This hat provides great sun protection and the adjustable band guarantees a perfect fit. It even absorbs sweat. I haven't had a chance to test it in the rain yet, but I bought it especially for my trip to the Amazon.
Henry - 2008-08-20Great Hat!
It's definitely my favorite hat. On rainy days it kept me dry. On hot sunny days, I felt it kept me cooler. I fish with it on and use it even when I play tennis.
My only minor disappointment is the Khaki color seemed to have a slight greenish tint.

I love the Outdoor Research sombrero gortex hat. The black and grey is very attractive and the hat is very comfortable and waterproof. Your service was equally great, and your easy exchange for the right size was most appreciated. I love your satisfaction guarantee and feel safe in purchasing from your company in the future.
Martha M. Hill - 2008-06-16Outstanding product and exemplary service!
We purchased this hat for my husband who underwent a surgical procedure for skin cancer on his ear. He is a high school football coach and this hat was a blessing for him to continue to coach and be in the sun with protection. It is lightweight and comfortable and is appropriate for the hot Georgia sun. We also received this hat in quick fashion and was able to monitor the progress of the shipping with timely e-mails. Great!
Dawn Gordon - 2008-05-13very pleased with this hat!
I do love this hat! I would wear it here, I would wear it there, I would wear in anywhere! But seriously, I have had it just 2 weeks and it kept me dry while out for a lunchtime walk in the pouring rain, and the chin strap kept in on my head on a blustery sunny day. My husband borrowed it for a day of fly fishing, and now he is just trying to decide on a colour to buy one for himself.
Maureen - 2008-04-27Great hat!
This is a new hat for me, but I have tested it in rain and snow on the sidelines of a few soccer matches. It kept my face dry which is a huge plus since I wear glasses. The adjustable fit is great-especially in high winds. It did keep my head warm and dry. I look forward to many years of use. it seems well made of good materials.
C. Sue Collins - 2008-02-11THE BEST!!!
My Daughter just happens to live in Seattle and we have now purchased Four Seattle Sombrero hats. They are perfect in everyway,for rain, maybe even sun! You can have them with you constantly, on, or around your neck, and they fold easily so can put them in a pack or purse. Don't stop making them, They should give them out at SEATAC! Thanks, Sue Collins
Rock - 2007-12-22Stay absolutely dry.
Being in law enforcement, we generally do not get to choose not to be out in inclement weather. This hat will keep your head and neck dry in the worst Oregon coast storms. The velcro adjustment strap inside ensures perfect fit and keeps the hat on your head even in strong winds. I would recommend this hat to anyone who plans to be in any sort rain or snow storms.
lynn Dries - 2007-11-27Great Hat!!
I live in Western Washington and the Seattle Sombrero Hat is the best rain hat I have owned. it keeps my head dry, looks good and fits right. Thank you.
Dale Tillman - 2007-11-12Best in all conditions
My favorite rain hat. Sizing is generous so my 7 1/2 hat size fits easily into a large. Very packable!

I love the hat. I took it on a trip sea kayaking in Croatia. It worked great. I have also used it hiking around our home in Germany. Great rainy day hat!
Rachel - 2007-09-05Great
The Seattle Sombrero Hat is perfect for working outdoors in areas where it rains a lot. It definitely keeps the rain off of your head and since the back is a little bit longer it stops the rain on top of the hat from sliding down your back. It is a great hat and should definitely be the top choice for outdoor activities.
Young Chae Kim - 2007-05-06waterproof
Outdoor Research: Seattle Sombrero Hat is the best in spring,autumn as well as in heavy weather.
Jamie Klickstein - 2007-04-16Great hat for a wet environment
I used this hat sea kayaking in Prince William Sound - it rain 8 days in a row (still had a great trip). The hat was a life savor - looks goofy but sure works well.
david - 2007-04-05Great hat
This hat has an excellent fit, keeps you dry for a long time and is also waterproof!

This hat keeps me dry so long~also waterproof.
Mulldog - 2007-03-05great fitting, rugged lid
Hat fits great w/ the adjustable velcro strap inside. Bought it for kayaking in the N-East (RI). Gets pretty snotty here in the spring and fall. Haven't had the opportunity to put it to the test but the gore-tex is solid..May be hot in the summer...we'll see. Heading to the FL Keys for some fishing in a few weeks....i'll try it in the baking sun there & see how th ventilation is
steve - 2007-03-02the best
excellent hat, great all weather attire, as I was hoping totally water proof!
Jose Carvalho - 2007-01-16Great Hat, even makes me look good!
This is a good quality hat that feels great on and performs well when needed. You put this hat on and you feel like you should be involved is some adventure...I plan on it.
Anonymous - 2007-01-03what a way to get out of the rain
In Arkansas the men wear bill caps and when it rains the red necks get wet. I took a chance and ordered the Sumbrero Hat to go with the oilskin duster. What a hit. Now he can work on the boat and not get water down his back. Don't tell him, but I think he really looks handsome in this great hat.
Tom Bunch - 2007-01-03Great Hat
I bought the Seattle Sumbrero Hat as a replacement gift for the OR hat my wife had lost years ago. The new one looks great on her. Nice shape to the crown.
Edward T. - 2006-12-21Good hat for the rain
Purchased awhile back. Used it when I went kayaking in the rain. The hat held up well and is lightweight. It is pricey but I have not found another hat that is comparable in quality, function, and appearance.
Anonymous - 2006-11-29This product lives up to its rating!!
I"ve intentionally gone for a walk in the rain up here in Washington, and this is the most
lightweight and waterproof hat that I have owned.It"s also very compact and folds up into a small bundle.
Margie Bourlet - 2006-11-27Great Product!
Bought the hat for hubby, he said it is the best he has ever had. Rain this year has been the worst ever and when he wears it to work outside on our 20 acres he says it keeps him dry even in the heaviest rain.
Ziga Tretjak - 2006-11-12A wonder hat
Bought my first Seattle Sombrero Hat 10 years ago and wore it out to the last. Even in Texas there are weeks to use it daily. It is a great and warm shield in inclement weather, even a pour down just does not reach you and the dark rim works protective wonders when the sun returns. Ideal for travel as it always stays in shape Just got another one to last for years.
Scott J - 2006-10-02Excellent !
Puchased the hat for hiking in bad weather and ended up using it for the first time in a golf tournament in the rain. Very comfortable and I stayed dry the whole time.

The construction is great, and lightweight for all
activities.
M. Deese - 2006-09-18GREAT HEADWEAR
I purchased this hat for use on duty as I am a K9 Deputy Sheriff and I frequently stand out in the rain on car accidents. Since I received the hat, I have used it several times in heavy downpours on I95 and it has worked GREAT!. The fit is snug, the brim withstands a heavy rain and keeps the rain off your face (similar to a boonie hat, but this one does not get soaked and cave in), and most important is that it is breathable. The hat also comes in many different colors and I was able to choose one to exactly match my uniform. I am real happy with the hat and would highly recommend it. The price was the best I could find online also. The first wreck I worked in the pouring raiin, I was glad I spent the $48. Trust me.
Mark Sandberg - 2006-09-13Excellent
Purchased this has 5 years ago - is still like new and has been used often. Rear of hat is designed like a fireman's hat - a bit longer to keep the rain off your neck. I love this hat and just bought another one for my father's 60th birthday!
Javier Lliso - 2006-08-12Perfect fit and usage
I have 3 of them in different places I use to go! I find it so good, I would not like to be under the rain without it.
Jack - 2006-08-05Great Cover Sports Fans
Love the cover as we say in the army. Just back from a long hike no overexposure to report. I applaud your company, your employees and your service to date. Without qusetion two things 1 I will purchase from you again anf 2 I will and have highly recommended your company to my collegues.
F_Banner - 2006-07-18Great product
This hat met all expectations. Completely water proof, light weight and very comfortable.
Field tested on a Canadian Fishing trip where heavy downpours are common. I wore this hat the entire week and am very pleased with it
Chris - 2006-06-21OR Seattle Sombrero
I have had mine for years and recently bought one for my girlfriend who just loves it. It's a great hat and very versatile!
Robin Hanbridge - 2006-06-05great hat
I love it, it stays on in the wind, andkeeps the rain off my head, plus i look cool in it.
Anonymous - 2006-05-21Great hat for golf too!
I used this in Rainy seattle and in Rainier Vancouver and in the Rain, Mist and wind in Ireland and Scotland. Makes a great golf hat!

Outdoor Research: Seattle Sombrero is very good looks and the best of all in any
weather.
shop2world - 2006-05-16The legendary Sombrero
The legendary soggy climate of the Pacific Northwest prompted us to develop this hat for use in a wide assortment of activities. It's great for active wet-weather pursuits such as sea kayaking, backpacking in the rainforest, or swinging a polaski on a rainy trailwork project.

This is my 4th OR Seattle Sombrero and it will not be my last.
Wolfgang Gunther - 2006-05-05Couldn't be without it
I bought a black Seattle Sombrero ten years ago for a trip to Australia. Loved it and fitted right in with the locals. Then I got a blue & black SS that looked a bit less severe. That went with me travelling world-wide. The rim is just right to keep rain drops from my glasses. Great for small camera photography in the rain. And it disappeared, somewhere in the Caribbean. Couldn't be without it, bought another blue/black one (different shade of blue), and we just booked a second trip to Australia
Mike Weathersby - 2006-05-01I finally broke down and bought one.
Great hat.. I should have purchased it sooner! I thought that I would be a little techno geeky with it but we just returned from a "weekend" trip and I may have sold 3-4 more.. Kept the rain and sun off of me very well.
dave - 2006-04-29Great for spring skiing - hot for summer
Wide brim for shade, but no vent holes or flaps.
Cat Turner - 2006-04-04Glad I Bought This One!
I have trouble finding hats that are small enough for me. I ordered the Seattle Sombrero in a small and it fits perfectly. Not only does it keep the rain out, it looks great. When I wore it to work for the first time, I got comments about how cute it looks. I love this hat!
John in KY - 2006-03-26Great hat!
