Mens Seattle Sombrero

Keep that sun at bay with this award-winning sombrero-style hat. Outdoor Research's Seattle Sombrero brings moisture-managing, waterproof Gore-Tex to keep your pate feeling cool when you're nabbing a fish for dinner or trekking your way to the top of another fourteener.

Cotton hats are soggy, sweat-stained, and more or less impractical when the sun or rain really hit hard. Nylon hats are just plain uncomfortable. But the Seattle Sombrero, with its 3-layer 70D Taslan Gore-Tex crown, gives the comfort and utility you need for extreme weather conditions. Waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex works to keep torrents out of your hair, and the foam-stiffened nylon brim keeps sun and water out of your eyes. Its brushed tricot lining eliminates scalp itch on those dry days. When you don't need the full brim, secure it to the sides of the Seattle Sombrero with hook and loop tabs, and if the wind's mellow, the chin cord is removable to use when the gale really picks up. The Seattle Sombrero is also lightweight and nearly indestructible, great for those long backpacking trips or just lazing away on the beach.
