Simple and effective coverage, excellent stretchy and durable UPF 50+ fabric, comfy gusseted arms and raglan sleeves While the Islander is a great all-around sun hat, it's not the best technical performer. This isn't a light hat, either. At 6.2 ounces, this is one of the heavier hats we reviewed. However, we found this hat to be extremely comfortable, even at this heavier weight.
