Canyon hat
I bought my wife this hat for our Grand Canyon trip. It fits and looks good and seems to have a lightweight, durable, breathable quality. My wife is a petite person and the small size hat fit snuggly without being too tight. She likes the look and color. The chin string provides an added benefit by securing the hat in case of high winds or for allowing the hat to hang on her back when not wearing it. Lastly, the adjustable strap for the head sizing is great to allow a variety of fitments for sizing.

perfect hat
I purchased the Misto Sombrero for my wife as a gift. She absolutely loves it, and has commented on the great style, comfort, light weight, neck strap, and adjustable head band size. She has not been caught in a shower yet, but the fact that it's GoreTex and should shed rain well - but still breathe is a real positive.

Great hat
Really great hat and loved it. Good coverage from the weather and even better that it's water repelling. Light weight and hat fits comfortably. Worth every penny.

Loving the Misto Sombrero Hat!
My Hat arrived quickly and in no time I had a wonderful waterproof hat that protects me here in the Pacific NW from the constant rain. The hat fits great and keeps the rain from getting me all wet. I would give my highest mark to the rating system! The quality is grand. I really like the brim that is very sturdy, perfect size and keeps its shape.

Good Service, Nice hat
I was pleasantly surprised when my hat arrived much sooner than expected. I’m happy with my Misto Sombrero rain hat that replaces the one that blew away; I choose one with a chin strap this time.
The size felt smaller than I expected as my number (22”) was ¼ inch less than the medium size (22 ¼). I wondered if I should exchange it and decided that the next size up might be too large and did not want to go thru the hassle and be without a rain hat. I’d be careful with measuring and size when buying; perhaps talking to a customer rep might help.
I've not worn it long enough to rate durability, yet the quality looks good enough to last.

Great hat for PacNW
I got this hat since I have a few nice jackets that don't have a hood or the hoods just don't work to keep me dry. The pacific NW (seattle area) is windy and rainy a good part of the year and this hat so far has been great. It is adjustable to fit even a smaller size head like mine. It is stylish and my hair looks ok after I remove it since it doesn't make my head sweat like a hood tends to do. The chin strap helps it stay on even in the high winds we get up here. I recommend this to anyone. Plus the shipping was super fast from this company.

Breathable and waterproof
Great hat. Breathable and waterproof made with exceptional quality. Size feels true and is extremely important for a hat as opposed to offerings from other companies. Definitely recommended.

Perfection, Rain or Shine!
I completely love this hat. I've been looking for something like this to wear on drizzly days walking the dog and for an upcoming beach trip. The chin strap makes it perfect for breezy beaches, sunshine and even (hopefully not) rain. This was also my first purchase from Altrec and I'm 5 Star pleased! Great experience!

Great all-purpose hat.
I wear this hat every day to go running and I love it. It is sturdy and well-made but it is still lightweight. It has a fleece-type lining. Where I live it is quite windy so the chin strap is very handy and I was pleasantly surprised by the additional cinch-down feature on the upper back of the hat. This stays on while I run in gusty winds. And when it starts to rain occasionally I'm covered. The colors are great and neutral- I got carbon. I got a medium and it seems to run true to size. It has a nice wide brim for sun protection. Very pleased with this hat and I will buy it again.

Good buy
This hat was a little hot, but over all a good buy. Offered great sun protection and stayed in place during moderate wind. Haven't gotten rained on yet, but I'm pretty confident this bad boy will hold up just fine!

Thick Hat
Bought this for a friend, it has a feminine look and the gore-tex kept her head dry even in a huge storm. However note that it is too thick to double up as a sun hat, your head will get cooked. Size small is fine for heads measuring 21.25", go up one size if yours is 21.5" and above else the part where the chin cord is attached to the hat will be uncomfortable against your head/temples.

Comfortable and Stylish
The sombrero is very comfortable and looks very stylish. It is exactly what I needed for this summer when I am watching my kids sporting events.

Substantial construction
Solid build, not flimsy, floppy. Sizing is right on. If you want it a bit loose, purchase size larger. neck strap is well designed and definitely will hold hat on head. A good buy!

nice feminine look
bought this hat for a friend. the rounded shape gives it a more feminine look than the other water-proof hats around. very stylish even for city use. also can't go wrong with gore-tex. but note that the "lump" where the chin cord attach to the hat might get a bit uncomfy if the hat is tight. if your size is near to the next size up, might be a good idea to go for the bigger one. best to try it at stores before ordering.

Too hot!
The Misto is attractive, well made, a nice neutral color and fits well. My only problem with it is that I live in muggy New England, and my head gets too hot.

I bought this hat for many outdoor activities, including chaperoning trips with my students. It is wonderful. It has a nice wide brim and keeps my face, and more importantly, my glasses dry. One of my students commented on how it was so cool, like "an umbrella on your head!"

Just what I wanted!
I am buying gear for my summer (in stages) on the Appalachian Trail. This provides sun shade, and is waterproof. Then there is the fact that it is my favorite shade of pink, What more could an AT hiker want? Nothing, it is just what I wanted.

I am purchasing another!
I just wore the hat for 2 hours in the rain for the first time. Not a drop of a water on my head. It solved the problem I have been having where rain was mysteriously getting in around the hood on my raincoats.

Great Product!
I bought this for my gf before a trip to tropical island. It provides great protections against rains and sun, and she likes the design very much! A great product that I'll definitely recommend to everyone.
