dark-haired lady - 2009-06-25Very pretty and works well!
I bought the white version of this hat -- it's attractive, lightweight, and feels good to wear. The chin strap is secure. I wear this walking to and from work, as well as on a long car trip once -- my face was protected from the sun, but the brim wasn't SO wide that it interfered with visibility while driving. It also keeps your head feeling cool and not too sweaty/confined underneath the hat.

The Solar Roller is very light weight, has an attractive brim and adjustable sizing. Seemes like it will protect from a light mist or drizzle too. The flower is a nice touch. It will go kayaking and birding with me.

Light weight, adjustable fit, reasonable coverage. I thought it would cover my neck a bit better, but still good. Great for hiking but don't give up that sunscreen!

Mary in NJ - 2009-05-18Love this hat
I owned one of these for several years until I accidentally left it on the beach. When I got home I ordered two in different colors so I would never have to do without again. It's light but sturdy, dries off quickly, retains its shape, easily adjustable, nice colors packable. Simply the best I've found. Plus I like the little flower.
Anonymous - 2009-05-17comfortable and light
Great hat -- I like mine so much that I bought one for all the sun-shy women in my family.
One thing to note, the "flame" color looks mauve on my computer screen so I was surprised to open the box and find it bright red!
Sonya Gartner - 2009-05-07Great sun-hat for women.
Light-weight, cool, and comfortable. It looks more feminine that any other sun-hat that I've tried. I look forward to kayaking and sun-bathing this summer with it to protect my face.
Anonymous - 2009-04-28Mom loves it!
I bought this for my mom to wear on her daily walks. At first she thought the brim was too big, but now she thinks it's just the right size, with the right coverage. It's hard for her to find a hat that fits. Most hats, even women-specific ones are too big. Kid ones are too small. We ordered the size small. That, along with the bungee cord adjustment provides a good fit. I only wish that this came in a better neutral color. I see that white becoming dingy very quickly.
Carolg - 2009-04-13Love it !!!
I bought this hat for a trip to the Caribbean. The hat gave great sun protection for my face and neck, it's light weight, packs great, and the chin strap came in very handy when sailing.
Rene - 2008-06-30Perfect for the XL Head
Searched for an XL hat for a long time. This fits and is a great hat.
Erin - 2008-03-05Cute and functional!
I am not usually a hat person, but a trip to Central America necessitates the use of head covering. This hat looks great, packs well *and* has UPF protection. I would definitely recommend this hat for those looking for an attractive, reasonably-priced hat for travel.
Bonnie Shannon-Moore - 2007-11-14Hawaiian Bliss!!
Living in Hawaii, I was looking for a lightweight hat that covered my face. To my pleasant surprise the Solar Roller Hat met and exceeded my expectations. The service was excellent. I will use Altrec again.
Brigitte Saunders - 2007-08-26GREAT HAT!!!
This hat was perfect for my day at Great Adventures. It stayed on during the rides and protected me from the heat and kept me cool. I'll be ordering some as Christmas gifts based on all the compiments I received.
Joan R Kvitka - 2007-07-05Goes Everywhere
The perfect hat. I have never been so prepared for walking with UV protection. The hat folds up and fits in a pocket or ties to my purse. Cute, comfortable and practical rolled into one great sun hat.
Celeste and Peyton - 2006-08-15Mother & Daughter, two thumbs up!
I bought two of these in different colors initially for myself, but my six year old daughter, who HATES to wear hats, loved the Orchid colored one so much she's claimed it as her own. A happy situation since now I don't need to plead for her to wear a hat to help keep those freckles (though adorable!) in check. Interestingly, the same size hat fits us both well thanks to the easily adjustable external draw cord. We've worn them in the pool and through oppressively hot days at amusement parks (...the chin strap keeps them on even through roller coasters) and we feel so thankful for the lightweight fabric and shade from the wide brim. It's so easy to pack completely flat, yet the brim's flexibility quickly takes on a flattering gentle wave shape once on...the embroidered flower is also a pretty accent. My only suggestion for improvement would be to make the mesh headband (which is currently black) the same color as the underbrim fabric (more of a khaki) so that it is less visible. Otherwise, I'll be buying yet another one for my mom, and thanks for a great product!
Laura - 2006-07-24Lightweight, broad brim, packable
Great, lightweight fabric, packs and crushes but regains sharp shape. Good for exercise and otherwise.
Dinah Jordan - 2006-07-08great
great hat, great fit, great look,
light weight, looks more expensive that it was.
Would diffently buy another should I miss place this one.
Great for traveling.
Anonymous - 2006-07-02Solar Roller Hat
Bought this for a trip I took recently. The hat packed well into a duffel bag and was great for keeping my face out of the sun. The strap underneath the chin was very helpful since many of the places we were in were very windy. GREAT HAT!
Courtney - 2006-06-29Very nice hat
I would highly recommend this hat.
Jo Hittner - 2006-06-24Great hat
I plan to use the hat for hiking in Bryce Canyon. I tried it out in hot, windy conditions and it did what I wanted it to do: stay on, shield the sun and keep my head cool!
Carolyn Wax - 2006-05-08Love this hat
Fits comfortably. Big wide brim protects the face in our hot Charleston climate. Breathable enough for kayaking.
M. Harman - 2006-05-02Worth buying two
I like the first hat so much, that I bought another one to keep in my travel tote. I don't want to be without one when I venture forth. This hat is lightweight but very adjustable and functional. The brim is very wide to keep the rays off of your face. And I like the tie under the chin and headband adjustment for securie fit. Just about as good as hats get.
Anonymous - 2006-04-21A wonderful hat!
This is a perfect sun hat. It's light, capacious, secure (thanks to the adjustable cord), colorful, and the brim is wide enough to really block the sun without impeding the wearer's vision. It is easily packed and washed--all sun hat needs met.
Kate - 2006-04-17Great hat!
This hat is lightweight and adjustable to make a very snug and comfy fit. I wore it out kayaking this past weekend and not only does it protect from the sun, it also dries really fast if you get it wet. The chin strap adjustor kept it from blowing off in a gusty offshore wind. Highly recommended.
Jeongkwan Lee - 2006-04-03Consider it? Buy it!
This is a wonderful hat. I bought it for my mom's short trip. I and my father focus on the technical quilities more than on its shape, but she is different. However, she was compltely satisfied with its shape and performance. The hat is one of her favorites. Are you looking for a gift for your girlfriend or mother? Buy it!
MARY ANN - 2005-12-31LOVE IT
THIS IS A WELLMADE HAT, IT FITS WELL DUE TO THE ADJUSABLE CORD AND PROVIDES LOTS OF SUN PROTECTION. I GAVE ONE TO MY SISTER FOR CHRISTMAS, AND GAVE LOTS OF HINTS TO MY DAUGHTERS THAT I WANTED ONE TOO (I GUESS SOME SIGNALS ARE NOT AS STRONG AS THEY SHOULD BE). MY PLAN IS TO HINT AGAIN IN MARCH FOR MY BIRTHDAY, OTHERWISE I'LL BE BUYING ONE FOR MYSELF.
Mary Alice Bond - 2005-09-11Love this hat
As a PE Teacher this hat gets two thumbs up. Even my students like the looks of the hat. It is light weight and very comfortable. It is easy to wear and to carry by rolling it up and putting it in a pocket. I bought for protection from the sun and it was less expensive than other brands. I love it!
JC Yang - 2008-04-20Cute hat for light activities in the sun, not the rain
I expect this hat will be most useful at the beach, ballpark, etc. and for light trail hiking. The two-cord adjustability is a great plus for securing fit against winds. Rolls and retains shape well. Keep in mind that this is a sun hat, not a rain hat. It held up okay during an initial drizzle, but the rain soaked through to the top of my head soon after. But then, OR doesn't claim to offer wet weather protection in this hat model; it's only for sun and wind and those things it does well enough.
Lynn Humphrey - 2008-04-11Nice looking, cool, and a sturdy brim
I bought this to use as a convertible-driving hat. The brim having the extra sturdiness of foam is a great benefit to help it protect against sunburn in the air turbulence of top-down driving. The strap keeps it firmly in place, also. The fact that is cooler than many other hats I've tried & looks nice are just great extras!
Kristen - 2007-05-20Protective, but doesn't breathe well.
I bought this hat to use while running to keep the sun off my face and neck. It does a great job blocking the sun, and does breathe well.
Magali Medina - 2008-08-13Good hat for the price, rim pushed me to reject
The hat is light, provides UVA/B protection, comes in great color combos and is reasonably priced. XL is hard to find and I have anothber from this mfg. but returned this one as I felt the rim was too stiff and would not hold up to being rolled up well.
