4 stars due to pointy top. If sized right for you, this hat gives good coverage, while allowing good peripheral vision.
Very good value for under $20. Read on for why this evaluation.
I wear 7 1/8 in a Stetson. Bought this Dutch Harbor rain hat in a large because it appeared pointy & I like my hat low over my face in a storm.
I've lived decades 45 minutes from the Pacific Northwest rainforest (which averages 144 inches annually) on the west coast of Washington. The Pacific NW has had record precipitation this year; today is 4/18/18, and it's not over.
I know all versions of sky-, river-, lake-, & ocean-source wetness and coastal storms. I use this hat at least twice daily to pasture-feed livestock, haul up firewood, or simply to be outside in Western Washington especially in winter (sometimes all year).
Due to very thick vinyl, it will hold a rolled brim, which is desirable because that brim then funnels water to the back, away from your face.
Due to design, buy at least one size larger in order to roll a brim.
And if you occasionally wear glasses -
then TWO sizes larger for comfort; to have room to roll up the brim; AND to pull it down low over glasses.
It has very soft and wide comfortable tie straps to keep it on in windy conditions.
Now see photos taken with aid of 2 mirrors; note the circle of vinyl at top.
Due to pointy top, unless you are a conehead (Saturday Night Live), your head will not access the upper part of the hat (see photo) & the hat will not pull fully ONto your head & low OVER your face, which is how you want it in a wet environment. (I'm going to find you, whoever took my +35-year-old prior favorite rain hat)
The lining has the feel of light cotton flannel, but is 100% polyester. And I'm guessing it's the vinyl that California is warning against. (see photos of labels).
The seams are well sealed. The frontmost seam on the brim is thick and so MAY be slightly felt by some individuals on their forehead if brim is rolled & hat pulled extremely low (see photo).
Still a good value.
