Rave Review: "I love this hat," shares one reviewer. "It is nice to have a brim to keep the rain off my face. I have started going without an umbrella as this is so much easier: hands free, no wrestling with an umbrella, just wear a good raincoat and this hat you stay dry. Fits in your pocket. I even plan to wear it all winter with a warm liner underneath. Shoveling snow? Keep it off your face. It’s great. My only complaint: I wish it came in more colors. I like the blue but my size is sold out. I would like it in plum and maroon too, I would buy it in multiple colors."

Rave Review: "I bought this for a trip to drizzly Vancouver, and it performed perfectly," writes one reviewer. "It’s waterproof but not completely dowdy-looking. I have a small head and this hat has an adjustable pull string in the back that worked fine. It kept me dry downtown in an afternoon downpour, as well as at a temperate rain forest preserve outside of town. The crease is barely noticeable once I dampened the brim, and loaded it with several heavy books overnight (front and back in separate sections). Overall I’m very happy with this hat, and it’s stylish enough to be wearing at home in NYC in the rain as well."
