Outdoor Research Sombriolet Sun Hat - Large Size
Customer Reviews:* I take daily long arroyo walks in the Chihuahuan desert and wear this hat with me every time I go in it. It handles the sun and stays on my head even in 25-30 mph winds (with chin strap attached). Temps often reach 105+ degrees and while it does not ventilate that great (even when cooler in the winter) it does protect my noggin from the sun. In fact, I bought a spare one too. I do have a 7 1/8 head size and the medium size (which I returned) fits too tight for me so I recommend the large size for medium sized heads. Only thing it does not do is scare away Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes! * Get the large if your head size is 7 1/4 - 7 1/2. I ended up paying over 6 additional dollars for the return but very happy as this hat has an adjustable head band and now it fits perfect and not too tight. When the winds pick up it will flap but so what! Its light, offers great shade and water repellency. I use it for the beach, kayak fishing and when mowing the lawn. Great value for the money... I've always bought cheap straw hats and this is the best hat I've owned yet. Buy it!
