Would this be a good hat for hiking? Am torn between outdoor reseach hat and this one

This is a great hat for hiking! The adjustable chin strap keeps it on your head in the windiest conditions and it repels water nicely during the rain. If you go swimming in it or need to wash it, it dries quickly. It packs flat, too. I have bought many hats for hiking. I always come back to this one. Its very durable, too. I have had mine for at least 7 years and it still looks like it is new despite many washes and much abuse.

Yes... in cooler climates it is ideal. It is a heavy duty hat, therefore might not be a cool as other hats.

This is a great hat for hiking! I've worn it on trips from the Arizona mountains to the pyramids of Egypt. Stays on even in the wind.

This is one of the best hats for hiking. From South Africa to the Galápagos, this hat has been my faithful companion. Surprisingly, the times when I've really appreciated having this hat on was it when was raining during a hike. Wearing under the hood of my rain jacket made sure the hood stayed always around my face and the hat acted as a huge visor. This of course is mentioned in the manual that comes with your hat.

This is a fabulous hat. I've worn it hiking in the Sonoran Desert, the Appalachian Mountains and many places in between. I have nothing but praise for Tilley Hats.

Hmmm. Hat should fit ok, but it's not going to look authentic, in my opinion. I purchased as a child's toy and it was ok fot that, for the price. It is a thin mateial (probably some sort of cardboard) covered in a thicker felt, with a satin type band. Ours is also not cylindrical as it tapers in just a little at the top. All in all it's not a bad hat and it will depend on how authentic you need it need it to look, and from what distance! :)

I think this hat can be worn by either sex. I am really happy with the hat that I purchased, (Fatigue color), I really like how it looks and how it functions on the trail. It has been pretty durable so far, holds up well in the wind. Jim G.

Not really. Perhaps I just stuffed it in instead of fold it nicely. Try it out by folding it nicely? Other than this, its a good functional looking hat! I recomend it.

I would say yes -- because I happen to have a really big noggin. If you have a head the size of Charlie Brown's or Frankenstein's monster -- or SpongeBob, you might have an issue. But the TYR cap is stretchy and has a lot of "give" to it.

Hello John,This is a heavy tarp; not appropriate for backpacking. I could see using it camping out of a car or truck. It is meant for outdoor use. It has a bit of an odor, that waterproofed canvas smell. It's a quality, heavy weight tarp. I play ice hockey and shoot into it for practice. It will take a fair bit of abuse. Good luck,Gary Schoepfel

I wear a size 7 1/4 hat. It was actually a little tight for me at first. It seems to have pretty good battery life. And sound quality is pretty good.

Maybe not. It's heavy for it's size. I think there are better option, go to an outdoor hiking gear store and try some on to get the best fit.

It will fit a hard hat but I recommend the Black Diamond Polar Icon; it is waterproof and has adjustable lumen output and uses normal batteries; it is designed for outdoor use such as mountain hikiing

I love these hats. We certainly use them poolside and at the beach. The chinstrap makes it virtually impossible for the hat to blow off and it dries quickly. We haven't had any trouble with the hats getting dirty. That being said, I don't know that the hat would hold up well if it were going to be drenched all of the time. The brim might get pretty floppy. It is a great way to protect from the harmful rays of the sun!

If you're young and strong and on a budget, it would be good. It is larger and heavier than it should be for backpacking. If you're doing a long trip, weight is a concern or you want more room in your pack then it's not ideal.

I am not familiar with the 'sundancer' hat but if you are looking for a hat to completely shade your head, face and neck, the 'sunday afternoon sport hat will do the job. I wear one every day I'm out in the sun doing yard work, gardening, etc and am very pleased with it. It also works quite well for outdoor activities such as fishing , kayaking, canoeing, etc.

I think it might be too big for a very small head as it's a bit loose on mine and I run closer to large. There's a similar one, Columbia Women's Global Adventure hat, that comes in sizes. Only thing is it costs almost twice as much.

I am sorry. I bought the hat to wear during hunting season in VT. Rifle hunting hasn't started yet....so I haven't worn it yet. I am not a hunter but need to be seen.
