Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Helios Sun Hat

This is a very nice hat. It looks very well made and to be of very good quality. The attention to the little details on it is amazing. If it helps at all for sizing I measured my head and it's about 22 inches and a quarter of an inch in circumference so I ordered the medium size and it fits perfectly. I'm looking forward to rocking this bad boy in the summer!

Sun proof! Cute too.

Bought these for my kids- so far so good with beach, hiking, and kayaking.

Great fit, excellent sun protection, stands up well to use and abuse and, if I do say so, quite stylish. Definitely a recommended buy.

OR changed the way the chin strap is fastened to the hat. Thank you! Love it.

This hat is great ! Fits well. The brim has the exact right stiffness so as not to flop around. Protects from the sun and, after wetting with cold water, helps keep me cool on a hot summer day while working. When it gets dirty, very easy to wash, rinse and dry. Truly one of the best things I've purchased from Zappos!

I am just buying a new Helios today, I have use this hat constantly in the Australian Outback as a Park Ranger for 6 years and it was of no surprise when it finally ripped today after more than a 1000 days on my head. I like that it is washable and stays on my head in high winds, you can squash it into a pack and it returns to shape. Working in the Outback for 30 years I've owned heaps of hats including the venerable Australian Akubra which is hot, sweaty and overrated for sure. maybe I'll buy two Helios...

This hat is the perfect size for me. The brim is big enough to keep sun off my ears and neck but not so big that it gets in the way.

The Helios Sun hat, does it's Job!great coverage for your head and neck and with the drawstring attachment stays on your head. Great product!

This is my 3rd Helios hat. Wear every day , Beach and dog walking. I have skin issues from sun exposure. This protects me and allows me to be outside without fear..

The Helios sun hats are great, and this is my second purchase. They're very lightweight and offer good protection from the sun. I use them primarily for water sports such as paddleboarding and kayaking since they dry quickly.

This is a "must have" purchase. Lightweight, dried quickly, doesnt smell musty or stay damp. Offers great protection from the sun

Bought this for a week long trip to the Great Sand Dunes in CO in July. It was hot but this hat kept me cool. I like the brim is not too big but big enough to shade my face and neck. It rolls up and packs neatly but keeps it's shape when unpacked. Nice and light weight so you forget it's on. Overall, I'm very happy with it.

At the beach or just bbq'ing in the backyard, this hat is stylish and ideal for keeping those sun rays off your head.

Good product

my favorite hat

Purchased this hat to wear casually, at work, and working around the house. The fabric is light and breathable allowing some heat to escape. The brim is wide enough to protect my ears and nose from the damaging summer sun.

great fit! only hat i could find for my giant head. very swag. love wearing it at the pool. cheers!

I love the Helios Sun Hats!! They are the best! I think I have five now. I hike, do yard work and even play tennis with them. It's great that they come in multiple sizes and are still adjustable. Most importantly, they really protect my big ole bald head from the sun!! These are the best hats I've found after years or searching!!

The size isn't good (I'm between an L and an XL) but the chin strap keeps it from falling off. Very lightweight and comfortable, good protection from the summer sun on my face and neck.

The hat is light and comfortable to wear. Fits a bit on the large size but not enough to fall off. Great coverage for the sun when out in the Kayak. Highly recommend this hat.

This hat is light and gives a ton of coverage. It's my go-to year round. Highly recommend!

It meets all my expectations for a hat of this type.
