This is my second hat. My first one was left on a train and I think someone lifted it. Can't blame them. Since it is an awesome hat. Great for wearing for any sport in the sun or in the rain. It easily converts to a rain hat with little effort. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro strips on the rain cover to hold it on in windy conditions.
great hat

awesome hat. its lightweight and comfortable and even looks good. the rain cover is very effective against rain. water just beads right up on it. its versatility makes it a perfect hat for all conditions except winter.
We get sun in Seattle too. Simply put: The Seattle Sombrero is one of the greatest celebrations of Outdoor Research's legacy in trusted outdoor protection since the 80's. Water-resistant with a durable 70D brim - you already know what makes this hat an award-winning staple of the Outdoor Research line. What you might not have known: Internal adjustable cinch-band keeps headwear in place, UPF 50+ protection guards against harmful sun rays, and a packable design weighing in at a mere 3.2 oz ensures the fondly-known Sea Som stays put at the top of your packing list.

is this a men's or women's hat?
what size would fit a 22" circumference?
thanks

I Have no idea what gender this hat is designed for. There is a Velcro adjustment inside the brim to accommodate different head sizes. The rain fly did just that - flew away in the wind. I ended up throwing it away because it kept falling off :(

Thanks, Jennifer.
I've seen the fly away aspect commented on before and appreciate knowing.
I actually bought it after I got answers on size, and now am going to figure a way to keep
fly from flying away, I hope. Clothes pins? :) (or are you too young to know what close pins are?
:) :)

No way, I dry all my clothes on the line. Clothes pins are a critical household item!! maybe some Velcro on the underside of the brim? Enjoy your hat ;)

I believe these hats are fine for men or women. Although clearly not a style accessory, they protect against the sun very well, and have decent ventilation. The hat is very lightweight, rollable, and the rain cover is a great addition. I don't choose to keep the rain cover in the brim pocket as it weighs the back down. As for sizing, I needed a 22.5" fit and the LARGE size was perfect. I ended up buying two different colors from Sunnysports.

Thanks! Really appreciate the feedback.

I think i's unisex.
Hiking only not dress up.
22 in circumference is a medium I believe.

Thanks for your help!

I bought it for myself, but I think the hat could be worn by either gender. Not sure about the size for a 22". By the way i still love the hat. I bought for rain protection, but 99% of the time I wear it without the rain cover in the sun. Hope that helps.
