This is my second Mountain Hardwear hat. It is my favorite of those I have tried so far. I've tried the O.R. hat and did not like it because it is not vented and has a liner that locks in the heat. The HardWear hat is well-vented, lightweight, and has a nice wide, crushable brim. The crushable brim, which can easily be pushed aside, is a big plus for the activities I engage in. Perfect for protection from the stifling heat and sunshine. It is worth the hefty price.

I had the same experience with the OR Helios hat; it was not vented well enough and the sweatband did not seem to absorb enough sweat. The Columbia Bora Bora Booney, while it has a strip of mesh, still did not vent as well as the giant mesh side panels on the Mountain Hardwear hat, and the sweatband did not perform nearly as well, I had sweat running down into my eyes and dripping onto my shades. This is my favorite hiking hat.
