If you take only one hat on your long summer adventure of backpacking and trekking, it should be the Women's Arroyo Bucket Hat from Outdoor Research. With UPF 30 construction and lightweight, breathable fabric, youll be protected from the rays no matter how long you stay out in the sun. Patterned Dri-release cotton reverses to solid-colored nylon for a hat that can quickly switch from subtle to spunky kick.

Great hat
I've worn this hat for boating, hiking, and other outdoor summer adventures and love that it stays on my head without a drawstring. Like it better than Columbia hat I ordered and returned. It is reversible and lightweight.
Favorite OR hat
I prefer to buy OR hats, because they provide different sizes (I have a relatively small head). They have different functions - waterproof, big brim (sombrero), but this is my favorite for everyday use. It's the most comfortable and attractive of the OR hats. It stays on surprisingly well, even though there is no chin strap - probably because of the 'bucket' shape. I also have many non-OR hats (mostly helen kaminski and eric javits), and this Arroyo hat is much less expensive and equally attractive and more functional.
