William P. from United States, HI Public Profile

Bought this hat living in Hawaii and trying to protect my ears and neck from the unforgiving sun. I use this hat hiking and playing softball and it works great for this. I was concerned about how goofy it would look wearing this hat but once it's on and I go about my business I stop caring what others think and am glad I purchased it because it just plain works. Keeps me cooler, stops the sun from roasting my ears and neck, and packs small. One trick I've learned is that when I tuck the cape back into the hat to wear as a normal cap is that I can also tuck the sides of the cap over the tops of me ears so that it still provides protection from the sun. There is a toggle in the back of the cap to tighten or loosen the cap. All in all a great purchase for me. Highly recommended.

Purchased this pillow on sale for use with the Sunset chair. One valve on the right to inflate, one valve on the left to quickly deflate. You can inflate to your desired firmness level. It has a Velcro patch to attach to your chair and you can adjust the height to your desired preference. It deflates easily and comes with a carrying pouch which fits inside the sunset chair case to keep it together. It takes 2 or 3 breathes to inflate the pillow.
For those of you that have the sunset chair, I found the comfort once adjusted to be amazing. If you blow it up too much it has a trampoline effect, however once deflated slightly it offers great support and comfort. It also make the chair look streamlined and complete. IMO this should be included with the purchase of the chair. The sunset chair carrying case stuffed with a towel or clothes was never comfortable for me, always drooped from weight, and if used a towel or something I couldn't then use it as a pillow. This is the better solution.
The only cons I have are that it's pricy, and I think it should be included with the purchase of the sunset chair. As with all of the Helinox products this item is well made, well designed, and works well. I applaud them for making accessories that augment the utility and comfort of their products and also applaud campsaver for regularly putting their items on sale because that's the only time I will buy it. Aloha and mahalo.
