Great Hat, even makes me look good!
January 16, 2007
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.
what a way to get out of the rain
January 03, 2007
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.
Great 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.
Good hat for the rain
December 21, 2006
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.
This 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.
Great 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.
A wonder hat
November 12, 2006
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.
Not What I Wanted!
October 07, 2006
The hat looked "cool" in the photo and with the possibility of velcroing up the side of the brim it was "less geeky." However, the crown of the hat is always wrinkly and collapsed and despite its great gore tex water proof material, it looks simply awful. I carried it all over Europe for the past 25 days and luckily it never rained once.
Excellent !

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.
Great Hat

The construction is great, and lightweight for all activities.
GREAT HEADWEAR
September 18, 2006
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.
Excellent

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!
Great hat but stitching quality was below average
September 08, 2006
I just took this hat on a week long elk hunt and it performed excellently during 5 days of periodic rainfall. My only gripe is that the stitching on the hat was less than average when I received it; I had to cut some loose threads and tuck some others back into the seam from fear of the stitching coming loose. Overall, it's a great hat though and I would highly recommend it.
Perfect fit and usage
August 12, 2006
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.
Great Cover Sports Fans
August 05, 2006

Great 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
OR 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!

Outdoor Research: Seattle Sombrero is very good looks and the best of all in any weather.
The legendary Sombrero
May 16, 2006
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.
Best single piece of out door equipment I own
May 15, 2006
This is my 4th OR Seattle Sombrero and it will not be my last.
Couldn't be without it
May 05, 2006
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
I finally broke down and bought one.
May 01, 2006
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.
Great for spring skiing - hot for summer
April 29, 2006
Wide brim for shade, but no vent holes or flaps.
Glad I Bought This One!
April 04, 2006
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!
Great hat!
March 26, 2006
Having lost my boonie hat from not-so-sunny Southeast Asia a long time ago, I've always tried to find something to match it. The sombrero actually provides more protection from the rain because it's got a larger brim than the jungle boonie hat I was issued. I bought an XL but should probably switch to an L because the band is adjustable. I tried on an L at a local store and it fits fine. You should be able to adjust the band to accomodate and even larger than a 7 5/8ths, which is my size. Beats a hood because it keeps the rain out of your eyes and off your face.
Great Hat

I love the adjustable headband and the fact it is waterproof. Excellent product for the great outdoors.
Super prize winning hat!
February 11, 2006
The alcolades earned by this hat were deserved. Bought one for my daughter that was confiscated by my husband. Bought another for my daughter then one for my sister, one for myself. And I am about to buy one for another sister. These hats work well and look good on all generations. The flexible fit band is also helpful.
Terrific Hat
February 01, 2006
As usual, outdoor research really pays attention to detail. Not only is this hat waterproof, but it has an adjustable band to customize the fit, velcro tabs to hold the side-flaps in place (Aussie look), and the chin strap with cord lock will keep the head-gear in place in the strongest of gales. In addition, the quality of workmanship and styling in exceptional.
worn it almost every day
January 27, 2006
I work outside and this hat is great. No wet head. No rivets digging into the side of my head like some hats I've bought. Really nice brim size with especially nice slope in the back to keep the rain running off my head and onto the ground instead of off my head and down my back! And the tie sinches up real nice in the back to keep the hat on even in the wind. I'm going to buy one for my partner who also works outside now that I've test flown it and found it to be excellent.
Pretty Darn Perfect
January 23, 2006
This hat is lightweight, waterproof, windproof, way easy to pack, just plain super functional. Yea, it is pricey, but it is worth it. Pretty perfect outdoor hat. It is a little funny looking so buy it for function not fashion, you will not be disappointed.
great looking hat on for women
January 18, 2006
I will be using the hat for an upcoming trip to Africa, the sizing chart accurate, fits perfect, looks great, well made, arrived 3 days after I ordered
New and Improved
January 15, 2006
This is my second OR Sombrero. To my surprise there is now an internal velcro band. This allows the owner to make the fit perfect. Ordinarily I would give the hat 5 stars but the new hat has a cosmetic flaw. The hat is black but has what looks like white specks around the stitching. On closer inspection it appears the white specks are the materials actual color showing throguh where the needle stitched. A noticeable flaw but does not appear to be a functional issue.
Good Hat
January 07, 2006
I like all outdoor research products that I have. This hat has an excellent fit, good looks, and most of all, it is waterproof. I bought it for kayaking.
I love it !
January 05, 2006
Purchased to accompany me to the Peruvian Amazon in April. Appears to be perfect for the task. Will send pics and comments on return.
Solid Hat
January 04, 2006
Works well against rain, snow, and high winds. Brim wide enough for protection against sun, & side velcro straps very convenient.
Keep Dry
December 31, 2005
My husband has had a Seattle Sombrero for many years. The one that he had previously was basically falling apart he used it so much over the course of about 14 years. He asked for one thing for Christmas and that was a NEW Seattle Sombrero so thats what he got and he still didn't retire the 'old' hat. Definately worth the money and then some!!!!
