This is a big hat which keeps the sun off my face, ears, and neck. It's not very stylish, but it's comfortable and I do not get too hot when it's on. I 'm wearing it on every dog walk and any other time I am outside for a while in the sun.

5 jrad
[ Great hat. Sturdy and comfortable. Keeps out the sun and provides good coverage of face, shoulders, and neck. I highly recommend this hat for sunny locations

[ 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.

5 ColoradoSusan
[ 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!

Initial use of the hat proved to be perfect. It is very comfortable and protects face, ears, and neck. Comfort does not effect golf game, which was a concern prior to purchase. Would recommend using rather than a traditional cap.

5 Abcd
[ 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

5 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!

5 Another Moosejaw Fan
[ 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)

5 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.

5 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.

Frequently Asked Questions For Best Sun Hats For Working Outdoors

When selecting sun hats for outdoor work, consider features such as a wide brim for maximum sun protection, moisture-wicking materials for comfort, and adjustable straps for a secure fit. Look for hats with UV protection ratings to ensure your skin is safeguarded from harmful rays. Additionally, ventilation is important to keep you cool during hot weather.

The best materials for sun hats designed for outdoor work typically include lightweight, breathable fabrics that offer UV protection. Common materials include nylon, polyester, and straw, which can provide durability and comfort. It's also beneficial to choose hats with moisture-wicking properties to help manage sweat during long hours outside.

To choose the right size sun hat for outdoor work, measure your head circumference just above your ears and eyebrows. Most hats come with sizing charts that correlate measurements to sizes like small, medium, or large. Ensure the hat fits snugly but comfortably, allowing for ventilation and movement without being too tight.

Yes, certain styles of sun hats are better suited for specific outdoor activities. For example, wide-brimmed hats are ideal for gardening or fishing, providing ample sun protection, while bucket hats may be preferred for hiking due to their lightweight and packable nature. Consider the activity and environment when selecting the best style for your needs.

To ensure your sun hat stays secure while working outdoors, look for hats with adjustable chin straps or drawstrings that can be tightened for a better fit. Additionally, consider hats with a snug band around the head that prevents slippage. Testing the hat's fit during movement can help determine if it will stay in place during your activities.
