Richard Lyon testing out the Adventure Hat.

“Fit is great, thanks to the adjustment feature of the Adventure Hat.  It’s easy, so easy that I can now do it one-handed, to loosen the fit when I’m walking through a dense forest or the wind dies down, which allows a bit more circulation around the crown of the hat to help the perspiration evaporate and cool me down a bit.  It’s likewise a one-handed job to cinch the stampede strap (chin cord) when the wind threatens to separate hat from owner.  The Adventure Hat’s large bill and brim can act as a wind-catcher, making manual adjustment of either the headband or strap a somewhat frequent activity.

I really like the mesh panels, which I’ve found correspond nicely to the (few) parts of my head that still have reasonably normal-length hair.  The panels allow ventilation to keep my head relatively cool and dry without risking sunburn or requiring application of sunblock.  Good ventilation held true even in hot weather when hiking uphill with a 45-lb (20 kg) pack.  Much of our South Fork hike route traversed a large burn area, where forest cover varied from slim to none.  To my mind, after blocking the sun breathability is the real test of a sun hat, and the Adventure Hat passed with flying colors.  The mesh doesn’t get all the credit, as the gossamer crown fabric has breathed extremely well.

As for blocking the sun, the wide bill and brim on the Adventure Hat do as good a job at this as any hat I’ve worn.  That can be seen in the photo at right, taken at noon near the Natural Bridge on the Boulder River.  All my face is in shadow, typical of all times it was protected by the Adventure Hat.  The extra inch or so (2-3 cm) over other hats hasn’t drooped or otherwise interfered with visibility.  With a minor adjustment I can turn the bill slightly off-center to block sunlight from a particular angle.

From experience with similar hats I feared…”
