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!

It works perfect when it raining out. Just make sure you have it blowing out and not in. I've had this a year now and I love it.

The back of it is made of neoprene or something like it so I'm not totally sure, but I personally would use it in a light rain!

So far it has been very good at that, i live in the NW and there is no rain cover. I have used a lot of packs as a guide,military and Le it is a good one.

Ahh I know it will tolerate some rain, but it's not water proof. If you have it set to intake, it will suck a little bit of the rain in, but be ok.

No, NOT rain proof, Maybe a very light rain. sprinkle that is. This is a light duty shade product. I do love it though. The setup really does need two people. The clamps are amazing. VERy strong and well build. Pretty heavy too, most of the weight is the clamps.

IT's all screen and light weight so I'd consider it light use for rain... I love it for shade. I'm in California and use it at swim meets for sun shade and hanging by pool meets. Perfect for that. Would be good for camping for a place to eat or relax in bug free... I really love how quick it is to set up. takes just a few minutes. Well constructed.

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.

Oh yeah. It think it would work just fine for your costume. My favorite costume is "partly cloudy with a chance of showers" with surprise spray bottle

Michael, this is mesh and won't stop the rain. It's great as a sun blocker.

I would say water repellant. I don't know that it will withstand pounding rain but a little drizzle I think it would be fine.

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.

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

it is lined nylon so it should be ok in a drizzle. My thinking is that it won't do in full on rain for long time. Very light weight, I use it to carry a jacket, hat etc for overseas travel.
