The SunLily hat’s flexible wooded fibers protect from the sun, but also stretch and fold into a compact roll you can snap to keep it that way. The braided leatherette strap won’t pop open when you slip it into a purse or suitcase.

We like that it looks like a traditional, beachy straw hat, but it functions better. In our past travels, we ended up carrying our sun hats rather than packing them, afraid of in-luggage crushing. SunLily goes right into your suitcase or bag.

Hats off for this fashionable, functional invention.
