Tested in some of the heartiest downpours the world has to offer, the Seattle Sombrero is a rainy day classic. A seam taped Taslan Gore-Tex crown provides waterproof protection, while a brushed tricot interior wicks moisture. The foam stiffened brim directs water away from your head when it's gushing, and floats, so no more lost hats. Hook and loop tabs on the brim and dome allow the sides to be flipped up when the weather is fair. In windy conditions a removable chin cord and an internal Cinch-Band adjustment keep this sombrero secure.
