CumuloNimbus

By Lightspeed Ranked #219 - Hats March 16, 2006

Wore the Nimbus through a heavy wet snow squall yesterday. The Aussie-shaped wide brim did the job and kept me dry neck up...though it did drain all the snow on the back onto the top of my pack, but that was a given. Chin straps annoy me so I tightened the headband's quick cinch system and the wind couldn’t claim it from my head. Despite the good breathing system I have reservations about it being a bit too warm in the summer sun. I like the packability and the foam/plastic brim that can be shaped, crushed, and reshaped. The snaps are well placed and snapping the sides up doesn’t misshape the crown the way Marmot's comparable sombrero does. Did I mention that for what it is, it looks dog-gone good?
