Outdoor Research Nimbus Sombrero Hat

Great hat, good service!
Just love this hat. It's got a nice broad brim to keep the rain off my glasses, it's lightweight, it has a chin strap to defy the wind, and unlike my other functional hats, it's actually attractive on me! I'm now drooling over the red one and trying to see if I could justify just one more hat...

Great Watersports Hat
Great Watersports Hat! I already wrote a review, but had not yet sailed or windsurfed in the Nimbus. I wore it today in heavy winds, lot of capsizing, and not only did it stay on my head, but it really threw off the water and my head stayed warm and comfy. I am very impressed!

A great hat; the second one in the family.
I bought this hat as a gift for my wife because I have one just like it. This is an all-weather hat that kept my head dry during last summer's 200 mile hike in Spain. My wife's had, although good for fighting off the rays of the sun, quickly became soaked when we encountered rain. My served me so well, that I decided that this year she needed one just like it.

Loved it
I bought the hat for my husband and he loved it. Perfect fit. I would buy this hat again.

Lightweight hat is good for rain or shine
I have 2 of these hats and have bought them for others as gifts because they are great on the beach to protect you from the sun, they keep rain off and even bugs from buzzing in your ears when hiking in the summer. This hat is lighter than the gortex model and therefore cooler. It has a nice wide brim as well as an adjustment to make it fit better. The neck string can be cinched up in windy weather or allows for you to wear it on your back. I always take one in my pack camping. I packs easy in backpacks or suit cases as if goes completely flat.
