Review on πŸ‘’ Protective Outdoor Research Swift Sun Hat for All Sizes by Walter Velasquez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great hat. Well, most anyway.

After more than a decade in service, it's finally time to retire the last of my Columbia-style baseball caps. Unfortunately, they don't seem interested in making them like this anymore, so Outdoor Research got my $$ instead. When I got the first one I liked it so much that I ordered four more. All in all these are fantastic hats. However, I would like to point out the following problems. First, one of the five was poorly designed. Sewn on with hair sewn on slightly off-center, the bill has an odd curvature that requires daily adjustments to avoid looking like an idiot. Also, there are some issues with the clasp and strap at the back. As for the closure itself, I've found that when my otherwise messy hair grows to 1/8 inch, it sometimes gets snagged and pulls on the hair. I've found that they sometimes crawl out and need attention to get back in place. This can be solved by simply sewing the two layers together once you've found the right length.

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
