[ 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 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.

[ This hat fits well, looks great, and is easy to wash. I bought it to provide sun protection while keeping me cool when fishing all day, and it performs well.

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.

5 Dann
[ Purchased Sunday Afternoons Sport Hat about a month ago and really like it. Very light and good air flow through venting mesh. Provides excellent sun protection to face and neck. Well made and very comfortable. Will be buying one for my wife.

[ 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!

[ 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)

[ 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.

[ 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!

A lightweight design is also beneficial for extended wear during hikes.

UV hiking hats are designed to shield your face, neck, and ears from harmful sun rays. They typically feature materials with built-in UV protection, which helps block ultraviolet radiation. Many styles also include wide brims or neck flaps to provide additional coverage, reducing the risk of sunburn during outdoor activities. Additionally, some hats may incorporate moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics to enhance comfort while hiking in sunny conditions.

Many hats also feature adjustable straps or bands, which can help achieve a comfortable fit. Consider the style of the hat as well, as some designs may fit differently based on their construction.

Breathability in UV hiking hats is essential for comfort during outdoor activities. It allows air to circulate, helping to regulate temperature and prevent overheating, especially in warm weather.

This feature enhances overall performance and enjoyment during extended periods spent outdoors.

Additionally, many UV hiking hats are constructed to be lightweight and quick-drying, making them suitable for various weather conditions encountered while hiking.

When selecting a UV hiking hat for long hikes, consider the material and breathability to ensure comfort during extended wear. Look for features such as a wide brim for better sun protection and moisture-wicking properties to keep you dry. Additionally, consider adjustable straps for a secure fit and any added features like ventilation or sweatbands to enhance comfort in varying conditions. Finally, ensure the hat provides adequate UV protection to shield your skin from harmful rays.
