Great for glacier trips
I got this hat for my husband, because everytime we are out in the mountains he gets his neck burned. This hat covers his neck greatly and protects it from the sun on the glacier and still keeps him cool. Because it is synthetic it dries quickly and the light weight is a plus too.
I love this hat!
The main reason I bought this was because it was synthetic, lightweight, and had the sun skirt (I didn't want to have to deal with a bandanna or buff separately). I have worn it on two hikes, both of which were in warmer weather. It was great; I get hot easily but it didn't feel 'heavy' or cumbersome, even when using the sun skirt. It dried quickly as well. I am looking forward to using it on higher altitude expeditions next summer (i.e. Colorado 14ers and Mt. Rainier).
Great Hat!
This is a comfortable, decent looking hat that seems durably made. It was a good price and I would buy it again, though I doubt I'll have to.
Love the hat!
I'm hiking the Appalachian Trail at the moment. As it is getting hot, in the mid-Atlantic, I needed a hat that would keep out some of the powerful sunrays. This hat has worked great so far and I'm very happy with the product.
great
As a distance runner I needed sun protection but was concerned with wind resistance and fit so as not to be distracted from my training or race. This cap far exceeded my expectations - I love it. I am a 70 year Army vet male that has been running for over 40 years and competing in distance runs up to and including marathons.
