I have 5 hats with SPF protection and 4 of them are Outdoor Research. I have one Nordic Gear hat which I always liked because it's very light weight.  This new hat is now my favorite because it's as light as the Nordic Gear hat, plus it's green.

All of my hats are size medium and this one felt a little large when I first put it on, but it was easily adjustable with the toggle at the back. Now if fits perfectly.

I've washed my older hats a lot, and worn some of them for years, and they're still looking good and doing their jobs.

I have a rain proof OR hat that I bought this winter and the brim is very stiff. I don't like that change in the design of the hats, even though it does seem more effective in keeping rain off. I still prefer my older hat with the softer brim. I was concerned that this hat would have that stiff brim because they say the brim is "foam stiffened," but it's still flexible. The fabric feels very soft and smooth. The hat will easily fold for packing.

I like this hat so much that I started wearing it for my daily walks. I might get another one in a neutral color if I can find one.
