Use a soft measuring tape or a piece of string to measure around your head where the hat will sit. Make sure the tape is sitting loosely, not tight, as this will help ensure the hat fits comfortably with a relaxed feel, and not too snug on the head.

I love this surf hat so much. This is my 2nd purchase as I lost the first one (left it at the surf shower - hope someone else is enjoying the hat). The hat is sturdy and chin strap very comfy. The colors and pattern are super fun and I always get compliments. I highly recommend these hats!!

Best ever surf hat
My second hat and I downsized to M. It’s perfect for wearing while bodysurfing. Offers sun protection and stays on when I’m catching waves. I ❤️❤️❤️ it.
