Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Sunbriolet Sun Hat

Best quality sun hat I have ever purchased. Played golf in 96 degree heat and the hat kept me cool and safe from the sun.

great sun coverage, light and cool

The sunbriolet hat is my go for walks after work. Also purchased a swift hat in the same order which I wear for my cycling. I've wanted some "OR" gear for a few years. The function, purpose, light weight, and minimum company logo

I had to return the M and get an L, but the hat is great. Really nice to have such a wide brim.

I bought this in size M for my growing 8 year old, hoping it would last him many years. It's great quality and will hold up well, but it's a bit small for an adult M. Next time I'll buy a bigger size!

It's a little wide and flimsy but that also means it's light and packable. IT does the job well.

I had one of these hats before. Then misplaced it. The newer version of this hat is great. Excellent for wicking away sweat. And, of course, the coverage from the sun is great.

I bought this hat for Australia, and it did not disappoint! It kept my head dry and vision unobscured whilest watching the wombats feed at Cradle Mt., Tasmania during a freezing rainstorm! Rain beaded right up. And kept the hail away on Mt. Wellington. And it provided cooling shade in tropical Queensland. Adjustable headband and neck cord secured it on windy days. Imma fan.

Lightweight and easy to pack.

First ordered a medium (my head is small) and it was TIGHT. Returned and got the large which is perfect. Several reviews mention the binding/little strip of fabric that goes around the inside not being stitched down, so it flips out while wearing the hat. This is indeed the case and is annoying, but a couple of little stitches with a sewing kit fixed it. Now it is perfect. LOVE this hat. Lightweight and breathable. Definitely order up at least one size.

I have the same hat in a different color. But this one fits a little funny. The lining shows over the ears and it looks odd. Other than that, its a great hat.

Had a hat similar that was unfortunately discontinued. This one does not fit as large, so not as much room for an insulation layer underneath. Kill keep my head cool while out in the sun.

Happy with the hat overall. The inside liner sticks out and is visible from the front making me wear I'd solely for outdoor activities. I wish it would match the hat color and not stand out so much so I could wear is more fashionably!

I had a cheapo sunhat before this that was very hot. This hat is much cooler. The wide brim and longer back protect my face and neck perfectly. I took the chin strap off (which is nice to be able to do), because i mainly wear the hat on walks and hikes or when relaxing outside, so I don't really have any issues with it blowing off. I'm heavier set - not your typical lean outdoorsy type, and I think I have a slightly larger than average head (i wear a 7-3/8 fitted hat). The XL fits how i'd want it to. If the draw string isn't tightened at all, the hat stays on, but is nice and comfy - not too snug. if i tighten down the draw string, it is nice and snug and stays on in light wind etc. The headband inside the hat is really nice and comfortable. Style-wise, it is certainly fine for hikes etc, around town - i think it looks pretty good. Perhaps a little 'dad-hatty', but i'd rather throw on a sun hat quick, then put sun screen on my face and neck all the time... I bend it into 1/4 size shape to throw in my bag and the brim bounces back pretty good each time. Overall, i'm pretty happy with the hat. I functions and performs how i need it to.

Like the light weight and sun protection coverage. This is my second one. Don't put it in a cloths dryer!

The only company that makes a hat to fit my (big) head. The inner headband is loose and allows the hat to move around. The tensioner lock doesn't hold. Two things I can fix myself, I just don't like the fact that I have to.

This replaced one I lost in the lake. Disappointed in the color - every pic on the net shows "Mars" as RED. Most definitely RUST.

Not that happy with the color, I like the white or lighter color better but out of stock at the time, I re-order because i washed my first one and it didn't come through that very well, the brim was floppy

Perfect for kayaking on the lake and protect yourself from the sun. Large enough to shade your face and neck.

Great shade coverage. Super secure even in high wind. It could breathe better. It's great for a sunny day

Love it so fun and protective

The brim flaps up quite a bit in the wind. But all in all, good sun protection. It's a good hat for a good price

I use this hat working outside or just sitting around in the sun. The wide brim provides a ton of shade and the vents help keep your head cooler than other hats. My only complaint is that the brim was bent in the box upon delivery and it sticks up on the left side when wearing it, hence the 4 stars. This was my first time buying from Outdoor Research and will definitely be buying other products in the future.

I use this hat in a semi-arid grassland environment. Nice wide brim that keeps the sun off my neck, which is great! The brim is quite stiff though. Doesn't look quite as stylish as I had hoped. More of a safari type look :)

Great for sun protection and I like the hat a lot overall. However, it seems to run a bit small... even though I measured the circumference of my own head and bought corresponding size on the size chart, it is definitely SNUG.
