[ This hat is everything I hoped it would be- comfortable, functional& stylish. The strap is sturdy& the hat does n't move even with substantial gusts on open ocean.

5 Michelle
[ I bought this in white a long time ago and absolutely loved it. This one is just as nice, great quality, and hopefully will not get as dirty as easily.

[ I love hats and after losing my Columbia wide- brim hat in Zurich( I blame the chocolate) back in 2023, I was relieved to see a replacement a couple weeks ago. Imagine my surprise to unbox such a stylish chapeau! Though its wider brim made me think of Paris in the spring, it was bought for adventures in South America. Mid- August, I leave for a month- long vacation to Brazil where this hat will protect me from tropical rays as I stroll the famous beaches of Rio de Janeiro followed by 3 weeks in the Pantanal( jaguar safari!) and then an Amazon riverboat cruise. Packable, well- constructed with a must- have adjustable strap, it will literally top several quick- dry, multi- purpose, insect- shielded, Omni- Freeze Zero clothing from Columbia. In the meantime, I 've worn this hat for outdoor concerts and shopping at the Farmer's Market here at home in the Midwest. My head circumference is 21. 5 inches and the S/M is perfect. Thank you Columbia for getting it right, again!

5 Kim
[ Width of the hat brim is perfect for both front and back of neck. Folds up nicely.

5 TClemmens
[ Bought this for a European trip in September. Wanted a sun hat that also looked cute and this hat is points on. It ’s very comfortable, even fits over my pony tail( pony sits at base of neck) easily. Like the strap for just in case weather. Using it as a walking hat right now and it ’s very breathable. Uneasy packing it the way the picture shows as I feel like it ’ ll crack. Might just have to lay it down like traditional hat packing. It, I ’ d buy again( bought a small) and so many colors to choose from!

[ I like that it is reversible and it's a tidy trick flipping it. Like the color and the back brim does n't get all caught up in my backpack like a more rigid and broader brim hat I have does and drives me nuts. Good hat, great price. Packable.

[ Was looking for a more feminine Boonie that ’s as functional as my old unisex Boonie. Love the reversible feature- both sides are pleasing. Unsure of durability- seems to be more fashionable than functional.

[ Great little hat. So easy to carry on or off trail. Stuffs into pocket or backpack out in an instant. No worries of bill being smashed like a ball cap.

5 Saba
[ Ordered this cap because I lost the exact cap a couple of weeks earlier, have had one for a couple of years and could not go through life without It!

[ I love the pocket hats. I have 4 of them! They are so comfortable that I can wear them all day. You are unable to adjust the size but that does n't matter to me.

5 Emer
[ I buy extras of this hat because my head is big; one size all does not fit me so if I ca n't just buy one off the rack to keep the sun out of my eyes if I lose one. They are comfy, fold easily into my bag, I like the style. Not easy to find in an XL.

[ I ’ m a lifty at a ski resort in New Hampshire, I bought this for the rain and snow days, bEST hat I have ever owned!!! I get compliments every time I wear it, warm and keeps the wet out. Worth every penny and very Versatile

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 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

5 Jenda
[ 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!

[ Nice wide brim with ability to adjust to fit your head circumference. The brim can be flipped up, which can slightly change the look. It ’s cute for the beach!

5 MacKenzie C.
[ I love this hat! It's a bit oversized, so it drapes over my face well, providing a lot of shade. This is my go- to hat for the pool and the beach! When it's fully open, it covers my full face, chest, neck, and part of my shoulders. A summer time staple!

5 Meghan W.
[ This is the hat I ’ ve been looking for! Actually gives me some sun coverage and so cute!!

4 Bryna S.
[ I saw this hat in your store in Naperville IL, but decided to wait till home, Healdsburg CA to purchase it-- so as not to have to crush it in travel. Not sure it is the same hat... Only one in your catalogue though... I do like it, but brim seems much smaller... Very nice quality!

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.

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

5 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.

5 Donald
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.

5 Kim M
Keeps you dry in a deluge... truly! And it's very packable.

[ 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!!

5 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.

5 Jessica
[ This is a adorable hat on my 4 year old, who just outgrew his infant hat by the same brand after wearing it for 3 years!! It's a great brand with good customer service, too. Amazing quality hats that last forever!
