I 've tried on several bigger name brand hats that never fit well. This one looks nicer on and is comfortable to wear. The brim seems long enough to keep the rain off of my face and neck, but I have n't had it out yet in the rain yet for a good test.

Outdoor Research Helium Rain Full Brim Hat

The best cool weather rain hat out there ... Waterproof hat in nice colors. ... I do like the reflective logos, how light the hat is, the wide brim, and( so far) the waterproofness of the Pertex Diamond Shield
5
Happy camper
[ Loved the hat, but it was too big for me in the sm/med size so it flapped around too much in the wind. If they sized them as L, M, S I would have kept it.

Waterproof hat in nice colors. Chin strap. Big brim to keep dry in the rain.

snuz55
[ 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.

Yes, I 've already tested this hat in a storm and was delighted that it performed as advertised. Quite unlike others I have that leaked around the brim in heavy rains.

[ The hat fit very well-- the back adjustment band is a little different but once I figured it out, no issues. The hat looks good and really works well in keeping the rain off your head and face.

HikerTone
[ I have worn Seattle Sombreros ever since the first generation of them hit the market. That line of hats are tough as nails. In fact I still have my first one from the late 1980s and it is still waterproof. This ball cap version looks just as durable and fits my big cranium with room to spare and believe me I have a hard time finding hats that are not too tight. OR has consistently made good gear and this cap measures up to the standard. The only problem with it is this; I do not think `` one size fits all '' will work for people with small heads. But other than that it is a good quality hat that is comfortable to wear even when it is hot.
5
EndlessMike
[ Great lower profile hat that fits me well and breathes enough, but can still repel some mist and light drizzle. Works great on those days when it's too warm for a beanie, but rain is still coming down. So basically half the year in the PNW.

KGrube
[ I have bought this hat for my children for years and everyone else I know has too! I just purchased a size M for my 4 year old. The tag says it is for 3- 6 year olds, just to give you an idea of the sizing. My just- turned 7 year old needed a size Large. Great for keeping off the sun!
5
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.

[ This is the only hat my husband will wear when doing anything out in the sun! This is about the 5th hat he ’s owned!! He is fair skinned and he takes the advice from his dermatologist very seriously! We live at close to 7, 000 feet elevation and he goes hiking and snowshoeing at 10, 000 feet. Doesn ’ t go anywhere without this hat! Our son in law is a two of these hats now and loves them!

The Sun Runner Cap is an essential piece of gear for my long days of ecological field research in the hot, sunny, arid deserts of Utah. The lightweight and protective material has kept my neck and ears from burning. The fitted cap and chin cord keeps my hat in place in windy conditions. The versatile design has also been crucial in decreasing my exposure to dusty roads, plant materials, and other allergens throughout the day, as I 've been able to tie the cape to cover my nose. I may add Velcro to the cape to cover my nose more easily though. I definitely recommend this excellent product!

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.
5
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.

Matt
[ This Hat does its job well. Light weight. Water resistant. Easily stuffed in a bag for storage. Retains it's shape after storage. I hav n't yet needed to use this hat in heavy rain, but it seemed to work well in light rain

[ I bought this hat for my fair skinned husband. He wears it when he ’s working on the yard. It keeps his head cool and the sun out of his face. It ’s a winner!

Truly the apex in sun coverage headwear! Really digging the ventilation above the brim. Purchased the Light Orewood/Crimson for sunny Mojave Desert hikes and am not disappointed in the slightest. Excellent adventure hat, it ’s a cinch to tighten to your skull when the wind gets offensive. I wouldn ’ t be opposed to a removable cooling drape for the neck!

I have had this hat for over 14 years and use it primarily for kayaking. When property fitted to my head, it stays on even with rolling and strong headwinds. This IS ONLY go- to hat when I paddle( it is my signature clothing). Unfortunately, after all these years of sunshine, salt, and surf I must retire it and purchase another.

After much research and checking out many types of hats, my son purchased the same( but older version) 15+ years ago to wear hike on a High Adventure Scout Outing to Philmount. It was waterproof with an SPF of 50 and very light. Snaps on the side came in handy as well as the adjustable size. Now- years later, when I reached out to the company- OR- and asked them about the SPF( I could n't remember that!) because I now have to protect my face from all sun. We corresponded a few times and were able to do the research to tell me as well as show me the current version which is the Seattle Rain Hat. And after all these years it still looks new. I HIGHLY recommend this company for any product. And I love the Seattle Rain Hat which I will be wearing all summer. https: //www. outdoorresearch. com/collections/rain- hats/products/seattle- rain- hat- 322290

[ This hat is light, packable, has a perfect width brim, doesnt't bump your backpack at the back of your head and has a nice choice of colors. Whats not to like.
5
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

Elaine
[ I am a runner and a hiker in the strong sun and heat of AZ; this hat provides just the protection I need while being light and airy enought to feel like it's not there for my runs/hikes!

[ Having had skin cancer in the past it is very important to limit my sun exposure. I love to kayak, camp, fish, and spend time outside so this hat is perfect for my fresh air adventures! Nice wide brim and covers your neck. Beats having to grease up so much with sunscreens.( bought 3 of these)

Frequently Asked Questions For Best Waterproof Hat
When searching for the best waterproof hat, consider features such as water-resistant materials, breathability, and a secure fit. Look for hats with sealed seams and durable water repellent (DWR) coatings to enhance their waterproof capabilities. Additionally, consider features like adjustable straps or chin cords to ensure the hat stays in place during windy conditions.
Waterproof hats are designed to protect against rain and moisture, making them suitable for wet weather. However, their effectiveness can vary based on the material and construction. Some hats may also provide UV protection, making them versatile for sunny days, but it's essential to check the specific features to ensure they meet your needs for different weather conditions.
Common materials for waterproof hats include nylon, polyester, and specialized waterproof fabrics like Gore-Tex. These materials are often treated with water-repellent finishes to enhance their performance. It's important to consider the weight and breathability of the fabric, especially if you plan to wear the hat for extended periods.
Choosing the right style of waterproof hat depends on your intended activities and personal preference. For outdoor adventures like hiking or fishing, a wide-brimmed hat may offer better sun protection and coverage. Conversely, for casual wear or sports, a more streamlined design might be preferable. Consider the hat's features, such as ventilation and packability, based on your specific needs.
While waterproof hats are primarily designed for wet conditions, many are also made with breathable materials that can be suitable for hot weather. Look for hats that incorporate ventilation features or moisture-wicking liners to enhance comfort during warmer temperatures. However, be mindful that some waterproof materials may retain heat, so it's essential to choose wisely based on the climate.
