Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Seattle Sombrero

Brim keeps rain off of face and neck. Gore Tex keeps hat from becoming a soggy mess.

I thought that the Seattle Sombrero had been renamed but this is a different hat. There is no headband structure incorporated in this hat. While the Gore-Tex does what it's supposed to, and the brim is nice, the fit and wear is like putting a bag on the top of your head and holding it there with a chin strap.

This hat is good for rain or sun. It lives in my Jeep always ready to go!

Feels good. You could add more comfort with a velcro or string tightener around the head. Im not quite a large size, and not medium. Pretty pricey for a bit of a sloppy fit.

Review on the email won't work. Good hat. Fire IT person that makes reviews as you cannot fill out form. Good hat. Crappy online review. That is my review. Stop bothering me.

Received my new hat just in time to take hiking on a rainy day! Worked perfect and kept my head nice and dry!

I had my O.R. rain hat (blue with black trim) for 30 years and used it all the time here in wet Western Washington...until my car was stolen and my "Seattle Sombrero" along with it. The car was recovered, somewhat worse for wear, but all contents, including my rain hat, were gone. My hat was purchased at a different well-known outdoor gear store, but they are no longer stocking the brand. So, I intend to purchase the replacement from the manufacturer. I expect my new hat to last at least as long as the one I lost.

Great looking hat with the waterproof status.

I agree 100% with the earlier reviewer regarding OR's unfortunate decision to eliminate the Velcro adjustment strap. This would have been my third Seattle Sombrero (Rain Hat) however I had to return it ($6.95 shipping) because I can no longer fine tune the size. Otherwise, it is a 5-star hat if your head is a specific size.

I've worn this a couple of times already and really like it. I like how it fits - not too loose or tight - and love that you can secure it with the strings that hang in front (it's currently pretty windy here so definitely need to use that feature). It doesn't make my head too warm. The size of the brim is great for keeping the sun off my face. I love that you can velcro the sides up as needed. And best of all it's goretex so when I hike in the rain my head should stay dry.

Great hat - warm and weatherproof. So much better than having to wear a hood!

These my the number one head gear. I have had several of them for decades and give them out as gifts I use them for work and recreation. I've used mine all over the world. I've used them to hike and climb in all conditions. They have a wide brim and complete 360 visibility. Thank you

Stop giving in to others' political narratives! Bring back the official name of this legendary hat: SEATTLE SOMBRERO. Long live the SEATTLE SOMBRERO!

My new hat is terrific! I like the color as well as the generous fit, which allows me to wear a stretchy black hat under it, covering my ears. And the brim is awesome - wide and super protective. My glasses are not spotted with rain! Thank you!

I wear a 7 and 3/4 size hat and normally have trouble getting a hat that fits. This one fits perfectly over my head/hair (female). Great for golf when it is raining because the brim is wide enough that it doesn't drip on your grip when you address the ball, or run down your back when you lean over.

BRING BACK THE OLD NAME!!! I LOVE this hat and don't appreciate the recent name change. You have to be kidding me! This has been and always will be the SEATTTLE SOMBRERO. Very disappointed in what I'm certain was a reactionary decision.

Great hat, I love it so much I got one for my dad. Bring Back the original name!!!!

My dad had one of these when I was a kid and I always loved it, but it was too big for my tiny head. The small size fits my tiny head and is very snuggly with the soft inside, but not too hot and works in the summer too. I especially like that the Velcro strips can make it into a cowboy hat, a pirate hat, or a musketeer hat and that it blocks the rain so well. It is great for adventures in the wild outback!!!

We love these rain hats so much we have three. They stand up well to even our torrential downpours in southeast Alaska. The brim is wide enough to give you solid protection even in moderate wind. Definitely worth the money.

This is a great hat that does just about anywhere. Works amazing on those cooler rainy days or just to keep the sun off.

This hat is heavy on the head and too hot. It is not breathable. I also feel stuffy underneath then my head gets sweaty shortly after wearing it. I now just hang it in the garage and will donate this to a homeless person soon. It does not have any method to secure it snugly on the circumference of the head so it can fall off or fly off any time by wind or gusts.

The hat is functional and repels water. The only thing that would make it great is adjustable fit. It is either too big or too small. When were it droops over the ears.
