Rated 5 out of 5 by limakilo from great hat; bring back the other colors! My two kids have each been wearing this hat for three years and I have nothing but good things to say. The adjustable cinch around the crown is handy, and the adjustable chin strap has been terrific in windy situations (e.g. boats). My only complaint is that Outdoor Research seems to often discontinue colors. My daughter has been wearing the color "Crocus" (pink) and my son "Diablo" (orange), but no similar bright colors are currently available. I especially liked the orange hat for my son, because it made it much easier to spot him on the playground or in a crowd. So I hope they bring these types of colors back.

Rated 5 out of 5 by aikigal from Welcome back, old friend! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is supposed to be a kids' hat, but you know how children's heads are out of proportion to their body size? Well the large size fits my large adult head. Very comfortably. Check the sizing charts and you'll see the overlap between child and adult. I love this hat enough to buy it twice. The first one went missing and I tried on many hats but no other hat would do. Excited to find this online. Apart from making me look as OK as I'm going to get, this hat is indestructible, crushable, washable, and now it's MINE! Did I mention that I'm happy with my purchase?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Climb&Surf from Functions and fits perfectly My kid is 18months and average percentile and with a small pull of the draw string it fit fine. He's super active and has until now been more annoyed by hats getting in his way of looking at cool stuff. Somehow this hat isn't a problem for him. Did a week at the beach at he sported it the whole time. Also, I noticed that when I went to wash it has a great DWR to protect from the rain. Looking forward to some bad weather.

Rated 5 out of 5 by millie from Best hats ever - buy it This is the best kids sun hat ever. Kids love it, its light, it protects them from the sun, it adjusts, they can swim it in, it keeps it shape, its breathable, it lasts for years. Our kids have had theirs for years and have used them extensively in hot tropical sun, both on land and while swimming. Even when soaking wet in the pool, it keeps it shape and the kids keep them. If you want to protect your kids from harmful sun exposure, this product is what you need.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jon from Great sun and rain protection for children We are long-time fans of wearing full brim hats primarily for sun protection on our face, ears, and necks...but we were having a tough time to get our children (ages 3 and 5) to wear brimmed hats. The Helios sun hat (one in pink and one in blue) were an instant success and they are now part of the children's basic kit that goes everywhere with us. The string loop is way too long, but it is easily adjustable because OR was thoughtful enough to keep one end of the string attached with a knot instead of sewing it directly into the hat. We used the measurements in the sizing guide and found it to be pretty accurate. If I could offer a suggestion it would be to make it a little more breathable. To beat the heat we soak our hats down with water and that has worked really well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Beth from If you have a kid who goes outside, buy this hat My son has LIVED in his two Helios hats. If you have a kid who likes to be outside, this will be the best investment you make! It provides a TON of sun protection and manages to stay on with an incredibly active kid. I can't recommend this product enough.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Wolverine from Does the job today and tomorrow I bought this for my 9 month old to wear when we are outside. The drawstring adjustment let me cinch it down to the correct size for my infants head and will allow it to adjust as he grows. I tried it on my 5 year-old nephew and it fit him too. The breakaway chin strap gives me peace of mind knowing that if it gets caught on something my son will be safe. Additionally, the hat is breathable and my son did not sweat a lot while wearing it. The brim offers more than enough face and neck protection.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Martina from Perfect! Absolutely love this hat for my toddler. It need him shaded and he enjoys wearing it as he never takes it off. We got the size small for our 22 month old and it fits perfect. It's adjustable so he still has room in it to grow as well. The chin strap keeps it on. If you need a Sunhat for your toddler buy this one!
