Lightweight and comfortable. Just what I needed for sun protection.

My husband works outside and really needs protection from the sun. He was noticeably cooler when he wore the hat.

I love OR products, but this item was not khaki but yellow. It is NOT the same color as pictured. My non-politically correct children (ages 7 and 9) immediately said "Dad, you're wearing a girls hat." Even my somewhat PC wife chuckled when she saw it on me. The hat itself seems great, but the color makes it look rather silly. I won't be wearing it.

Got it for a summer rafting trip. The strap will keep it from blowing away.

Use it for wildlife work in the mountains (6,000-12,000' elevation), across the West. I spend enough days outside, under full sun all day, that thinking about skin cancer is a must. These hats must earn their keep, when I get them -- they seem to do that !

I originally bought this hat for a trip to Costa Rica. I wanted a hat to stuff in a bag, but be ready to go in hot/sunny weather. This worked great. The hat survives being smashed just fine and looks good hiking through the forest or hanging on the beach. I liked this hat so much that it has now become my go to hat for fair weather alpine adventures. It is light enough that I don't mind carrying it. Or stuffing it in a pack when it is time to wear a helmet.

I cannot tell you how much I love the papyrus hat. I am a master naturalist and thus spend a good deal of time in the field throughout the year. The papyrus is everything I need out of a full coverage sun hat, which breathes remarkably well and dries quickly. It's easy to reshape it (just add water), if you're going for the Indiana Jones look or it simply gets crushed.

I bought this hat as a sun hat for out in the yard. As such it does the job that it is supposed to do, it is light, and provides good sun protection to the head, neck and shoulders. I normally have trouble with "one size fits all" hats because, in my case, that usually means "won't fit". This hat fit well, so I selected true to size. My first problem with this hat was that it came in a plastic bag in a box but box and hat were both squashed. I thought the hat would spring back into shape but it hasn't and the crown still looks squashed. The brim was also misshapen and I seem to spend quite a bit of time playing with the brim when I'm wearing it. This is meant to be a casual hat so that probably doesn't bother some people. I only wanted it for summer gardening so the squashing is not a huge problem but it irritates me. The main problem with the hat is the material that it is constructed from. I am not sure how waterproof it is. It certainly absorbs sweat and shows stains. Also, with my use in the garden, I tend to take it off with dirty hands and I am not sure how well it will stand up to being cleaned.
