Excellent Backpacking hat Image: 5 Stars
by Robert Barrett
I wanted to replace my old backpacking hat with something that was more adaptable to various situations and environments. This hat has so far risen to the challenge. It keeps my head and ears warm when starting out on 30 degree mornings. As the day starts to heat up it vents the heat away from my head covers my neck and ears from the sun and is adjustable as my head tends to swell as I climb in elevation. During the late afternoon it catches the breezes that come along and expands to circulate the air around my head and neck. As an added benefit it keeps the mosquitoes away from my ears and neck and I do not have to wear a mosquito net around my head. I agree with the other reviews about the removal/reattaching the sun skirt. It is a pain at first but because of all of the other wonderful benefits it is a minor annoyance and as I take on and off more often it goes a little bit quicker after each time. I would buy this hat again in a heartbeat and it has become a regular part of all of my outdoor activities.


Great hat, but somewhat noisy Image: 4 Stars

Overall I like the hat; however if it's windless and quiet outside I hear the fabric of the sun shade rustling against my ears. Not a huge deal just something to note.

Living in San Diego the sun is powerful even during a late morning run. I was looking for something that provided absolute coverage for my face and this hat is perfect. It's also light-weight a cool. A must have for those who are concerned about harmful UV rays.

Great sun protector that looks good while being worn. One problem easily fixed; the side curtains may slip down allowing sun to the temples. Solution; bast or staple one spot on the top seams to keep them in place.

This is an excellent hat to wear during jogging in the noon hot sun. Removable shade is an excellent idea. Good product and excellent idea. Silvester.
