Great fit!
I bought this for my husband on the advice of Wirecutter. They are so dependable and they got it right! My husband is a hiker and a sailor so he experiences heavy winds. He loves it! He has a large head and this is perfect for him because it is adjustable. It is lightweight and wicks away the sweat. The brim gives enough coverage to block the sun and because it is so durable he can stash it in his pocket or suitcase. I also love the fact that he does not look like an old man (just dad vibes). It is just the right shape. I highly recommend this hat!

Super lightweight and protective from sun
The Columbia Bora Bora Hat has quickly become one of my go-to accessories for outdoor adventures! Whether I’m hiking, fishing, or just out in the sun, this hat provides the perfect blend of comfort and protection.The lightweight, breathable fabric makes it super comfortable to wear for long periods. The Omni-Shade UPF 50 sun protection is a game changer, keeping me safe from harmful UV rays while I’m outside. Plus, the moisture-wicking sweatband is great for keeping my forehead dry, even on the hottest days.One of the best features is the adjustable chin strap, which ensures the hat stays on securely, even on windy days. The wide brim offers excellent shade, and the ventilation holes help keep my head cool and well-ventilated.Not only is it functional, but the hat also looks great and has a casual yet sporty style that matches with any outdoor outfit. The Columbia Bora Bora Hat is a must-have for anyone who spends time outside and wants both style and sun protection.

Good hat, but still need to wear sunscreen on face!
Wore this hat while backpacking the Camino for a month. The hat was good, stayed on really well and because it was so lightweight, it didn't feel like it was going to fly off even in really windy weather. Unfortunately, the bottom half of my face would still get sunburnt even if I wore the hat for the entire day. Even though I couldn't feel the sun, I would find sunburns from under my eyes to my chin if I forgot to reapply. But the hat itself was breathable and seemed to do well protecting my neck and the top hat of my face. I honestly would buy again, it was a decent hat and was perfect for putting in my backpack, it folded easily with no creases. Color was accurate and is adjustable around your head and under your chin, so it should fit pretty much anyone.

It does the job, but it's really ugly, in my opinion.
I love the comfortability of this hat and it's use for sun and rain protection. However, it is not in any way stylish. I have gone back to my Indiana Jones type hat so I actually look good when hiking, ha ha. If this doesn't matter to you, this is a great hat.

Light weight, airy, adjustable size
I love this sun hat. It packs flat in a suitcase. It gives good coverage from the sun but also allows a bit of airflow so that my head doesn't heat up too much. I like the chin strap for windy days. It's a good color which goes with most of my walking and hiking clothes.

Nice lightweight hat
This is the second sun hat I have purchased. I bought his full price, not as a reviewer. It is a lightweight hat with a floppy brim. I read some of the review of this product before buying it, and a few commented on being unhappy with the brim due to it being without structure. So I am noting here it is a floppy brim hat--like a fishing hat.It comes in a poly bag, which is no frills, but also keeps the cost down. So no problem there.Pros:LightweightCoolGood ventilation for the headWould be great for travel--backpacking, or anything where you wanted a hat and you would have to pack it. It does get a little crinkly, and if that bothers you, you could iron it on the lowest setting. They do not tell you to do that,so it would be at your own risk. But I did it and it worked fine with a cool iron.The size is adjustable, which is nice, as you can never really get an exact fit for your head unless you go get an expensive hat--so this is a good solution.Seems well made, good materials and well put together. Not a chintzy product.ConsNone really--provided you know what you are buying. It is a lightweight sun hat with a floppy brim.I am glad I got it and would do so again.

Great Hat!
Excellent hat! The first hat that kept my big head cool! I was outdoors all day, in the sun and it kept the sun off. Also, it looks like the company listened to the reviews as it was shipped in a box and kept its shape!
