Great little hat

Rating:*****
I bought this at in yellow last summer and loved it. I have color-treated hair and needed a cover from the sun for outdoor activities and running around. I ordered a size larger (L) so that the hat wouldn't crease and mess my hair. Of all the hats I've tried in the stores, this hat was the best! I wore it extensively last summer. I was thrilled to see it back on STP this year and ordered it in two more colors. Can't wait for summer!!

Love it!

Rating:*****
Love this hat so much that I got it in several colours! Outdoor research sizing can be weird, but this hat fits perfectly. I added a thin storm cord, so the hat can't be blown off when cycling etc. The brim is rather small, so not suitable for protecting the neck, but perfect to prevent burnt ears! The hat can be rolled up small & fits well into my small home-made handbag.Rather like the embroidered flower as well...

Should've ordered more!!

Rating:*****
I was gladly surprised of this hat's lightness. Although I would've like a larger rim, the hat provides the coverage I need. My 6 yr old liked it so much, she began wearing the hat herself. Like my title says, I should've order a few more to have in different colors and to share with her.

Fits!

Rating:*****
I have the smallest head for an adult and it is frustrating for a fair skinned person, needing to block the sun, to find an inexpensive hat for summer fun. I ordered the small and it fits. I am one happy camper, which is one of the places I will take my new hat. Thanks!

outstanding sporty hat

Rating:*****
Can not say a anything bad about this hat. I have owned many other OUTDOOR RESEARCH products and they have good design and are well made that means money well spent. I would love to have more basic color selection. I will wear this hat almost year round in the north east.
DRC at Sierra Trading Post on 03/03/2008

Cute and functional

Rating:*****
Is just what I wanted, sun protection without being too hot. Also very cute! According to a hat sizing chart I found online, it said I wear a medium. I didn't think I had a "medium" sized head (lol), but I ordered that size anyway. It is a perfect fit!

Lightwt and portable

Rating:*****
I have a few bucket hat around to keep sun off my bean and block the sun around my sunnies. This is just another nice one from STP. I have a hard-to-fit bean so having more than one size fits most is a treat since I'm not most;)

Seems comfy and lightweight!

Rating:****
This hat is just what i was looking for...brim is just wide enough to not drive me crazy but block the sun and it is a nice weight and seems breathable for those hot days. I am very happy overall.
Sunshine Sara at Sierra Trading Post on 05/05/2008

Nice hat

Rating:*****
This hat is very light and cute looking. The fabric is breathable and quick dry. It works great under the sun---cooling, protect my hair from UV rays. I can not help buying several in different colors!
Jen at Sierra Trading Post on 07/09/2009

I would buy this product again

Rating:*****
I use the hat for running and walking to keep the sun out of my face. I ordered a womens small according to the measurements and returned it for a womens medium. Fits much better.

Dorky

Rating:**
The price was right but my family laughed when I put it on. The brim was too small. Stylish it ain't.

Ugh

Not Quite What I Bargained For

Rating:***
Can't put my hair up with this hat, blows off easily. Otherwise stylish and comfortable. I won't wear it hiking again, but it is a nice breathable hat for a summer walk.
Snowflake at Sierra Trading Post on 06/17/2008

A little warm

Rating:***
I like the hat, it's cute, and I do wear it, but it is warm - I tend to pull it off the minute I get in some shade.
