Comments about REI Sahara Outback Cape Hat:

Got this product[...] just before departing to intense sun in tropics (Galapagos, Amazon Basin). Shape, wide brim, chin strap vs. winds, breathability, and fast drying fabric are all pluses. The hat does not come in a light color... both of the available colors are mid-tones, making it a definite solar gainer. In designing a sun hat, a light color that does not heat up is too important to ignore!!! This hat's fabric got very hot as time spent in the sun ground on... I wasn't quite hallucinating up old French Foreign Legion films, but hey, didn't anyone in the design dept. study physics? This otherwise excellent hat should be available in both white and a buff or a very light tan so as not to be such a solar gain passive heating unit!

Comments about REI Sahara Outback Cape Hat:

I took this hat on a trip to Northern Arizona this summer. Hot, sunny, and unforgiving. This hat was fantastic. The cape kept more sun off me than the brim did alone, and yet the whole thing was amazingly comfortable, even in 100+ temps. Buying a second one, I like this so much.

Comments about REI Sahara Outback Cape Hat:

I have a small head and a small was not small enough. I thought the chinstrap would be enough of an adjustment, but unfortunately not. Would be better if there was a way to adjust it above the brim and around the head. As soon as a gust of wind came, the hat flew off my head (even with the chinstrap tightened). Works to keep the sun off my face. I haven't used the cape, but I think it could come in handy.

Very functional sun hat, great for travel or carrying in your pack or luggage.

I loaned it to a friend and he wouldn't return it and had to buy another one!
