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.

Thomas
[ Got tired of putting sunscreen all over my ears and back of neck for walks/runs, and this has great sun coverage! It stays cool even on warm runs. Love the ponytail opening and adjustable tightness, but I do n't use the hanging drawcord. I probably should, because this catches in the wind and blows off a little more than regular baseball caps if it's not adjusted tight. My friends assure me it does n't even look quite as stupid as I was worried it would, but the goal is sun coverage, and for that it works great.

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.
5
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

Sam M
[ 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!!

Rostapher
[ 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. The material breaths well and the adjustment system is simple and easy to adjust on windy days. You can throw it in your bag in the morning and wear for happy hour beers after a ride. 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. The connection point in the back is stretchy which is very comfortable. I have been running with this hat and it has become my go- to running hat. I am very picky with my hats and this OR hat ticks all the boxes of what I would consider to be a great hat.

[ 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.

[ 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.

[ The hat seems to fit well as I do have a relatively large head. It blocks sun well. Given I live in Florida, I have not been able to test in the rain yet. I read conflicting reviews on how waterproof it is. I plan to use for long hime in Portugal later this month. If I encounter torrential downpours, I will also have a waterproof hood to wear over top. I think the color I purchased is fine for what I need.

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...
When selecting a summer hiking hat, consider features that enhance comfort and protection. Look for lightweight and breathable materials that allow for airflow while keeping you cool. A wide brim can provide shade from the sun, and moisture-wicking properties help manage sweat. Additionally, features like adjustable straps or chin cords can ensure a secure fit during your outdoor activities.
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 size charts that correlate head measurements to specific sizes, so refer to these charts to find your ideal fit. Additionally, consider the hat's adjustability features, such as straps or elastic bands, which can help ensure a comfortable and secure fit during your outdoor activities.
When selecting a summer hiking hat, look for materials that offer breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and UV protection. Lightweight fabrics such as nylon and polyester are commonly used, as they dry quickly and help keep you cool. Additionally, hats with mesh panels can enhance airflow, making them ideal for warm weather. Consider options with built-in sun protection to shield your face and neck from harmful rays.
Yes, certain styles of hiking hats are designed to offer enhanced sun protection. Wide-brimmed hats, such as boonie hats, provide shade for the face, neck, and ears, which are often exposed to direct sunlight. Additionally, hats with UPF-rated fabrics can help block harmful UV rays, making them a suitable choice for long hikes in sunny conditions. Caps with neck flaps or adjustable brims can also offer extra coverage and versatility for varying sun exposure.
Breathability is a crucial factor in a summer hiking hat, as it helps to keep you cool and comfortable during outdoor activities. A well-ventilated hat allows heat and moisture to escape, reducing the risk of overheating. Additionally, breathable materials can enhance overall comfort by preventing sweat buildup, which can be particularly important during long hikes in warm weather. Choosing a hat with good breathability can significantly improve your hiking experience.
Wearing a hat while hiking in the summer offers several benefits. It provides shade for your face and neck, helping to keep you cooler in the heat. A hat can also protect your eyes from the sun's glare, improving visibility on bright days. Additionally, it can help prevent sunburn and reduce the risk of overheating during extended outdoor activities.
Yes, a summer hiking hat can be worn in various weather conditions, as many are designed to provide protection from the sun while also being breathable and lightweight.
