Check price on AmazonBest for
Anglers who want a wide, 8cm brim for shade on open water and prefer a waterproof polyester build over cotton. The camo pattern suits anyone who wants their hat to double as low-profile cover while wading or casting from shore.
Skip if
Skip this if 50+ monthly purchases feels too thin next to the Home 4345729073's 5,000+ pace, or if you want a rating above 4.2, since the Sunday VCHLCS and Home hat both post higher averages in this set.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
A wide brim matters most when the sun sits low over open water and there's no shade for hours, and that's the gap the ZLYC waterproof camo sun hat is built to fill. It uses a polyester shell with an 8cm brim, sold in a camo white colorway as a single unit, and it's priced at $16.99.
That price lands right in line with the Home 4345729073 hat, also $16.99, though the Home hat carries a far larger 10,800-review base and 5,000+ monthly purchases against the ZLYC's 922 reviews and 50+ bought last month. Against the $8.99 ZOORON hat and the $75 Sunday VCHLCS, the ZLYC sits closer to the middle of the price range covered here, with a 4.2-star average that trails both the Home hat's 4.7 stars and the Sunday's 4.6.
The waterproof polyester build and wide brim make sense for anglers focused on functional sun coverage rather than review-count bragging rights. With 922 reviews already logged, there's a reasonable sample size behind the 4.2-star average, even if the monthly purchase pace is modest next to the category's biggest seller.
Pros
- 8cm brim offers more shade coverage than a standard ball-cap style fishing hat.
- Waterproof polyester construction suits wet conditions better than a cotton hat.
- 922 reviews back its 4.2-star average, a larger sample than several competitors at similar prices.
- Priced at $16.99, matching the Home 4345729073 hat exactly.
- Camo White colorway gives low-profile cover for anglers who prefer it over solid colors.
Cons
- 4.2-star average trails the 4.7 stars posted by the similarly priced Home 4345729073.
- 50+ bought last month is far behind the Home hat's 5,000+ monthly pace at the same price.
- Only one color option (8cm Brim Camo White) and one unit per order.
- No stated UPF rating in the listed specs despite the sun-hat positioning.

Performance notes
The 8cm brim is the defining spec, giving noticeably more shade than a typical fishing cap, which matters most on boats or open shorelines with no tree cover. Polyester construction, paired with a waterproof claim, means the hat should shed light rain and spray rather than soaking through the way a cotton hat would, and it should dry faster afterward too. Sold as a single unit in one camo colorway, there's no sizing or pack-count flexibility listed. At $16.99, it prices identically to the Home 4345729073, so the deciding factor between the two comes down to brim size and pattern preference rather than cost. Buyers who value a wider brim over a smaller sun cap should note this spec advantage, even though the review volume behind it is smaller.
What buyers say
A 4.2-star average across 922 reviews is a meaningful sample, larger than the review count behind several similarly priced hats, and enough to smooth out one-off complaints. Still, it trails the 4.7-star average the Home 4345729073 holds across 10,800 reviews at the same $16.99 price, and the 50+ bought last month figure is a fraction of the Home hat's 5,000+ pace. That gap suggests the ZLYC has an established but smaller buyer base rather than being a runaway favorite in the category. Nothing about the pattern signals a defect, just lower relative traction than the category leader.

Frequently asked questions
How big is the brim on the ZLYC sun hat?
The listed spec is an 8cm brim, wider than most standard fishing caps, built to block sun from more angles. That's the hat's main selling point relative to smaller-brimmed alternatives in this lineup, and it's worth prioritizing for anglers who spend long hours on open water without shade.
Is the ZLYC hat waterproof?
It's marketed as waterproof and built from polyester, which sheds water better than the cotton used in some competing fishing hats. That combination suits wet conditions like rain or spray better than cotton alternatives, though the listing doesn't specify a formal waterproof rating beyond the product description.
How does the ZLYC compare to the Home 4345729073 hat?
Both cost $16.99, but the Home 4345729073 holds a 4.7-star average across 10,800 reviews and 5,000+ monthly purchases, well ahead of the ZLYC's 4.2 stars, 922 reviews, and 50+ bought last month. The ZLYC's wider 8cm brim is its main point of differentiation against that higher-volume competitor.
