[ I bought this hat on my walk to work, and I ’ ve worn it every single day since. The materials keep me out of the warm sun, and my head feels cool all day. The hat is very comfortable and adjustable, I was surprised at how good the price was. I would highly recommend!

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!

[ 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 lightweight sun/rain hat for hiking ... 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.

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 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.

5 Miles G
Nice hat, keeps the sun and rain off. Use for paddling.

5 SJST
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

I bought the blue bucket hat for a Florida kayaking trip and it was great! The cord that holds it on was totally necessary because we had wind gusts and other people's hats were blowing off. I did let my granddaughter borrow mine for awhile.

5 Clark
Just regular outdoor stuff. Walks, hikes. Love how light it is and the semi rigid, yet flexible brim.

5 Kevin
Great hat to protect my ears and neck from the sun. Wore it on a Grand Canyon river trip and worked like a charm. And the odd color pattern made me a topic of conversation. Thanks

[ 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)
