Frogg Toggs Breathable Boonie Hat

If you have ever used the Frogg Toggs rain jackets (the actual full jacket or rain pants, not the cheaper lighter rain suit they sell as a set), this is made of the same material but thinner. I like it. It's very light and like the jackets does great repelling rain. I shared a concern with one of the other reviewers, that it wouldn't vent well in the heat. I'll post an update later after I test it more, but after getting the hat I was pleased that the material was thin so it already feels cooler on my head than my cloth boonie hat. And the best venting hats I've seen feature mesh or open areas on the top, so they wouldn't do well against rain. My existing cloth hat is fine for cool dry weather, but I wanted a hat versatile enough for heat, sun, cold, and rain, and this might be it. I like that there's an adjustable band for tightening the fit on your head, and also a chin strap to keep it fastened under heavy wind. One gripe: Amazon listed this when I bought it as Prime eligible, but I don't think it actually is. I ordered it at the same time as a bunch of other camping gear and most of it came in two days. The hat shipped from a different seller and arrived later. But the seller did pretty well shipping it quickly and it got here just a couple days later. Still, Amazon, you charge a fee for Prime, you should either uphold it or take this item off Prime status. UPDATE (30-May-2016): I took the hat with me on a short hike in 87F and humid weather. It doesn't really breathe much. I also tried to blow through the fabric from the inside of the dome area, and struggled to get any flow. But I'm not changing the rating because I think it's still great; crushable and water repellent, and the chin strap helped a lot with the wind. What I've accepted is that I'll ultimately end up using different hats for different situations; there is no perfect hat for all situations. This one is good for any wet weather and for sun. My old one is fine for cold dry weather. I'll probably need a vented third one for hot dry weather.

Nice hat. Cool camo

Einwandfrei!!👍

Der Hut macht was er soll. Er ist weitgehend wasserdicht. Lediglich bei starken Dauerregen dringt Feuchtigkeit durch die Nähte. Die Universalgröße ist für mich ideal (Umfang ca. 57 cm).

Cool in heat and waterproof,best of both worlds.
