Customer Reviews Columbia Global Adventure™ Packable Hat

I haven't really used extensively nor do i plan on packing it but it's very lovely shape and color. I'm looking forward to using on vacation to protect against the sun!

I love this hat, I have it in 3 colors. My friend said it looked a little too "garden party," but she doesn't know hats. Wide brims help protect from sun damage, garden party or not!

Super cute, does the job of shading your entire face and is really comfortable.

This is my third purchase of the same product and yes I will buy again. I'm always ask where I got my hat and receive compliments almost with every wear. The style is very classy with jeans or dress-up. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Beautiful and functional hat. Great for boating so you don't lose your hat.

I love this hat so much. It is not too floppy and still looks stylish. It is perfect to keep your face and shoulders covered. I will definitely be purchasing more of these hats in different colors.

My mom now owns two of these hats in different colors, and she bought them for two of her sisters, too! My mother has very sensitive skin. She has always had to take extra precaution when she's in the sun, otherwise she will get heat rashes. Now that she is retired and traveling the world, it dampens the excitement whenever she has to deal with the discomfort caused by her UV sensitivity. This hat has changed all that (in addition with her other Columbia UPF gear). It provides her the protection she needs, and she loves the look and fit! Thank you, Columbia!

I was looking for a hat I could wear at summer events like BBQs and festivals (and look cute), but also use while hiking, or in the garden. This hat works great for both! My head measures 22" and the S/M fits great.

This hat is stylish and comfortable: perfect not just for your day at the lake, but also for everyday outdoor activities. The brim is not too big, meaning you can still see all around you without having to lift the brim. The heavy duty chin strap helps keep the hat on even on the windiest days or when chasing kids around the yard. My hat had a few stray threads on the top of the brim which only looked messy until I cut them- did not affect function in any way. Great hat. Wish I had one in every color.

Love this hat! Color is great. I got the nocturnal which is a pretty shade of deep blue. Nice and big brim to help with sun shade. I wish they sold hats in just a size S as the S/M is a little big for me.

I purchased this hat about 4 years ago for a beach trip. I have worn it endlessly since then and love the sun protection that I get from it. The hat is fashionable, functional and it breathes better than many other hats I've tried. The color has faded in the Colorado sun and what used to be a light olive green is now more khaki, but the hat is otherwise in good shape. As others have mentioned, the dome of the hat will get crushed with travel, but I have reshaped it multiple times by wetting it and shaping it on a metal bowl, then letting it dry. Water does not destroy it, at least the one I purchased, as I have gotten it wet many times and it has not disintegrated. I purchased the bigger size more for comfort and less hair squishing. I would definitely purchase this hat again, but I hope that the current models hold up like the old one did.

Looking forward to using this hat when we take the grandkids to Disney World in August. Trying to be prepared so that we can enjoy all the fun despite the heat. Size is perfect. Style is just what I was looking for. Very sturdy, nice quality.

Very nice and practical hat. Feel like a queen when you are hiking.

It looks great! It does a good job keeping the sun off my face. It's comfortable and practical. Very versatile from hiking on a windy rainy day to spending the day at the beach. It travels well. I've pack it flat in my suitcase several times and when I take it out it goes right back into place. I bought it in a size large. I haven't tried washing it yet.

This hat is beautiful and very feminine. I am taking it vacation and can't wait to wear it. I really wanted it for is UPF protection. My only complaint would be that it does not have a sweat band around the inside of the rim. I wear hats all summer to protect from the sun and that is a nice little extra I would love to see added to this otherwise awesome hat.

Just ordered the wine berry color for a trip to Disney with my grands and I love it! I've been wearing the straw colored version while gardening, hiking, and birding for several years. The wide brim keeps the sun out of my eyes and the chin strap keeps it from blowing off my head. It fits my large head perfectly and the sweatband does it's job in the NY heat and humidity. A great functional, yet attractive, addition to my wardrobe.

GREAT hat! Good looking and functional. I looked four a long time and returned quite a few hats before finding this one. You won't lose it - just use the chin strap. Enjoy ??

This hat is very comfortable and functional. The brim is the perfect size to completely shade the face.

Fits my needs & price point perfectly.

Great casual shade hat. Wore it most of the day and head did not get too hot. It looks awesome on, especially with sunglasses. Had my 87 yr. old mom with me and she needed to shade her head so I put it on her. She looked soooooo good! Trying to fine one in the right size for her.

I have this hat in another color already and love. However this one was shipped in an envelope. It has been several days and I have still not been able to get the kinks out. So I am returning it. Thumbs down on packaging to Amazon. If it had shipped in a box so it was undamaged, I would have kept it.

I love this hat and the color is beautiful! Hats usually run small on me and the L/XL fit perfectly and I can wear it without messing up my hair when I take it off. There's also a really pretty leather detail on the hat as well. The material is high quality. I definitely recommend this hat.

I love that this hat is comfortable, functional, and stylish. Great to throw in a bag and go.

I have had melanoma removed from the top of my scalp. So it's important to wear a hat....and I'm always looking For something stylish and this fits the bill perfectly, I actually need to purchase another!

I love hats special this one because has uv protection also doesn't wrinkle. I love to travel so this hats works perfectly for me:)
