LTM6 Airflo Sun Hat

This is the first 'real' hat I have owned rather than few cheap straw hats and dozens of ball caps. This is the real deal, a Tilley Endurables product that is guaranteed for life and will wear well during that hopefully long time. I had first ordered a model T4MO and it arrived in a box only three inches in height and had smashed the top of the hat down. The box was not only too short to start off with, but it had a two inch thick air-filled plastic 'pillow' inside pushing the space down to one inch. After I began working with the hat to see if I could get the top to stand up or any part of the hat to stand up and take some kind of shape, nothing done would help the hat hold any changes made. I ordered this T4MO thinking that cotton would be a better material than the 'nylon-like' Nylamtium material that is used in several of the other Tilley products. The Nylamtium fooled me, it does not look like a synthetic material at all. My mistake, the T4MO hat made of cotton will just fall down, droop, and not hold much shape at all. This I shipped back with no problems at all by Amazon, which is how all my Amazon orders have been so far.I soon received my new LTM6 Tilley Hat and it is identical in appearance to the other hat I had returned, except it stands up by itself and holds some of the adjustments you can make with the brim, back, and sides. This hat is the only one I have ever seen that I actually liked as much as I did to buy it for myself. Going through Amazon saved me a sizeable chunk of change that came to about one-third off and both hats were delivered on the date that had been given at the time I placed the order. If you want a hat that will last you a lifetime, Tilley Endurables will replace it free if it is worn out. They also have a warranty on the loss or destruction of your Tilley Hat, , so if you forget it somewhere when out and about or your dog eats the hat, just have your receipt and Tilley will replace your lost or destroyed hat for ½ price of a new hat for up to two years. This insurance policy and warranty are very good, and you even get an Owner's Manual with your Tilley. Their web site reads like something geared to sell to yuppie-types and that buying their hat will be a life changing event. It tells you everything you ever needed to know about your Tilley Hat including how to put it on your head #!# and hat tips and info from the Tilley Endurables web site. Search Google for 'tilley hat' and the results will likely also give the site for a 'Tilly' site without the 'e' in their name, close but no cigar. I really enjoying owning and wearing a useful and damn good looking hat even having a full head of hair still on my noggin.Tilley tells you over and over not to buy a hat that is too small. They tell you how to measure your head an give a conversion chart to use in choosing your hat size. The ideal way is to be able to try them on as Tilley recommends that you should be able to put two fingers between your forehead and hat. Mine is not that loose, but feels right and is not too loose to blow away readily, and not too small to be tight. It was no problem at all swapping out the hats as Amazon took care of everything with zero hassle, gotta love how they do business.If you want to step up from ball caps or wear something different for a change, the Tilley Hats are great and I would readily and strongly checking out Amazon's large selection of these very cool hats. I have become a hat wearer for life. 5/5 Stars!

I’ve worn a LOT of bucket hats, caps, gardening hats, you name it. This Tilley hat is remarkable! Lightweight - but keeps its shape. Other hats have floppy brims that became annoying and distracting. The Tilley Airflow has a nice structure to it. Keeps the sun off my head and neck. Nice airflow design on top if the hat to keep my head cooler. Great hat!

I purchased this hat for a week long Walt Disney World vacation in June, hoping to keep the sun off my follicle challenged head. I have had a Tilley T3 made of cotton for 10 years, but the cotton would have been too hot in the Florida sun. Plus it was an excuse to buy another Tilley hat.The airflow mesh worked as expected, keeping the hat relatively cool. The mesh is woven in multiple layers, so air can get through, but very little sunlight could sneak through to hit your head. But I applied sunscreen at the start of each day just to be on the safe side. The mesh is firm enough that it doesn't affect the integrity of the crown of the hat.Being out in the Florida sun for hours caused my head to sweat, and eventually the sweat would bleed through the sweatband and be visible from the outside. Without cleaning, the sweatmarks would be visible even after drying. But with a quick rinse in the shower of the hotel room at night, the hat would be clean and dry in time for an early morning departure.The nylon material is very lightweight, cool and comfortable to wear. But being a lighter material, the brim is not stiff. Now I didn't observe the brim bouncing around as I walked, but I suspect if I was galloping on a camel or driving a jeep with no windscreen, the brim may have blown down or up.I packed the hat flat in my carry on, and upon arrival pulled it out and pushed out the crown. Ready to wear, no issues. I chose the olive color hoping to make it less likely for stains from dirty hands to show on the hat. I don't think going with the slightly darker color made the hat any warmer in the sun.The hat may seem expensive but in this case you get what you pay for. Check out the Tilley website for fitting instructions to make sure you order the right size. It is a very comfortable hat when sized properly. Also check out their excellent warrantee and replacement programs.All in all a great hat. I am sure I will still be wearing it 10 years from now.

This is a great hat - my husband loves it. The venting at the top makes it very comfortable in summer months and the brim creates nice coverage in the sun.

Love it! Second one I’ve owned. First one was still going strong after 11 years but I left it in a rental car. Expect to get another 11+ out of this one.

I went to the manufacturer site to figure out what size to order and received a hat that fit just like I wanted. The material is soft, breathable and comfortable enough to wear all day.In the month or so since it arrived, I have only worn it around the house, the yard and in the woods out back but I like it very much. This was purchased for a trip we are taking several months from now but I feel like I have broken it in enough to be confident it will meet my needs for years to come. I will try to remember to update this review after my trip.For me, this will be a shield from excessive sun once we enter Summer with the added benefit that I like how it looks on me and so does my wife.I tend to sweat a lot when it is hot outside and do not mind if this gets a bit of a “worn and weathered” look to it — I prefer it, actually. The material feels washable and I saw video of a guy cleaning his with dishwashing liquid so, with a little periodic maintenance I expect to just keep on rolling along.Hopefully, this review was helpful to you.

Second Tilley hat! Fits as described. Had my 1st one for 5 years. Washes well. Still looks new but ready for a new color.

I've always wanted a Tilley hat but couldn't justify the cost. Well I managed to find a great sale price, so I decided now is the time.I agonised over sizing before ordering. My head measures 57 cm which puts me at a 7 1/8" size but that would've be a great mistake. I added 2 cm to my measurement and bought the 7 3/8" size and it's just right. The hat should fit loose enough to easily slip onto your head but not so loose it would fall off if you bend over.I also "tested" two colours. I bought the Olive and the rockface. The olive is a dark colour and when I put both in the direct sun in 90F weather for a few minutes the olive hat measured about 10F hotter than the light coloured Stone Face both on the top of the hat and underneath it. Even after 10 minutes the rockface coloured hat remained ~10F cooler than the olive. Since this is a sun hat I decided to go with the lighter colour, though I really like the olive.I've tested the hat out in direct sun and the brim is wide enough to mostly shield the face and neck. I'd still recommend some sunscreen or using a cape on the back of the neck, especially if you're fishing and looking downward a lot. I didn't feel like I was any warmer than using a ballcap and was even cooler than no hat at all because it blocks/reflects a lot of the sun from reaching my head.Alas, I still sweat heavily wearing it and the built-in headband wets out fast. I can fit a thin additional sweatband under the hat, but not a thicker cotton sweatband. I'm still wondering if I should've gone up to a 7 1/2" to accommodate a thicker sweatband.Either way, a great hat and even better if you can get it on a good sale. They might not carry quite the same quality that they used to, but they're still a high quality item worth buying.

I have worn this hat for many years. Great for golf & hiking.However, your packing is bad. They twisted the brim of the hat so it was very difficult to remove the crosses. Please DON'T pack them that way. Always just flatten them on packing & shipping.

I like everything about this hat. The color is exactly as shown in the ad. The size is perfect for me. The price and color were both better than anything offered locally where I live. The delivery time was amazing. Good job Amazon!!! Thank you for all that you do.

Tilley Airflow LTM6: Perfect finish, comfortable fit and it looks GREAT TOO!The design is thoroughly thought through in EVERY detail. Materials, finish, stitching and the craftsmanship is flawless.I own several other hats (mostly Stetsons, Fjällräven etc.) that I also like but the Tilley is my absolute favorite!Packaging was good, delivery was prompt and left no room for complaints.I can recommend this product!

Calidad indiscutible

I have the LTM5, bought this for my wife. My wife is using ultra-adventure hat as well, both are good choice for hiking under hot climate, the key difference is Tilley LTM6 more nice looking but need a bit more space while Ultra-adventure is so light foldable to fit into side pocket. Both meet expectation. For oversea trip, LTM6 maybe better choice for the classic appearance. My wife happy to have both.
