I saw some rather persuasive ads for the Bonehead somewhere, but Columbia just puts a PFG tag on it for Performance Fishing Gear. It has a wide brim and is intended for those who spend a lot of their time actively enjoying the great outdoors. If you open the Columbia website and do a search for Bonehead you will see an array of clothing and baseball caps, but not this hat. Fortunately Amazon has them available at a great price and I couldn't resist getting one.

There are lots of other hats made of various palm and straw fibers, and the Bonehead has a striking resemblance to the very popular Cuenca Fedora style, but this hat is made of a Washi derivative and will probably hold up longer to all the abuses a rugged outdoors hat is likely to get. Getting this hat wet won't destroy it.

The hat arrived to me crushed and quickly resumed its original shape upon pulling it out of the box. The material is quite soft and flexible, and the brim sits flat. It has an elastic sweatband that serves double duty in providing a snug fit on all heads in either the S/M or L/XL ranges. I purchased a S/M and it is a perfect fit for my 57 centimeter head.

It's a great hat, and I have already ordered another one while still available.
