The Product
The TH8 Hemp Hat, $79.00
Claim to Fame
The TH8 Hemp Hat is, indeed, elegant yet hard-working. Can be worn brim up all the way or jauntily tipped to set the tone for any occasion. Add your personal panache with a scarf, vibrant hat band or eye-catching pin. The all-around wide brim offers a lifetime investment in sun protection and style.
Why Hemp? Not only do our Hemp Hats look great, but they have a soft linen-like look with a ‘tough as nails attitude’. In fact, Hemp is the world’s strongest natural fibre. It is breathable, and naturally resistant to UV light, mould, mildew and salt water. Tilley Hemp fabric has been tested and certified as having a UPF 50+; this is the maximum UV protection rating given. Like its owner, your TH8 Tilley Hat requires a little care to look lovely for life.
…To protect you from the sun and rain, Tilleys fit lower than other hats. This also tends to give one a rather dashing appearance!
For your comfort, they`re held on by gravity, not painful pressure on your forehead. On a hot muggy day, you`ll especially appreciate this!
Even though they fit gently, Tilleys won`t fly off because when there`s a breeze, you use one or both parts of the tuckaway Wind Cord.
The also float, repel water, and come with a lifetime guarantee against lost or damage.
Where to Find It
Online at www.tilley.com or at select retail locations.
Kristen’s Opinion
I was skeptical about my TH8 Hemp Hat, but man, I was wrong. Not only is it incredibly comfortable (and I have a big head, so I don’t like hats), but everything they claim is true. It kept me cool despite an oppressively hot and humid day, the tie did keep it from blowing off, it floats, and it kept my face free of sunburn (though the rest of me wasn’t so lucky). And I thought I looked pretty dashing, I have to say.
Who Will Love This Product
Anyone who’s looking for cool comfort and sun protection will adore the Tilley TH8 Hemp Hat. Because it’s guaranteed against loss or damage, you’re virtually buying the last hat you’ll ever need. This is definitely on my list of gifts to buy for my family. I recommend it without hesitation. And I’ll be looking into other Tilley products, as well.
