The Outdoor research Halcyon Sombrero is a very light, very packable hat with excellent sun protection. It even sheds water quite well. I took it on an eight day kayaking trip in Desolation Sound in British Columbia. I wore it most of the time and was extremely glad to have it. It is a one-size fits all design. I have a very large head and it fit perfectly. My younger sister, with a small head, had the same size and it did not look baggy or goofy. Snapping up the sides works well to stiffen the hat when it gets windy. The hat does not have vents, but the fabric is light and breaths well. Does heat up your gourd or make you extra sweaty. I have been working construction just out of yosemite for a month and wear the hat everyday. Would recommend it to any one looking for some practical sun coverage!
