Outdoor Research Transit Sun Hat
Available Colors / Styles
Toss on the Outdoor Research Transit Sun Hat when it’s so hot even the mosquitos don’t dare to fly and bite. This breathable, 50+ rated UPF hat uses mesh side panels for ventilation so you’ll keep cool when you hike in the desert heat or fly fish the Gunnison River. Don’t worry about losing your hat when fighting a monstrous rainbow because the hats brim allows it to float in the refreshing river.
Bottom Line: Never leave home without it.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

I bought this hat for work. I work outside and wanted protection from the sun. It's a very nice hat. I wear it for all my outdoor activities.

I love this hat. I notice the majority of people purchase the Helios, and I considered, but I wanted a Vented hat that did not look like a sombrero, I also purchased the mushroom color (looked grey on monitor, is actually dark green). I hike a lot of prairies and the edges of forest, often in direct sun, while shooting wildlife (photos) in high heat, high humidity and not only does this hat protect my face and neck, it keeps the sweat out of my eyes AND seems to obscure my face enough that a hawk flew out of the grass right over my head!( raptors in Kansas avoid people, with good reason). the brim is not rigid at all which suits me just fine, and I think it is the best hat ever! THE END

I sweat a lot, will this brim keep it from dripping in my eyes?
Are the Helios and the Transit the same hat except for the v
Are the Helios and the Transit the same hat except for the vents?

No, verry different, although the shape is similar. The Transit is cotton canvas, made to dunk in the water and serve as a swamp cooler on your head. The Helios is lightweight synthetic, UPF 50. Both are great hats. Let me know if you have other questions!

My 30 dollar hat which I paid another 7 bucks for shipping arrived in a wad in my mailbox. The packaging consisted of a plastic bag with no cushioning material. I thought USPS gives free boxes for shipping?

Don't get pulled into buying a hat with the funky synthetics- they are too HOT when one is in motion. This was a great buy- Very Breathable- wonderful venting- this hat was my very particular daughters choice out of about 5- it accompanied her through the Olympic National Park on a 10 day trip- she would reccomend it highly! The natural fibers, packable and moldable brim add to its ease of use!
