Marvellous Great hat, light, cool and well designed. Just the thing for climbing and glacier travel here in New Zealand, just found out that we have 40% more UV than you guys, so that makes this a very well timed purchase. Excellent service and fast delivery, thanks!

Best Bet to Beat the Heat Living in San Diego, the sun is powerful, even during a late morning run. I was looking for something that provided absolute coverage for my face and this hat is perfect. It's also light-weight a cool. A must have for those who are concerned about harmful UV rays.

Excellent Backpacking hat I wanted to replace my old backpacking hat with something that was more adaptable to various situations and environments. This hat has so far risen to the challenge. It keeps my head and ears warm when starting out on 30 degree mornings. As the day starts to heat up it vents the heat away from my head, covers my neck and ears from the sun and is adjustable as my head tends to swell as I climb in elevation. During the late afternoon, it catches the breezes that come along and expands to circulate the air around my head and neck. As an added benefit it keeps the mosquitoes away from my ears and neck and I do not have to wear a mosquito net around my head. I agree with the other reviews about the removal/reattaching the sun skirt. It is a pain at first but, because of all of the other wonderful benefits it is a minor annoyance and as I take on and off more often it goes a little bit quicker after each time. I would buy this hat again in a heartbeat and it has become a regular part of all of my outdoor activities.
