    "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!"

    Brilliant

    Love this hat, it fits really well, looks good and I’m sure will become my favourite. To have it shipped half way round the world it arrived much quicker than expected. It was packed perfectly so there was no chance of damage and the quality was very very good, Only worn it a few times so far but been very pleased with it. It’s dressy enough for not only everyday wear but for when I need to be more smart as well. If you want a good looking hat at almost does it all give it a go you won’t be disappointed

    Explorer In Texas

    102°F in Texas and my SOAKED Aussie Chiller absolutely defends me in every way needed. Got this hat for my birthday and the hat arrived in about a week from Australia to Texas. Fit perfectly right out of the box and couldn't be happier!
