Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Seattle Rain Hat

My Father had and Old Seattle Sombrero from years ago I was always pleased with the hat so I purchased one for myself. Love the water proof aspect.

I lost my old O/R Seattle Sombrero (I think that's what it was called back than) on a motorcycle trip this year and was bummed out. I had my old hat for 25 years! New one seems just as well made with one feature missing. You could snug up the head band, not a big issue with the new hat. I give this hat 5 stars! If you are looking for a rain hat you will not be disappointed with this hat.

Comfortable fit, and great for cooler temperatures due to the fleece lining inside. Only used as a rain hat so far and it's been very helpful in keeping the warmth in and the wet out! Highly recommend for those with larger heads, fits well. Ordered the XL at first and it was too large.

Love this hat it is amazing, comfortable and all around practical!! I just wish they made one in the adult version that was blaze orange, please consider this option!!

I've worn my original all over the Brooks Range in Alaska for numerous Summer trips, and you can't wear these out. I suggest that you offer many brighter colors and keep a much larger inventory! Purples, for example.

Perfect for all types of water activities and sun protection. Quality product.

Great hat. Keeps the rain and the sun off. Wish I had gotten it years ago.

Keeps the sun off my head & is waterproof. Highly recommended!

I have been wearing this on and off for weeks now when walking during the day in Phoenix, AZ. This time of year the sun can be brutal and wearing sunblock sometimes isn't enough. The Seattle Sombrero definitely kept the afternoon sun off of my face and neck and I am so glad I bought this hat.

Best rain hat ever I have had 50 hats This one is the best one in wet weather!

Love it! Use it whenever it rains. Have had it for more than 20 years and it is still awesome!

Great, comfortable rain hat. Whole family has one now.

Since I torn up my first Seattle Hat with a chainsaw I decided to buy another one. So I bought the Seattle Cape Hat but that was too light and it did not come with a Cinch-Band but the cape was nice addition. I just received my 2nd Seattle Hat, it also didn't come with a Cinch-Band. I guess it was my fault for not fully reading the description. I just checked the ones with the Cinch-Band they don't seem to be in stock. I really liked my first one, it was perfect but I wished the brim length for the back was 4 inches.

Got this hat for backcountry skiing and it's great. Snow doesn't get through event in the worst snowstorms.

It is warm in winter, cool in summer, keeps my head dry from rain, used to be many colors to choose from. The award faded I guess.

I live in Seattle, so it seemed appropriate that I would buy this hat. It's been a godsend this year because with the pandemic in full force, getting out for a walk was one of the few options available for exercise. No matter how hard the rain came down, my head was dry and warm. Same with the snow, I walked to work with it coming down and when I got there, the snow slid off my hat like magic. The hat is comfortable but you have to measure your head so that you get the right size. I've seen some complaints about it coming off in the wind but I haven't had that experience at all. It's a nice looking hat too and holds its shape. I don't like wearing raincoat hoods that impair my vision, so this hat has become a favorite. I have an unlined version for warmer weather but this one offers better rain protection. It's worth every penny!

Comfortable and keeps my dry and it's wide brim keeps the rain from running down my neck. Adjustable so fits well

Great rain cover and I look really cool.

Good quality

Surprisingly keeps it's form even after being packed. Extremely warm and comfortable and does the job.

Perfect for keeping the rain off your head and out of your face without having to carry an umbrella!

I've gotten stuck out in several very heavy rain storms and stayed dry, the larger brim even kept the rain from running down my neck.

wow totally amazing. BEST hat on the planet. Warm waterPROOF. Makes hikes and walks to much more enjoyable because you have 360 hearing that is not possible with a hood

Comfortable and stays on head when windy.

Have used this on a few occasions for rain gear, fits perfect, brim flops in wind but is very manageable.
