Comments about OUTDOOR RESEARCH Helios Sun Hat:
Next to my desert boonie, this is my favorite sun hat. The brim is long enough to keep the sun off my face, and the fabric is light, breathable, and UPF rated 50+. The brim is light-weight foam and would not stand up well in the rain, but that is not it's purpose. There is an adjustable elastic band that ensures a customizable fit. My only request would be to include a mesh liner; but that's nit-picking. Bottom line, great light-weight and breathable hat for keeping the sun off your face.

Comments about OUTDOOR RESEARCH Helios Sun Hat:
I currently use this hat in Baghdad where it's 120 degrees in the shade and even worse in the sun. It works great for keeping the sun off my face, ears and neck. It rolls up small enough to shove in your cargo pocket. I'm taking it with me next month for 10 days in Jordan hiking, biking, climbing and diving.
I like that I can remove the neck cord. I like my hat on or off, not haning from my neck.
I wish it breathed a little bit better. I don't think we've come up with a material yet that breaths enough for desert life.

Comments about OUTDOOR RESEARCH Helios Sun Hat:
This hat is extremely comfortable and light weight. It breathes well and has good adjustment using the bungee cord. It stays in place in wind even without using the neck strap. I recently wore it on the beach at Cape Hatteras, NC and it stayed in place in steady 20 mph winds and gusts in the 30's.
The only thing that would improve this hat would be GoreTex or a water repellent fabric.

Comments about OUTDOOR RESEARCH Helios Sun Hat:
The Helios Sun Hat provides the head, neck and ears with protection from extended exposure to the sun and its harmful rays. Individuals with sun-sensitive skin can enjoy outdoor activities knowing they are wearing a protective barrier that means a day in the sun won't turn into a night of misery from overexposure.

Easy to pack, lightweight, great hat for the purpose of keeping the sun off your head and out of your eyes. Lightweight material, did not get hot in the head wearing it despite the 90 degree, desert-like weather while hiking.
