Only had about a month but feel like I 've pushed it hard. Really enjoying this for trail running and backpacking. Definitely cooler than a full hat, especially when wearing under a sun hoodie. Stretches nicely, does a good job at managing sweat drip. Stays comfortable when wearing all day. Can still blow off if you 're not careful. my daughters tell me it looks dorky, but they say that about a lot of things...

Robby
For starters I ’ m bald and shave my head often. So I feel like I ’ m constantly looking for the right hats. I ’ ve had this for 24 hours and truly find it to be thee most comfortable hat I ’ ve tried and checks so many boxes. It seems fairly breathable but haven ’ t gotten to use it actively yet. It has such a comfortable band. Again, for a bald guy it ’s so ideal. It ’s super soft. I ’ m sure it packs well. I ’ m 6 feet tall with a fairly normal to slightly large head and small/medium is perfect whereas for tried the gamma in s/m and it was laughably small. I hope they use these materials more in other hats because it ’s just that comfortable.

I think this is the perfect hat. It's super packable and on my trip to Africa I put it in my backpack and it came out of the backpack looking perfect- was n't damaged at all from being packed away. It has a really nice deep fit which I really appreciate because I have a larger head and it does n't feel like it's on top of my head it feels like my head is inside of the hat. I hope you will make more colors in this hat. It's perfect

[ Love my cooling bucket hat. I was a little hesitant at first because it was so light. It turned out to be amazing it protects from the sun and most important when I wet the hat it really does keep me cooler. I do my yard every week and have a vegetable garden so this bucket hat has been my go to hat ever since I received it. I can also just throw it in the washer with no problem comes out same way it when in can ’ t do that with my straw hats.

Lotus
[ I love the design of this rain/hiking hat. It has a nice felt lining and is wind resistant. Although this hat protects from the sun's harmful RAY 'S, it is not meant for really hot weather due to the felt lining( meant to keep your head warm). Outdoor Research makes sun hats that are more suited to the desert or really hot climates.

Love NC and FL
[ I go to the YMCA pool and met a nice couple that each had OR hats. I inquired about their hats. I liked what I heard so I purchased one for me and my husband. I love this hat I because it fits well, protects me from the sun and it is waterproof. I wear it when doing water exercise and when riding bike. I also purchased the Sombriolet sun hat which has a wider brim, vents and a chord to tighten to my head. I use both and I am very pleased because of the functionality and quality. PS I still use my baseball cap and visors.

Careful reviewer
[ I bought this to work outside on hot days, and it works well for that. I have n't tried it on a super hot day yet, but suspect it could use a bit more breathability for those conditions. It provides full coverage from the sun and still gives you pretty good vision. I did n't buy it for looks, but I think it looks cool in kind of a dorky way. The sizing is a bit big, I 'm a 7 1/2 hat size and got a large, and have to cinch the strap down pretty much to get it to fit tight, which wrinkles it up a bit, but I tried a medium and it just was n't quite big enough. It is nice to have the adjustability, which you do with an easy pull strap. The colors are great and the price is fair.

Suzi
[ Bought this for sun protection while walking and hiking. I live in AZ and the sun is brutal. But my challenge is finding a hat that has great ventilation as well to keep me from over heating. This hat hits all my requirements. I should probably also wear it playing golf but.... sorry... need to have a sun hat with more style for that sport. But for walking, running and hiking it is PERFECT

[ I bought these last month for my kids and I and we wear them all the time. They are so easy to pack and we bring them along whenever we are going to be in the sun a lit. We wear also wear them while we swim in the pool or lake. I have a very small adult head so I fit in a large. I also got my 3 year old a large because he has a pretty big head. It is a bit big on him, but not too big that it is uncomfortable. He 'll be able to eat it for years to come. I got my 5 year old the other version in a medium as he had a small head like me and it works great for him. They are expensive but worth it!!

[ This kids hat has all the quality& features of an adult hat! With the size adjustment strap in the back it will fit now and for years to come. It has excellent, wide brim sun protection, mesh ventilation& even reflective strips. The brim has a fold in the middle so it can pack down small and fit in a pocket or any pack. It also dries quickly so it ’s great for water activities as well. It also stays on very well as kids play& have fun. If she ever grows out of this one, we ’ ll get the next size up.

The hat is a solid hat from Outdoor Research. It reminds me of one of my favorite hats from 4- 5 years ago from OR. The hat is a mid crowd hat compared to other older models breathable trucker hats.

Easy to clean or wash off on a a rainy day. Solid boat or river hat too.

This hat is a great performance hat for everything. It is a little heavier than a normal swift hat, but I tend to like a heavier hat as this one is more durable.

When selecting a hiking hat, consider features that enhance comfort and protection. Look for materials that offer breathability and moisture-wicking properties to keep you cool during your hike. A wide brim can provide shade from the sun, while adjustable straps ensure a secure fit. Additionally, consider hats with UV protection and water-resistant capabilities for added functionality in varying weather conditions.
To choose the right size for a hiking hat, start by measuring the circumference of your head just above your ears and eyebrows. Use a flexible measuring tape for accuracy, and note the measurement in inches or centimeters. Most hats come with sizing charts that correlate your head measurement to specific sizes, so refer to these charts to find the best fit. Additionally, consider the hat's adjustability features, such as straps or bands, which can help ensure a comfortable and secure fit during your outdoor activities.
When selecting a hiking hat, consider materials that offer breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and UV protection. Lightweight fabrics like nylon or polyester are ideal for warm weather, as they help keep you cool and dry. In cooler conditions, hats made from wool or blended materials can provide warmth while still allowing for moisture management. Additionally, look for hats with features like water resistance for unexpected rain and ventilation panels to enhance airflow.
Yes, certain styles of hats are designed to provide better sun protection while hiking. Wide-brimmed hats, such as boonie hats and bucket hats, offer extended coverage for the face, neck, and ears, which can help shield you from harmful UV rays. Additionally, hats made from lightweight, breathable materials can enhance comfort during outdoor activities, while features like moisture-wicking fabric and ventilation can help keep you cool. Look for hats with UPF ratings for added sun protection.
Breathability is a crucial factor in a hiking hat, as it helps regulate temperature and moisture during outdoor activities. A well-ventilated hat allows heat to escape and prevents sweat buildup, keeping you comfortable on the trail. Materials that promote airflow can enhance your overall hiking experience, especially in warm weather. Choosing a hat with breathable features can make a significant difference in your comfort level while hiking.
Wearing a hat while hiking offers several benefits that enhance your outdoor experience. A hat can provide shade, helping to protect your face and neck from the sun's rays, which is especially important during long hikes. Additionally, it can help keep sweat out of your eyes and provide warmth in cooler conditions. Many hats are designed with moisture-wicking materials, which can improve comfort by keeping you dry and cool.
Yes, you can wear a hiking hat in rainy conditions, but it's important to choose one made from water-resistant or quick-drying materials. Many hiking hats are designed to provide protection from the elements, including rain, while also offering features like ventilation and moisture-wicking properties. Look for styles that have a brim to help keep rain off your face and neck for added comfort during wet hikes.
When choosing a hat for hiking, consider the season and weather conditions. In warmer months, lightweight, breathable hats with moisture-wicking properties are ideal to keep you cool and comfortable. For cooler seasons, opt for hats that provide insulation and coverage, such as those with a snug fit or ear flaps. Additionally, hats with wide brims can offer sun protection in summer, while those with a more fitted design can help retain heat in colder weather.
To ensure your hiking hat stays secure during outdoor activities, look for features such as adjustable chin straps or elastic bands that can help keep the hat in place. A snug fit is important, so choose a size that fits comfortably without being too tight. Additionally, consider hats with a wide brim for added stability and protection from the elements.
