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.

It's a lightweight tent, but I don't think it's specifically designed for hiking. It's a 'stationary' tent. I've been camping with people with hiking tents and their tents were always sleeker in design and 'fit' for carrying. I use this tent for scout camping. I hope this helps.

I can wear the hat and it feels ok, the straps don't close very comfortably but I have a really round face. My husband has kind of a big head and it is very snug on him. It is very loose on my 6 year old son he keeps the straps closed so it doesn't fall off all the time. I think it will fit a small to average size adult head fine they just might want to leave the straps open.

A snug fit would be best for outdoors, if it is a bit large you could secure it with a few bungee straps.

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.

It didn't for me. I used it for playing golf in hot bright sunny weather. The mesh allow air flow but is high enough that when the sun moves the direct rays can't hit your scalp. I love the hat.

I wear a hat when I wear mine and have NO problems...I would say you should be fine...

This shirt is designed for warm weather, as it has many different ventilation flaps to help air circulate. It would make for a great hiking shirt on warm hot days, as it keeps you cool and does not hold any type of sweat. It is very thin and lightweight.

Kind of depends on your head size and how much hair you got... but I wear a Large in this helmet, and I haven't worn a ProFit hat in a while, but I wear a L/XL FlexFit baseball cap. The Large helmet fits perfectly and I never have issues with overheating, though I wouldn't recommend pedaling uphill with this on. Hope that helps!

I don't hike or backpack because of back problems so I can't speak to that. I bought it for summer wear only. Walking my dogs in the field when the temps are in the 80s and 90s, it is very light and comfortable. I don't think it would provide warmth in cold weather. I love it's lightness and would own more colors if I could get the size I want. I bought a size that is very large on me with the idea of using it as a beach cover-up.

Absolutely. Flat is best. I wouldn't fold the brim, but mine gets packed flat in a duffel bag on each fishing trip.

Eh... It depends. It would be great for hiking or being on foot in cold, windy weather. This question came at a good time. I just now walked through the door from a motorcycle ride. It's 12 degrees (F) here today. Around town, the product does very well. It's comfortable an my face stays warm. Above 40mph, the wind overcomes it and my face gets cold. I really love this thing, but if you're looking at sustained high/freezing winds, you may want something a bit more substantial.

I would say use this hat only if what you are hanging is very light, like small plastic spiders, or small plastic pumpkins, etc. It holds its form, but is somewhat pliable. Heavier objects would pull the brim down.

I have not used this light for hiking. I use it around the house, yard and for working on my car. The lamp has a single LED that's better for distance and a cluster of 3 LEDS that is better suited to area illumination. Both the Single and Cluster of 3 LEDs can be set to high or low brightness. The single LED on high reaches out to about 40 feet when it's very dark. It shines further but not bright enough to make out fine details. It's perfectly fine for me to use in the yard at night if I need something from my shed. Bright enough to see around me (I have a large yard) but not so bright that it blinds me when I look at something closer. I've been so pleased with this light that I purchased two more to keep in the cars. My only reservation with you using it for hiking is I assume you wouldn't actually be hiking in complete darkness. Dusk maybe? I don't know how much it would help when there is some ambient light. For use at a campground when it has gone complete dark I think it will be great.

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.

This is a SUNHAT not a rain hat. It is not waterproof ... Columbia make many hats some are waterproof, this is not but you can wring it out and it dries fast. It's for hot weather,strong sun and you can soak it and wring it out if it gets sweaty.

Personally would not recommend this one. This one runs small, is stiff, wouldn't breathe as you pointed out. I would suggest the women's style straw hat, it can be scrunched into a ball and come out great, it is very durable and it is unisex (looks good on a man or a woman), and it is breathable. Probably a better choice in the humidity.
