that this is a quality hat, and he seldom gives compliments. I am so glad that we found it.

We received the hat quickly and it was well packaged. I would definitely purchase from Setar Trading again.

Expensive shipping and you pay both ways

Sadly this visor was too loose and large so had to return it. Then, I had to pay $7.00 each way to return it and the product itself was only $19. They make you pay for incoming and outgoing shipping. Not a good deal or value, especially when there’s always Amazon. Won’t order from here again.

What?

You marketed this as a Scala, which has a certain quality. I reviewed it, and it had a totally random label, and loose structure. I emails YOU, and you never even replied. You just sent me a return label…??? Where the Scala hat?

Hi Amy, I am sorry that you did not receive my previous emails. They must be landing in your spam folder. Scala is one of DPC's brands. Sometimes they offer the same style under one of their other brand. This style was first offered as a Scala hat. On reorder, we received them with DPC labels. As the SKU number and the hat remained the same, we did not notice this change and failed to update it on our site. I hope this explains it. I apologize for our error.

My Husband's Favorite Hat

This was a replacement purchase for the same hat my husband bought years ago. It's his favorite and he wears it all the time. The only reason it doesn't get five stars is that the hat is a bit too snug.

Good hat

It’s hard to find good bucket hats for men these days. Baseball-type hats have all but pushed them out. Even this one from Dorfman Pacific is short of colors, blue being sold out. Buying a hat online is difficult because of sizing, especially if actual measurements aren’t listed. This one was slightly larger than one of the same model that I already own. I washed it and it shrank and should be fine.

Hi, thank you for the review. I just wanted to let you know that we should have our next delivery by mid-October. If you sign up to get notified, we'll send you an email as soon as they are restocked.
