LTM3 Airflo Classic Sun Hat

I already own two LTM6 airflo hats....which are fine. But in my opinion this LTM3 hat is much better. It is less "in you face" and much more subtle in appearance. This should be better on traveling. I think the snaps on the side will prove to be a useful option. The 7 5/8 size fits perfectly just like my older hats. The quality is excellent. If anything it feels a bit sturdier than the older hats, but I suspect it will 'soften' a bit with time and use. The Black color is true. Overall this and EXCELLENT choice for my travel needs and uses.

I've been buying Tilly hats (this model) for many years. Way back when they had that little note in the pocket that said if you lose or damage beyond repair your Tilly hat, they would send you a new one for half price. These hats are great! Not only do I and most of my friends think they LOOK sharp, but they are very functional. That is the reason I bought my first one, and never looked back. They are my umbrella when it rains... they keep the Sun off my head but are not necessarily so hot that you don't want to wear it. I like that you can bunch it up in a ball, stuff it in your coat pocket or down the inside of a sleeve, and when retrieved, this hat bounces right back to its original shape. Can't say enough about this Tilly hat. Five FULL stars and I highly recommend.

Packaging was excellent. Hat arrived in perfect condition. Shipping was timely and accurate. Good communication within the package in the event of a needed return.

There are definitely less expensive brands to consider- you may get lucky and find a well built hat that looks good and holds its shape, but you will more likely get whatever quality you pay for. I looked at a fair number of sun hats and read a ton of reviews before deciding to spend the money for a genuine Tilley. I settled on the LTM3 model as I liked the ability to wear the side brims snapped up, or get a bit more sun protection with the sides left down. The hat was shipped in a pouch, so it definitely got crushed in shipping. It recovered nicely, with little evidence that the hat was probably less than 2" tall for a couple days. This is a lightweight hat that fits true to size and looks good on me. I believe it will last for years.

I bought this as a replacement for my original (2011) hat and, although it has the same product number and is the same in every other way, the new hat is actually deeper than the original. The hat is GREAT! the two straps have held it on even in very windy conditions; it is a breeze to machine wash and dries in minutes. I thought I had lost the original but it showed up after the replacement was delivered. I'm keeping the new one anyway.

Here in Michigan hats are used as an umbrella of sorts. Keeps the sun off, keeps the rain off, keeps your hands free. In the winter they are a must. My original Tilley is a great shape for kayaking or riding the pontoon. The thing is, on the sunniest days it gets pretty warm. It does a nice job of keeping the rain off, though. The baseball type caps are easy to come by but don't keep the sun off the ears and neck and just protect bald spot from rain. I saw the Tilley LTM3 Airflo hat and thought, if it does what it's supposed to it's my hat. I've had it almost 4 months. Paddled with in in Northern Michigan. Wore it at a football game in the rain. Took it to Mexico on vacation. Now I'm not planning on this being my favorite ice fishing hat, but it has performed excellently in all other applications. I did feel a rain drop once which probably came through the ventilation, but considering the downpour I was in it was insignificant. I didn't feel like I was perspiring any more with the hat than I would have without. The only thing I would caution one about is keeping an eye on it. When in Mexico in the past the peddlers in the market would call to my wife, "hey lady, come look at my stuff" and other such promotions. This trip it was "hey lady, come look at . . . hey mister, how much for the Tilley?" I got the feeling it would disappear quickly if I left it unattended for a moment.

Businesses are competitive and perhaps the China manufacturing gives a price edge. This is our world today. This is my fourth Tilley hat. I started with the original canvas hat in 1995 and still have it. I just retired my nylon LTM5 hat purchased in 2014-- it was warn extensively and was washed at least 100 times-I gave it to my grandson and he likes it. A great hat. I also had a TMH55 but my wife likes it more than me so she wears it. This new LTM3 is made in China and on close exam looks fine. The stitching, fit,, dimensions, visual, material, color-- all good. Someone mentioned the crown was round vs oval-- it is oval, this LTM3 I have looks identical to the LTM5 except for the snaps on the brim and the material is slightly heavier. The size of 7-3/8 fits me properly just like all the other hats. A solid thumbs up.

Nice looking with quality materials and construction

Like the look and fit of this hat It covers my ears and that’ the most important thing

十年近く前にカナダ旅行の際に現地で購入し愛用していましたが、古くなってきたので買い直しのためこちらで購入しました。 ロングセラー商品のようで、モデルチェンジせずに売っていてくれていて助かります。 日本製だとサイスがあまり選べませんが、こちらのメーカーでは1/4インチ刻みで、しかも体の大きな外人用のサイズまで取り揃えているのでうれしい限りです。

Tilley, c'est la rolls des chapeaux et ce modèle ne déroge pas à la règle. Une fois que vous avez identifié le bon tour de tête, achetez les yeux fermés et vous ne serez pas décus.

Great quality! Fast delivery!

For use as protection from the sun.
