  • Best adventure hat you could find
Size: Medium Color: Field Tan
I don't know why the description says "women's" on it now, because it didn't used to, but I got this hat years ago and have taken it all over the place on various camping, hiking, and backpacking trips. It is brilliant at both sun and water protection and, while oilskin isn't the most breathable thing in the world, I took it to a humid forest in eastern Texas in the middle of the summer and it wasn't uncomfortable. I love that it has snaps on either side so you can keep either, both, or neither side of the brim out of the way. Plus having one end of the hat pinned up just makes it look cooler. the material is extremely sturdy and crushable, which makes it super easy to shove into a pack, and I haven't had any issues with deformation of the cap or rim from this at all. Overall an excellent hat that I would highly recommend to take anywhere. ... show more

  • Great hat.
Size: Small Color: Field Tan
Glad they were on Amazon. Outback Outfitters are a fantastic brand. Everything is well made. This hat is nice and I can’t wait to break it in in Durango this fall.

  • Lightweight, breathable, waterproof!
Size: Large Color: Brown
This hat is prefect! It's relatively lightweight, especially considering the large brim and all the hardware. Completely waterproof as well. Works great keeping water or sun off my head & neck. Considering how waterproof it is, it also doesn't get too hot on my head. I'd say this hat is primarily for protection from precipitation. It keeps your head protected from the sun, but there are better sun hats out there. It's breathable, but there are cooler hats available. This hat does a great job keeping your head dry, while also being relatively light & cool. ... show more

  • I Love It!
Size: Medium Color: Sage
Worth every penny! I just needed to find the correct color and size. I settled on the OD Green one in size M. My head is approximately 22-221/2”. I liked the Mustard/Curry yellow one but it’s wrong for my skin tone & Large is too big. Thank You Outback for offering such a high quality item on Amazon. It’s comfort and breathe ability make it the ideal and best sun/gardening hat I’ve had in years. ... show more

  • Great piece of kit!
Size: X-Large Color: Sage
I wasn't super enthused about the color, at first- but when you have a grape the size of mine, you take what you can find. The color has grown on me now that I've worn it, though. The fit- runs about accurate- so my 24.25" head is a bit of a squeeze into the hat, but not to an untoward degree. It will loosen with wear, and use of a hat jack. DON'T let this dissuade you- there's nothing wrong with the product, there's something wrong with my head! It's freakishly large! The hat arrives somewhat tacky- the oilskin treatment isn't fully absorbed into the material. A few minutes in a 150deg oven and it's completely dry on the surface. It has decent waterproof tendencies as delivered, for oilskin- that isa to say it has excellent waterproof qualities for a consumer good. A second coat of Duxbak or Sno-Seal applied and then 5 minutes in that 150deg oven will make it have amazing waterproof qualities. The hat is similar to other vendors' "Aussie" hats (like the Tilley, the DP Aussie, JHats' Aussie, et al), but with the addition of a fore-and-aft chin cord (locks under your chin and under the back of your head- the hat isn't going anywhere!)and snaps on BOTH sides of the brim (seriously, why would you only put a snap on the one side on anything other than an Australian Army slouch hat- and it better be a genuine Akubra!) Once you've got the oilskin treatment cooked in fully (via the oven, a hair dryer, or use), the material gets this wonderful "lived in" mottling to it, just like all oilskin does. Yet another reason to love the material! I'm not a fan of hat pins, especially those with the maker's mark on them- but the "Outback" pin actually looks quite sharp. Good thing, too- it's got a rather stout penetration of the material, so you're kinda stuck with it. It's so nice, though, that I wouldn't mind it on some of my other hats (and god have I got hats... I'm a bald guy, family history of skin cancer, and my best friend just got diagnosed with skin cancer.. I've bought 5 hats this month, since it's so hard to find ones that fit!)., Best of all, my price with shipment on this hat was less than the price of the hat alone at many vendors. Oh, and shipment was reasonable, too... Let's talk about shipment. I'll be honest, I got a little irate with them (MY fault, not theirs). Sent off a nastygram this morning (at 3 am... yeah, I'm a nightowl) after 3 business days of not seeing the hat indicate shipped. I received a reply at 805 their time (can't get much more prompt than replying first thing when you step in the door while coffee's still brewing!) stating the hat had already shipped, here's the tracking number, and oh yeah- it's being delivered today. Well, wow.... there goes all my bluster and preaching about taking forever to get my hat to me... very sorry, and thank you for the effort! Only one problem- and I certainly can't fault them as they're not Amazon so can't engage in the Prime program... they do take swapouts within 90 days for resizing, or refund. But you'd have to pay for the return shipment. I was concerned that the hat wouldn't fit, and then I'd be in another $20 for shipment of this hat back, and the new one back to me. In that case I'd have given the hat to my son and called it done. I can't fault them for this, can't expect them to eat half the price of the hat on return shipments. My only suggestion to improve the product lies directed toward Outback Trading Company: "Make these in XXL! Lots of gargantuan-gourded gents want this hat and can't wear it! It's the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5!" ... show more

  • All the features I am looking for for an adventure hat
Size: Medium Color: Field Tan
Haven’t used it yet but was looking for a safari hat and found all the features very apt—- breathable, sun protection crushable/ packable, sweat wicking, keep cool in hot weather, rainproof, chin strap, while looking sharp instead of frumpy/ sloppy. Vendor also patient as we figure out our sizing. Medium still a bit large but using 2 3M hat adjusting strips made it fit perfectly without slipping. Fast delivery. Thank you! ... show more

  • Quit looking, buy this hat...
Size: Medium Color: Brown
This is a very light weight hat that fits comfortably on your head and was true to size. I appreciate the details like the side snaps to hold up the brim and the fact that the brim is slightly larger (to better shade and to deflect water when it is raining). The best part for me is the straps go under the chin and behind the head to keep the hat from blowing off in inclement weather. When not in use just put them into the hat, put it on your head and you won't even know the straps are there. Like any guy, I had to test this hat out as soon as the first rainy/windy day came about. No water dripped down the back of my neck, the hat stayed secure on my noggin and in a moderate wind I did not need the straps at all. The hat does get slightly warm in direct sunlight, but no more so than a typical patrol cap or baseball cap. I will definitely buy this hat again for gifts and highly recommend it. ... show more
