Just received mine. I ordered a S/M size in black. The small is a bit too snug for my head unfortunately. Anyone willing to trade for a medium? Any colour?
I have OR's Seattle Sombrero--similar to this, but with a broader brim. It almost eliminates the need for an umbrella for quick jaunts in light to medium rain. Whichever brand you chose, they're much better than a ball-cap in any mix of rain.
RayFRight, but the Seattle Sombrero has Gore-Tex, which this hat seems not to. And therefore would presumably be prone to wetting out in prolonged rain, although it might be more breathable and cooler when it's not raining.
I'd also like to know the size of the brim; this style of hat is indeed much better than a ballcap but wider brims make the hat even better, and my best rain hat has a rear brim that droops downward (sort of like Sherlock Holmes' deerstalker hat, but longer and waterproof) providing even better rain protection.
mkt42Well the Seattle Sombrero is twice the price of this hat (its been offered here before). I'm on my second one, and I wouldn't consider this an equivalent replacement. But if price is a concern, this will get you from the car to the liquor store, while keeping your head reasonably dry. And isn't that the important thing?
You know, I mean, the liquor store?
Responding to a post that has been deleted. Sizing as follows: S/M 6 7/8 - 7 1/8, M/L 7 1/4- 7 1/2, XL/XXL 7 5/8-7 7/8. This from the Marmot site. Also note that the site has the Steel and Slate colors for $24. Other colors for more. Shipping is free from Marmot, but shipping from Massdrop was reasonable, (US ), so Massdrop price was good and reasonable shipping date.
