Bonne protection et respirant, mais un peu souple.

Les bords sont larges ce qui permet une bonne protection et la matière est assez respirante pour les randonnées.
Malheureusement, les bords manquent un peu de rigidité et ont tendance à s'affaisser. De plus il ne reste pas toujours très bien en place lorsqu'il y a du vent. La partie de la tête manque un peu de profondeur, même si le diamètre est large et qu'on utilise l'élastique pour sérer la tête.

Prima hoed

Ik ben blij met de iets sportievere hoed, ik heb een prachtige hoed ( wat chiquer) met brede rand ook met uv filter , die rand is 13 cm , deze sportievere hoed is ( helaas) met een smallere rand maar ook goed functioneel om mijn gezicht te beschermen , nu ik al vanaf februari dit jaar chemo zalf op mijn gezicht gebruik en ik voorlopig geen zonnebrandcrème kan gebruiken .
Ik ben erg blij met de laatste hoed, in donker blauwe kleur , vooral op de fiets en bij stevige windt voldoet de hoed prima

Complessivamente un bel cappello

Il cappello ha un bel design, il tessuto sembra resistente e di qualità, sicuramente è più strutturato e solido rispetto ad articoli di brand più economici. Spero anche che protegga bene il cuoio capelluto dai raggi uv, perché è il motivo principale per cui l’ho acquistato, ma non posso dare assicurazioni su questo. L’ho usato durante una settimana di trekking in montagna e si è rivelato molto comodo, mi sentivo abbastanza protetta. Resiste abbastanza bene a un vento moderato, ma se le raffiche sono forti, come può succedere in quota, le falde larghe fanno da vela e difficilmente resta al suo posto, ma questo è tipico di questo modello di cappelli. Ho preso la taglia s-m, ma risulta comunque largo per me, ho la testa insolitamente piccola, tuttavia stringendo il cordino riesco ad adattarlo. Il cordino però è molto rigido e quando mi muovo sbatte sulla tesa del capello e fa rumore (del tutto sopportabile, niente di grave, ma forse si può migliorare). Infine, la fascia interna per il sudore è molto utile, ma fa molte e pieghe e ho notato che lascia il segno sulla pelle se tengo il capello per qualche ora. Anche in questo caso niente di grave e probabilmente succede perché devo stringerlo molto sulla testa per non farlo volare via quando c’è vento. Complessivamente è un bel cappello, ha una struttura solida e un bel design, è adatto anche alle passeggiate in città ed è molto fresco. Lo consiglio e io stessa penso che acquisterò un altro modello per le occasioni speciali

Perfecte zonnehoed voor groot hoofd XXL 65 cm

Met een grote hoofdomtrek van 65cm is het moeilijk om een zonnehoed te vinden. Eindelijk heb ik met deze Kerson XXL er eentje gevonden die niet alleen past en mooi en comfortabel is, ook opplooi- en wasbaar is. Duidelijke website nam de twijfel weg. Bruno P uit Vlaams-Brabant.

Der Hut ist sehr angenehm zu tragen und passt sehr gut. Durch verstellbares Band passt er sich sehr gut meiner Kopfform an uns sitzt auch bei starkem Wind fest. Ob er den beworbenen UV Standard 50+ tatsächlich erfüllt kann ich natürlich nicht beurteilen und kann nur hoffen er stimmt.

Sorry,maar d.ie hoed heeft echt geen model.

Hallo,

Bedankt voor uw feedback.

Deze hoed is gemaakt van een zeer soepele en flexibele stof. Daardoor is hij gemakkelijk op te vouwen en mee te nemen in een tas of koffer.

Natuurlijk begrijpen we dat smaak persoonlijk is en dat niet ieder model iedereen aanspreekt.

Bij Ker Sun bieden we gratis retouren aan. Mocht de hoed toch niet aan uw verwachtingen voldoen, dan kunt u hier uiteraard gebruik van maken.

Met vriendelijke groet,
Team Ker Sun
