      Comments about Outdoor Research Oasis Sombrero - Women's:

      Bought this hat for a trip out to Death Valley and Yosemite National Parks. I was looking primarily for sun protection but this hat also kept me dry during several rain showers. The chin strap is great to keep it on in the wind (I hadn't anticipated all the wind out there) and when I want to take the hat off, the chin strap let me hang it down my back for easy access (no need to stop to stow the hat in my pack). It was easy to pack flat in my luggage and the wide rim kept the sun off my face and the back of my neck. I bought it for hiking, but now that I am back home I think I will also use it when I am out working in the yard. I really like this hat!

        Comments about Outdoor Research Oasis Sombrero - Women's:

        This is the best hat I have owned. I am in my mid 30's and have been out in the sun since the day I was born. So my face has skin damage and last year I was diagnosed with skin cancer spot on my nose that was able to be removed. I have to wear a hat everyday when I am outside. This hat is comfortable and holds its shape.

          Comments about Outdoor Research Oasis Sombrero - Women's:

          I love this hat! It performed flawlessly on a 7 day raft trip on the lower San Juan River in southern Utah (in August!) My head stayed cool, and it kept the sun well off of my face and neck, even after getting soaked during a water fight. The brim is sturdy, and never sagged (even when everyone else's hats were, and all 19 of us had wide-brimmed hats). It fits well enough that you don't necessarily need the chin strap, but it really anchors to your head when the wind kicks up. I'm a young 20-something, and this hat isn't something I'm afraid to wear out into public (unlike the big hat my mom used to wear).

          My only complaint is that it couldn't quite resist staining from the mineral-rich river water, but I've grown to like the reddish tint.

            Comments about Outdoor Research Oasis Sombrero - Women's:

            I've worn this hat for outdoor work for several years from sea level to 10,000+ feet. It's been machine washed (warm) repeatedly and air dried with no loss of effectiveness or shape. While primarily designed to be a sun hat (for which it's perfect), it also keeps the rain off & keep its shape in the rain. The drawstring is highly functional and has not shredded or pulled loose from the hat. I love the extra-wide brim and feel well-protected from strong sun.

            It may not be the most stylish hat around but it could be a very good addition to a traveller's suitcase since it is wash and wear.
