[ 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.

[ 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.

4 406gal
[ 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.

[ 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!

I already owned a Charter hat, then I saw this one with a slightly smaller brim. I wear them to play golf. Very comfortable. I have n't washed this one yet but the original Charter hat is easy to clean. Easy to fine tune the size.

5 Boon2
Good design, adjustable feature does not deform the hat.

5 MissGym
Bought this a week ago to wear while playing golf. Upon trying it on, I was impressed with several features.. how well it was made, the unique fitting system,& the sunglasses holder.. however, it convinced me that I am more of a visor person.. an extremely nice hat for a much cheaper price than some competitors.. sadly, I returned it..

[ Needed a hat to keep the sun off during my walks. This does the job and keeps me cool. Love the way your can adjust the hat in the inside and the not so secret pocket is great too!

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.

5 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!!

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!

Frequently Asked Questions For Packing Hats For Travel

When selecting packing hats for travel, consider features like packability, lightweight materials, and UV protection. Hats that can be easily folded or rolled without losing their shape are ideal for travel. Additionally, breathable fabrics can enhance comfort during long journeys.

Packing hats are specifically designed to be lightweight and flexible, allowing them to be easily stored in luggage without taking up much space. Unlike regular hats, which may be bulkier and less forgiving when packed, packing hats often use materials that can withstand being compressed.

Yes, certain styles of packing hats are better suited for specific activities. For example, wide-brimmed hats provide excellent sun protection for beach outings, while sporty caps may be more appropriate for hiking or casual wear. Choosing the right style can enhance your comfort and functionality during your travels.

Packing hats are typically made from lightweight, durable materials such as nylon, polyester, or straw. These materials not only help reduce weight but also offer breathability and moisture-wicking properties, making them comfortable for extended wear in various climates.

To maintain the shape of your packing hat during travel, opt for hats designed with structural integrity, such as those with reinforced brims. Additionally, packing them in a way that minimizes compression, such as placing them in the center of your luggage surrounded by soft items, can help preserve their form.

Yes, packing hats can be versatile for different seasons. Many are designed with features that cater to both sun protection in summer and warmth in cooler months. Look for hats with removable liners or adjustable brims to adapt to changing weather conditions.
