Sunbriolet Sun Hat

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I wore the Outdoor Research Sombriolet Sun Hat on a multi-day river trip last summer and it was the right call every single day. The wide brim kept the sun off my face and neck during long hours on the water, and the moisture-wicking headband meant I was never dealing with sweat dripping into my eyes during the hike back to camp. The chin strap held it in place every time the wind picked up on the open stretches."

Some of the best days happen entirely outdoors, the kind where the sun is relentless and the hours disappear without warning. The Outdoor Research Sombriolet Sun Hat was made for exactly those days, whether you are floating a lazy river, trekking a dusty trail, or navigating a crowded market somewhere far from home.

The foam-stiffened wide brim spans three to three and three quarter inches to keep sun off your face, neck, and shoulders when the UV index climbs, and the UPF 50+ rated nylon and polyester blend gives you real protection without the weight of a heavier hat. A mesh-lined crown and moisture-wicking headband pull heat and sweat away from your head so you stay cooler and more comfortable through the long middle hours of the day. Brim piping adds wind resistance to keep the hat where you put it, and the chin strap gives you a backup plan when things get breezy. It floats too, which is exactly the kind of detail you appreciate the moment you actually need it.
