bushie plus Size Guide

Measuring Your Head Size
- To determine your hat size follow these 3 simple steps:
Measure the circumference around your head - approximately 12mm (1/2”) above the ears - Keep the dressmaker tape level and firm, across the temple and above the eyebrow ridges.
- Check the size chart given above.
NOTE: For in-between measurements we recommend selecting the next size up, as you don't want the annoying head pressure.
You could add a drawstring & toggle for extra security. You can also add our Chiller Fillers (foam strips) to your order. They stick under the interior elastic sweatband out of sight. This would reduce 1 hat size (1cm/0.4")
For A Perfect Fit.
If you’re on the border and worried that the next size up will be too loose, just add our custom Hat Filler’s under the front and rear elastic sweatband. They will be out of sight while you tailor your Chiller to be the perfect fit!

Perforated vs. Solid
Perforated vs. Solid
The Solid crown is your traditional crown. The Perforated crown allows greater air flow, and allows it to be packed flat easier, with minimal creases.
You can pack either Bushie Plus flat, but please don’t fold it as you could compromise the brim. Minor creases may appear, but they can be steamed out or once submerged.
Another option is to turn it upside down and pack clothing in the crown to save space.

"Thank you I love my hat! Ordered my pearl Bushie Plus just before travelling to Sicily and with the swift delivery I got it in time for departure. I’m so satisfied with my hat that I will order also another modell when home again. Thank you for proving how online shopping really should be. I will recommend to anybody to go through with a purchase from Aussi Chiller."

"The best hat I’ve ever owned! I travel a lot and was looking for a versatile packable hat for warmer weather. I explored the Aussie Chiller site and ordered the perforated Bushie based on the reviews. I’m so happy I did. I live in the northeast US and recently traveled to Key West Florida. The Bushie came out of my suitcase unscathed. Just popped it back in shape. I wore it all the time from the beach, pool, soaked it and it kept me cool in very warm weather. I’m a musician and wore it to perform. I received so many compliments. I’m going to order a solid Bushie plus for the cooler months. Thank you Aussie Chiller for a wonderful well made hat!"

This is my second bushie plus. This time I bought the right size. Fits great! All the features as my first one. The best golf hat I have found. Much better than a cap or others. I play at least two times a week and therefore need the sun protection and heat relief. Both are addressed by this hat.

Very good service , took awhile to get here but I do live in the UK so is to be expected. Great and well made hat and if I do need another I will certainly purchase another 😀

I was pleasantly surprised when the hat arrived boxed and in great shape it definitely was worth the time. The fit and quality are fantastic I really liked the hat I normally wouldn't order something like this online but the process was easy measuring and ordering glad I took the opportunity. We are still in winter so I've only had a few days hot enough to soak the hat but what a difference it actually makes while still being comfortable.
