Outdoor Research Acacia Hat

Perfect sun hat
I purchashed this hat for my husband and he loved it. It will give him sun protection as well as a great look. It was delivered quickly in perfect condition( packed well). I'm sure it will deliver many years of wear and it also has a terrific warranty if there might be a problem. Very pleased with this purchase.

Nice fit, sizing info helped assure so. Well made and seems like it will last, but have only had it for a couple of weeks. Not inexpensive, but if it lasts will be well worth it.

So-So Sombrero
I bought this hat to cover my bald head and ginger skin during a recent resort vacation to Riviera Maya, Mexico. It did everything I asked it to do: provided me with plenty of shade, stayed cool, held up well in the pool when wet, floated, didn't fade, brim is stiff and stayed out of my eyes. If I had to nit pick, there would be two things: 1. This isn't a packable hat you roll up or flatten and throw in a pack or suitcase. The canvas-like fabric and mesh vents are stiff, making the hat prone to crushing and not regain its shape well. 2. It's a bit tall for my taste. The dome is high, especially if you're used to a close-fitting booney or bucket hat. The shape and style is more cowboy hat than sun hat.
