The unflagging Nimbus Sombrero

By Ranked #561 - Sun Hats - Rain Hats - Safari Hats April 5, 2006

On the island of Kauai we have the wettest spot on earth, Mt. Wai'ale'ale, where in March over 90 inches of rain fell. Rainfall records have been broken in every town. But no one sells rain hats. An avid hiker, my research led me to Outdoor Research where I found the Nimbus. I've never found a better all-purpose rain hat. I needed a hat that keeps my head dry when it rains like a waterfall yet doesn't make my head hot, I could adjust to stay on in high winds, and I could stuff in my pocket. The added bonus is the brim doesn't get floppy.
