Questions & Answers

Wallace S : can this hat be washed, and if so, how well does it stand up to washing?JOHN M : Yes, I wash by hand in the sink then let it air dry. In Florida we volunteer walking dogs daily in the hot sun and rainy days. My hat has lasted over three years. I wash it in the sink with laundry soap then rinse it and hang it up. Just purchase my third hat... Have use it for years.Chris C : Yes but hang it up to dry it. It stands up to washing really well.
horace k : how wide is the brim?Deborah B : Three inches for front and sides. Four inches in back.CARL Z : 3 inches in front and sides, tapers to 4 inches in back. The wider back is designed to keep rain off your neck. I love this hat and have two. Comfortable (no rivets), easy to pack, light weight. Way more comfortable and handy than the ever-popular Tilly hat.DAVID D : It's 3-1/8". Holds its shape pretty well, too, except that the front of the brim flips up in a strong headwind (which drives me crazy when I'm kayaking).LARRY D : 3.25" brim......great hat, love it! It's the only hat for here in Arizona!JAMES C : 3 inches in front and on the sides. 4 inches in back. I LOVE this hat!

Wicking action headband.STEVE T : The Sun Hat is made of 86% nylon and 14% polyester it is a very comfortable hat very nice looking and sheds the shade off my neck well .

Very much pleased.

Received the item in a timely fashion. Fit to actual size listed. Light in weight even after pouring rain fell down on it. Protected my head well from the hot sun. Element of wicking allowed to maintain totally dry scalp. Chin cord stayed firmly in place. Product lived up to features listed. Will recommend to others.

Outstanding product

This is a replacement for one I had for 5years, outstanding hat keeps your head cool, and very light weight for those hiking adventures, and a fantastic price, compared to other sites, great job with the Veterans discount. Don't pass this up.

Excellent Sun hat

This is my second Sombriolet Sun hat. It caught my eye because I have bought so many sun hats that squeeze my larger than average head to the point of headaches. The large size was just what I needed. The brim is a perfect size for shading my face. The vents actually prevented sweat from dripping down into my eyes, and, I thought I was pretty cute as well. I would recommend this hat to anyone spending time outside.

FANTASTIC HAT

Best thing next to swimming trunks at your swimming pool. Great sun protection for your face.

Great sun hat

This hat can be stuffed into a pocket, but the rim quickly returns to its round form for good shade. The rim has enough stiffness to return to form after a stiff breeze pushes it up or down. Very useful for sunny climes. It fits my large (XL) head and has an adjustment to make a tighter fit.

great hat

I'm a big fan of OR's Swift cap, so I bought this one for trips to the beach. No complaints so far. Medium fits my bald head (22.25")perfectly. in windy conditions I was able to just tighten it a bit, and the hat stayed in place.

Very Comfortable

I really like OR products. This hat is very comfortable and lightweight. It has two ways to keep it on your head if wind becomes an issue. It has a drawstring you can cinch, and if the wind becomes too much for that, you can use a chin strap. I intend to wear this hat on a regular basis, even around town. I've always liked being in the shade and this hat makes it easy.

O.R. KNOWS hats & this one=Max Shade

I had mentioned that this hat has a thin wire in the brim to help maintain the brim shape. Therefore I am BAFFLED as to the packaging that Sunny Sports shipped it in. It was FOLDED up and crammed into a box that measured 6x6x6. It took lots of fiddlin' and rebending to try and get the brim back into some semblance of a normal hat shape. Still not right, but usable. This folded hat brim deal has been a MAJOR bummer. DEMAND a different pack job than I got if you get the opportunity.

Great at blocking out the sun.

This hat is really nice at keeping the sun off your neck and face. And it helps to keep your head cooler and not feel so hot under it.
