How is this as a rain hat?

I wore this on the Camino de Santiago. It went through rain and hail. BUT you should know that I wore it with the rain poncho over all, and mainly the front brim's job was to keep the water (and the hail) off of my glasses and face. It did well at that job. If I had worn it without the poncho, though, the wind would have flipped the brim all over the place and much of my face and neck would have been wet. HTH!

I have not used it for rain myself but the person who recommended it to me had and said it worked great for rain. I cannot see any reason it would not as the material is thick and certainly seems like it would not let water through.

This is meant to be a play thing. I would not rely on this to stay dry in the rain.

I wouldn't use it as a rain barrel, it would leak because you assemble it therefore it is not 100% airtight.

Like a sunshade, rain runs off but still drips in heavy down pours. Would not want to leave it down if you are not around, wind could take it. But its a great way to get on shade, for not a lot of money.

It is really adaptable (it would probably fit you well). It's a good hat, but it won't protect you if the sun comes sideways. I also think you can find prittier hats for women.

I wouldn't swim in it, but rain isn't too bad. You'll need wig shampoo to wash it, and just follow the instructions on the bottle.

Yes. I have one. It is the best hat ever made, and it's durable, yet malleable. Useful and highly adaptable to environmental conditions.

I think it is good quality and it's heavier than most lightweight jackets or ponchos. It is not lined, just the shell and I think I was picturing it as more of a coat type rather than just a rain jacket...duh, we purchased a rain suit...haha. But my husband loves it and he thinks it's better than he imagined and exactly what he was looking for. I feel it could tear if you snagged it, but not likely from just putting it on and functioning in the suit doing normal things.

It's not bad. It's a rainfall style shower head so it's not meant to have a lot of pressure. It could be a little stronger but I like it a lot

It's really not made for rain, but it will keep out a light shower & provide at least a bit of protection. It gets hot, so place it in the shade if possible.

I like the hat a lot. It seems to hold up very well. Frankly I haven't washed it yet...good question.

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!

Yes it is. I had it out in hard rain and the underneath remained dry. The black net part at the top allows the rain to come in windy weather.

I've only used it in a light drizzle, and it worked fine. I wouldn't recommend it for a heavy rain because it is made of a cloth blend and probably wouldn't repel water very well. This will work fine in light rains, though.

It is ok for short times in rain. I ride a motorcycle with it and it soaks through pretty quick in moderate rain. I.m not super impressed with the jacket overall.
