Why We Like the Seattle Rain Hat

Thought it was the renamed Seattle Sombrero
I thought that the Seattle Sombrero had been renamed but this is a different hat. There is no headband structure incorporated in this hat. While the Gore-Tex does what it's supposed to, and the brim is nice, the fit and wear is like putting a bag on the top of your head and holding it there with a chin strap.

Comfy and functional.
This hat is good for rain or sun. It lives in my Jeep always ready to go!

Still waiting for rain!
Feels good. You could add more comfort with a velcro or string tightener around the head. Im not quite a large size, and not medium. Pretty pricey for a bit of a sloppy fit.

Love My New OR Seattle Rain Hat
Received my new hat just in time to take hiking on a rainy day! Worked perfect and kept my head nice and dry!

I AM buying this product again.
I had my O.R. rain hat (blue with black trim) for 30 years and used it all the time here in wet Western Washington...until my car was stolen and my "Seattle Sombrero" along with it. The car was recovered, somewhat worse for wear, but all contents, including my rain hat, were gone. My hat was purchased at a different well-known outdoor gear store, but they are no longer stocking the brand. So, I intend to purchase the replacement from the manufacturer. I expect my new hat to last at least as long as the one I lost.

Great rain hat
I bought this for my husband to wear when doing outdoor activities in the rain. He has worn it several times and loves it. The hat keeps him dry and looks much better than a lot of hats on the market. We would highly recommend.

Why remove the Velcro adjustment?
I agree 100% with the earlier reviewer regarding OR's unfortunate decision to eliminate the Velcro adjustment strap. This would have been my third Seattle Sombrero (Rain Hat) however I had to return it ($6.95 shipping) because I can no longer fine tune the size. Otherwise, it is a 5-star hat if your head is a specific size.

perfect for hiking in sun or wind or rain!
I've worn this a couple of times already and really like it. I like how it fits - not too loose or tight - and love that you can secure it with the strings that hang in front (it's currently pretty windy here so definitely need to use that feature). It doesn't make my head too warm. The size of the brim is great for keeping the sun off my face. I love that you can velcro the sides up as needed. And best of all it's goretex so when I hike in the rain my head should stay dry.
