Outdoor Research Sombriolet Sun Hat
The Outdoor Research Sombriolet Sun Hat has a low-key, understated style. The Sombriolet's brim measures 4 inches in front and back and 3.25 inches on the sides, which is not too wide to stand out while still providing adequate coverage and 50+ UPF protection. The brim of the Outdoor Research Sombriolet Sun Hat is stiff and resistant to winds. It has a drawstring that you can tighten around your head to keep it snugly on your head. The Sombriolet's brim is a darker grey color on the underside. This protects your eyes and face from glare. For ventilation, the Outdoor Research Sombriolet Sun Hat has a mesh-lined crown and vents on the sides, front, and back. This provides you with the convenience of not having a hot head.
Because of the stiffness of the brim, the Outdoor Research Sombriolet Sun Hat is quite durable. The Outdoor Research Sombriolet Sun Hat can be stuffed in a small ziplock bag for 30 minutes, but the brim will come out bent if you don't pack it carefully. It is available in a variety of muted colors that will effectively conceal dirt and stains. While it's not ideal for backpacking due to the larger brim interfering with the pack, it's ideal for taking out on the water or any other leisure activity you can think of.
Pros:
- UPF 50+ good sun protection

Cons:
- A large brim can be inconvenient when wearing a large backpack
