Rated 5 out of 5 by JoRae Love the Gore-Tex Berry Pink Rain Hat!!
This hat just goes perfectly with the matching pink coat. Friends smile and say "How cute is that!" I wear it often, in all kinds of weather and it is neat how nicely it stows away! It is worth every penny that I paid for it, but I bought it in the spring before the great sale!

This hat is just what I was looking for - good sized brim, lays flat for packing, stylish (to me, although I'm sure I'll get some remarks...). The only color available when I ordered it was the bright pink, I would have preferred a tan or brown or even navy (that was why I gave it four stars). I have a small head but ordered the medium, and it fits perfectly, even with bad hair.

Love the hat. Have large head, it's comfy and adjustable, waterproof and lightweight. It's my second one as I checked the first one in a restaurant and never got it back!!!! Obviously someone else liked it too

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dlmert Great fit for Large Heads; Highly Recommend!
My husband's head is very large in circumference - so the "One Size Fits All" hats are usually too tight on him. Luckily, I came across this hat in an XL - and it fits great!! Highly recommended for anyone who has the same challenge!!
What goes without saying is that this hat is made of Gore Tex - and the snaps on the sides are a nice touch. Very good quality - highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Doninoly Does the job - Plus I don't look silly in it
Love this hat, plus having a BIG HEAD (full of brains), it is had to get a hat of any kind! This filled the bill and it is great with the Raincoat, that is the best one I've EVER purchased! Both are light weight, easy to carry .. and they "breathe" .. THANKS!

Rated 5 out of 5 by roosty Kayaking must
My husband and I went on a discovery kayak trip with Ll Bean just a few weeks ago in the rain. We kayak all the time at home but never in the rain. So it was a good thing the flagship store (one of our favorite places to shop whenever in Maine) was open cause it was a quick dash in before our 8:45 meeting. The hat was great, comfortable stylish and most of all it kept my head dry. It would have been a little miserable without it. I like the side snaps to convert the style. I'll be wearing this hiking too, great for rain or sun.

The hat is almost waterproof. Only letting a slight amount of moisture to penetrate. It is also llightweight, perfect for summer sun protection. My only regret is that I had to settle for the color black. If it was available in yellow or tan I'd rate it excellent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AyKayEs Glad I ignored
I almost didn't order this hat after reading other reviewers complaining about the way the chin tie worked. I'm glad I ignored them; I mean, I'm kind of persnickety too, but don't be ridiculous--the spongy connector works great, and together with the stretchy tie, it keeps this hat in place very well indeed. I think it's ingenious. And if it ever fails me, I'll return it and get a new one, but I don't think that will even happen.
But on to the hat. We finally got some rain here in drought country, and I've used it a handful of times since it arrived several weeks ago. I ordered two of these hats, one for my husband. We walk our dog four times per day, and I hate having to fight to keep a hood up or wrestle with an umbrella as I deal with the leash and poo bags and everything. Also, I wanted something for running errands when it is raining; again, I hate dealing with umbrellas when getting in and out of the car and such. I figured a rain hat was just the ticket and would provide better visibility than a hood, anyway. Well, I am sold. This hat is awesome. I didn't have any trouble keeping it on my head in the very gusty winds with the adjustable chin and head straps. Not only that, this hat didn't crush my hair badly at all (and here's a tip: if it's not windy and you carefully place it on your head without tightening, it doesn't mess your hair at all). My husband loves his, too, especially the way it keeps the rain from getting on his glasses.
Now, I think it's a cute hat, but then again, I wear huge sun hats every time I go out, too, and I don't care how it looks because I am going to protect my skin and hair from the sun no matter what. And let's face it, it's LL Bean. You're paying for function and practicality and quality, not style. So if you're wondering if this hat is stylish, well, it probably isn't. But I don't care.
I don't know that I would wear this hat if it was really hot outside (I suspect that it might be too hot for that), but otherwise, I am very happy that we bought these, and I look forward to using them for several years. Bring on the rain!

Rated 5 out of 5 by outdoorsylady Love this hat!
This is a great multi-purpose hat. I took it on a recent trip and used it every day and it still looks like new. Perfect as a sun protective hat and also was waterproof in the rain. It folds neatly in backpack, purse, or luggage and comes out looking fine. It is very light weight, the chin strap keeps it on in the wind and rain or can be tucked out of the way when not needed, the brim snaps up or use with the brim down for sun or rain protection.
