Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Seattle Sombrero

Great hat. I still have the one that I purchased in the mid-90's. My son was wearing it around and I decided that he needed his own. The new sombrero is true to the original and should hold up to all of the Alaskan adventures my son throws at it!!

Color wild, size right, keeps the rain off when you don't want to hood up.

Great hat, the design really keeps you dry

great fit, easy to adjust for my pony tail, very waterproof and, surprisingly, i really like the color.

Second one. Both my hunting partners bought one based on my first one.

I like this hat so much I gave it as a wedding present to a friend who is an avid adventurer. She loves it too! If you need a waterproof hat, look no further. I should have got a medium but I still wear it, a lot.

The great thing about this hat so far is being able to wear it in the rain AND wind and know it will keep my dry. Its maiden voyage - a walk on a grey, windy, rainy day by Lake Union, convinced me I had finally found the right had for the job

Simply the best rain hat. Understand rain, play in the rain, hike in the rain, and you'll discover the practical benefits this amazingly functional and effective hat offers. The hat also rocks with the wind because of the draw cord. Have fun

Great hat for the heavy rain days in the woods for work or hiking around defiantly will keep you dry

I use it as a rain hat; and wear it over my stocking hat during cold weather if it's raining or snowing

Folds up nicely and keeps its shape. It really keeps the rain off my head and neck. Well worth the price!

First time I used it was early one rainy morning sitting outside in my hot tub! Perfect and wasn't floppy so protected my shoulders too!

This hat is a tried and true champion of gear. Truly waterproof I have had it in all kinds of rain, snow, and sleet, the inside stays bone dry. My first impression when I put it on was the inner lining was super comfortable and the fit was exactly as listed online. I can see what some people are saying about it being warm in summer but I'm wearing it in December in Northern BC at -16 C wit her a light touque under it. My only audition I would add is a Rhe ability to have the back held up for when your driving or wearing a pack and a pocket for the string when you don't need/want it. These are small personal choices so I can't fault the product.

My wife & I have used these for years during out annual Alaskan fishing trips. Best rain hat you'll ever find!! This is my second as my 1st is over 12 years old. Not just an Ak fishing hat, I use it every time it rains/snows in the Northwest

it is just a great hat

Love it for walking in the rain in the Pacific Northwest. Stays put, keeps my face totally dry but does not impeded visibility. Sized up for thicker hair and more comfortable fit.

Used a few times so far and it is the bee's knees when using for the fall/winter/spring rainy season here in Seattle. Luckily since I've bought it, the major downpours have stopped so I haven't tested the hat in torrential rain quite yet but looking forward to testing this hat to it's limits. Kind of hot though so wouldn't advice for summer rain but if it's cool out. This hat is great.

Amazing hat for rain, and it's super fun and iconic to wear. my kids think the canoe can only go fast when i have the tabs of the hat velcroed up in "fast mode". there's just so many ways to wear this hat! your friends will all be amazed when you walk into a room with this hat on and quickly demonstrate just how many ways you can wear this piece of haute fashion!

Always looking rad in a hat like this!

I purchased this hat at the beginning of the summer in preparation for a backpacking and sea kayaking trip in Alaska. Prior to the trip I only used it briefly during a couple of short hikes and didn't get a sense of how well it would perform in heavy rain conditions. However when I arrived in Alaska for a two week coastal backpacking and sea kayaking trip it became a permanent fixture on my head. It is comfortable in heavy to light rain conditions and hold its shape to shed water outside your coat. Once you get the sizing strap adjusted its a very comfortable fit.

My husbands had this hat for years and has liked it so much we got one for me too! Great hat for the river. Because of the lining, it gets warm on hot days, but other than that, it's a great hat!

At the range on rainy days this hat is a champ. While training it began to pour. Felt comfortable and dry in this hat with no issues.

I have tried many types of this hat and found this to be the best one ever! It fits nicely, is stylish and is very cool even in hot weather. I am a repeat customer

The adjustable chin strap is fantastic and works really well to keep the hat on in windy conditions. It's a great colour and looks just like the picture. Works great in both rain and shine, so your covered for all you adventures! Very breathable which is great for hot days.

It's my favorite hat for sun protection
