          Comments about Outdoor Research Sol Hat:

          I use this hat hiking in the Colorado Rockies. After a summer of hard use, it has proven to be a great hat. It's breathable, offers good protection and will stand up to rain short of an extended downpour. I would have given it five stars, except for the fact that it has a removable chin strap that is attached to the hat with two side loops. These loops have a tendency of working themselves out of the hat, whether the strap is attached or not, and rubbing against my ears. This is annoying, but can be remedied by simply tucking the loops back up under the hat. This annoyance conforms to some of my other experience with OR apparel: it's always supremely functional, but sometimes not quite perfect when it comes to comfort.

            Comments about Outdoor Research Sol Hat:

            I wore this hat for about 2000 miles of hiking on the CDT. One of my favorite things about it compared to other hats is the ability to crush it and toss it in my backpack if I wanted too. Some other hats with a thick stiff brim just wouldn't be able to do that.

            Comments about Outdoor Research Sol Hat:

            Great hat to help keep the sun off of your ears and face. The removable chin strap as well as the shock cord loop around that hat do an excellent job of keeping the had on your head in high winds if you're walking through a windy desert.
