Outdoor Research Women's Oasis Sombrero Hat

My most favorite hat!!!
This was my first Outdoor Research hat, and it remains my favorite. I love all of the ones I have bought (especially because I can buy them large enough!) but this one has everything I could want in a hat. I bought it for the huge brim because I sunburn so easily, and I wanted my ears and neck covered as well. This does the job. The top part fits really nicely and comfortable, and the brim is nice and big. I really love that you can adjust how tight the band fits. When it is windy I tighten it, when I am hot, I loosen it. The chin strap has gotten me hooked - now I always look for a chin strap. I love the little flower detail on the back too. The only times I have gotten a sunburn since I bought the hat was when I left it behind - I won't do that again! Great hat, highly recommended!

Great hat for running
I am always on the lookout for a running hat and this fit the 'bill'. It needs to protect on all sides from the sun, be lightweight, not fall off when windy (without having to use the under chin strap), and be sturdy enough to wash frequently. This one is great on all fronts (except I haven't washed it yet). I have a small head and the medium fits fine and it's flattering to boot!

Best Boating and Hiking Hat
My daughter, who had just bought the hat, wore it on our boat recently. It was very good looking, and more importantly to me, it stayed on her head in spite of the wind. It was just what I had been looking for. I wore mine for the first time last week on an open boat trip to an island, where I spent the day hiking, mostly in the sun. The hat was on my head the whole time, so I can vouch for its comfort and its effectiveness as a sunscreen. My head didn't get as hot or sweaty as it has from other hats. I ordered a Small, which was true to size. Besides, my husband thinks it's pretty smashing!
