Review on 🧒 Outdoor Research Kid's Rambler Sun Hat by David Plunkett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Believe the hype! Waterproof to boot!

UPDATE: The little one is now 5.5 years old so almost 2.5 years later he still wears this hat almost every time we spend a lot of time outside. For us, that's a ton. The edge is still in great shape, it survived SO. Aside from his puddle sweaters, no other worn baby thing has received as much favor, abuse, love, and time from him as this hat. Just buy this for your kid. You will not regret it. So if you're looking for a versatile baby hat that will cover your feet in wet, dry, windy and very hot weather, this is your chicken dinner winner. I have included the size labels that came with it as well as the hat itself as many of the reviews I read were conflicting or confusing. I look forward to all of our future adventures with this hat and rest assured it is covered! Khaki is great too. Something like a grayish khaki color that suits everyone. I tried several other baby hats before settling on this one. We live in Florida, it's VERY HOT there. And wet. We needed a lightweight, waterproof cap that offered adequate protection without being bulky or bad looking as the Dinosaur Park Ranger look was becoming very important. I love that there is a loop that goes around the neck including a pull tab at the top of the left ear which doesn't come off very easily but would if forced to. Most of the kids hats I found had velcro closures or didn't have this feature at all. We also love that the head size is adjustable! This is perfect for my almost 3 year old. But can pull up in the wind to help or just improve the fit (he likes it a little looser). And water simply rolls off ALL aspects of this hat. Finally, the brim can get wet, but it won't get in his eyes, and the brim is flexible yet durable so they don't smack his face like other bucket hats we've tried. When carried in a car seat/stroller the brim will flatten but it is still a little uncomfortable for the wearer. While I wasn't very happy that I spent almost twice as much on this hat as most of these kids hats at Revain, I would happily pay again after seeing this piece in action during windy, hot and humid downpours .here in FL summer.

Pros
  • WATER-RESISTANT MATERIAL: This lightweight kids' sun hat weighs just 2.4 ounces and is made from 100% supplex nylon with a plain weave. This hat is easy to wash after a hard day of play and easy to pack away too!
Cons
  • Available in white only.
