Great hat!
Loved the fact that it comes in different sizes since I seem to have a bigger than average noggin. Kept the sun off while not building up heat on my head and with the Wyoming wind the strap was perfect and easy to use.

5 Stars Wind River Ron - 2009-06-26

Perfect hat
This is the 6th hat from OR that I have purchased over the years. Best one yet, cool, light weight, covers ears and neck, brim is better in the wind than most It doesn't interfere with my backpack.

Is this Handy? - Yes - No

5 Stars Cyril Velasquez - 2009-06-20

Excellent Sun Hat
I found that OR's Sombriolet Sun Hat met all the qualifications for a good hat to wear in the sun. It provides ample shade from the sun from all angles; I wear a large size and the brim measures 3.25" on the front and sides, 4.5" on the back. The mesh opening ventilates very well, allowing sweat to dry on long, sunny hikes. It fits comfortably; the rim reaches to my eyebrows and top of ear tips, whereas OR's Seattle and Coastal Sombreros sat uneasily an inch above my brows. While the brim holds its flat shape, the crown of the hat is supple on the outside material as well as for the inner mesh. I really enjoy using this hat for my long summer hikes as well as when I'm outside during work.

5 Stars Big Bob - 2009-06-20

Fantastic Hat
Three days of fishing in the Everglades and great protection from the sun. Bald head with no sunburn. Never even offered to lift off my head at 42 MPH on a flats boat. I'll never fish without it on my head. The venting system was cool at 90 degrees and no perspiration in my eyes.

5 Stars Pearson - 2009-06-05

We like our hats
Bought hats for both my wife and myself for yard work and boating activities. They are light, vented and do a great job at keeping the sun out. If you are looking for a great sun hat, then this is the one you want.

Another great hat!
Well, I'm off and running! My first hat was the Nimbus Sombrero and I loved it. We've had lots of rain this spring in the mid-Atlantic states and this hat has kept me dry. I liked it so much I decided to buy a Sombriolet Sun Hat for myself and a Women's Oasis Sombrero for my girl. We're planning a trip to Texas soon and we need that sun protection. Both hats have the same quality as the Nimbus Sombrero. We are very impressed!

Function and Style
Great hat!! Utilize this hat for all my coaching needs. It's like a stetson on the pitch. Keeps my noggin cool and the sun off my face and neck. The hat keeps it's shape w/ the brim piping, but any winds over 20+ and the brim is flopping a bit.

5 Stars Peru Bound - 2009-03-10

So far so good
I bought two of these hats for our upcoming trip to Peru. Not having any experience in buying these types of hats I was relying on the description provided and the reviews. I must say that so far I am not disappointed! The sizing chart was accurate and fit the two of us perfectly. The hats are light weight and easily stored in our backpacks, or hanging on the outside of the packs. The brim covers both our face and the back of our necks. Can't wait to get them to Machu Picchu.

A Terrific Sun Hat!
I spent a lot of time reading reviews of various hats before buying Sombriolets for my husband and myself. I wasn't sure it was going to fit me because the stated measurement was larger than my head, but the fact that I could adjust it, made it perfect -- and easy to separate my hat from my husband's, because mine had been cinched smaller and we could both see that when they were hanging on the hooks on the door. We were in the Galapagos where it was very warm and humid and this hat was terrific -- much cooler than the normal baseball style caps we enjoy wearing in cooler weather. I can't find a single negative comment about the hat -- it's well worth the money and does everything that is described.

5 Stars Tina - 2008-09-15

Functional and Comfortable
This hat is very useful. It keeps the face and neck protected without getting in the way of your vision or movement. It stays on in a somewhat brisk wind. It keeps the head cool and dry and is overall comfortable (a big improvement over other hats I've owned). It also packs well.

5 Stars Sandra Stearns - 2008-08-23

Love my Sombriolet !
I love this hat...it is just as described...light, airy, brim doesn't obscure your vision and I especially love that I can adjust size. For a lady your hat size changes depending upon your hairstyle for the day...just cinch it down or open it up. I only use chin strap on really windy days.

Excellent ventilation and durable construction
Outdoor Research manufactures great products and the Sombriolet Sun Hat exemplifies their standards. The hat has great ventilation and construction. Easy to care and wash. Wide brim offers great sun protection. Good looking and comfortable.

Is this Handy? - Yes - No

5 Stars CM - 2008-06-06

Great Hat
I use this hat for sailing (both racing/cruising). Great for keeping sun off face, neck & ears. Brim doesn't stay real well in good winds, but still better than ball cap. Also, I wouldn't want to wear a heavier duty hat to deal with the wind since it would be heavier and hot. Stay cool, stay in the shade, pack it, whatever. Also comes in real people sizes. Works ok to keep light rain out of your eyes as well.

4 Stars John Velez - 2009-06-19

Another good
Of the three "OR" hats its my least favorite, still a great hat but the brim of the hat is a little too big for daily use. I like my Helios better for summer use.

3 Stars florida kayaker - 2009-04-16

great for calm conditions
I bought this as a kayaking hat, mainly for sun protection. In the wind the brim blows up and therefore does not shield your face from the sun. I will continue to use it until I find a better solution. Fit, quality and packability is all excellent.

Is this Handy? - Yes - No
