The Outdoor Research Seattle Sombrero Hat is a waterproof hat for hiking and enjoying soaking wet weather. If you're from the Pacific Northwest, then you know the drill: always bring along your rain gear. The wide-brimmed style combined with GORE-TEX 3L fabric makes it a winner for head coverage when the deluge falls from the skies. Dry hair, neck and even your face. The foam within the brim allows it to float if it falls off your head into a body of water, but you can avoid that mess by securing the chin strap in the event of wind.

another sad downgrade to a formerly great OR productI lost my much loved old seattle sombrero on my last work trip to Alaska; ordered a replacement and am very dismayed that the new one does not have the slick velcro cinch band, even though the instruction card that came with it still tells you how to adjust that. I've always loved the comfort and versatility of this hat, and the precise fit was a big part of that - I could put it on in the morning and spend the day working in windy rain, and it wouldn't budge. Sure it's got a chin strap - but since the hat is very large even on my big melon, I worry it will be shifting around a lot. Appears they removed the fitting band but left it very large as if it would still have one - many of their hats barely fit me at all but this is sloppy, so folks with normal-size noggins might want to go down a size now. It's a shame when formerly well-thought-out OR gear loses some of its most distinguishing and useful features, but it seems to be a trend.

Still good, but a little disappointingI bought my first Seattle Sombereo ~15 years ago, and functionally, it's still going strong. However, after prolonged salt water use and a couple of run-ins with red clay, it's a little stained, so I decided it was time for a new one. When the new one arrived, I was disappointed to see there was no size adjustment band inside like my old one had and that the hat was slightly taller (now it pushes my ears down). I plan to keep the hat as it's still much better than the alternatives, but I wish OR would revert to the older style/features.

Great hat, but hard to get a good fitI bought this to replace one I loved and lost. The design has changed. There is no more size adjuster. For me, the medium is too tight and the large is too loose. I returned it.

Size runs largeAll of my hats are size extra large. This hat runs to large for my head and there is no means of correcting it.

My go to hat(s)[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I go to the YMCA pool and met a nice couple that each had OR hats. I inquired about their hats. I liked what I heard so I purchased one for me and my husband. I love this hat I because it fits well, protects me from the sun and it is waterproof. I wear it when doing water exercise and when riding bike. I also purchased the Sombriolet sun hat which has a wider brim, vents and a chord to tighten to my head. I use both and I am very pleased because of the functionality and quality. PS I still use my baseball cap and visors.

The fit is off on the hat. Disappointing.I checked out the measurement guide and measured my head accordingly, but the hat just doesn't seem to sit low enough on my head. I'm very disappointed. I bought a different type of hat a while back and it fits fine and I love it. I also purchased gloves with the order and I love them too. Unfortunately, I'm not enjoying wearing this hat.

Wets through after few hours/brim caves in windy conditionsHat wetted out in a few hours of steady rain. Strong breeze will fold the brim. Avoid conditions that are wet and windy with this hat. Not bad if it's wet and calm.

O/R Seattle SombreroI lost my old O/R Seattle Sombrero (I think that's what it was called back than) on a motorcycle trip this year and was bummed out. I had my old hat for 25 years! New one seems just as well made with one feature missing. You could snug up the head band, not a big issue with the new hat. I give this hat 5 stars! If you are looking for a rain hat you will not be disappointed with this hat.
