Helios Sun Hat
That small, exposed piece of scalp on the back of your head serves as a very painful reminder that you're going bald after a long day out in the sun—save yourself the burn and unwanted reality check with the Outdoor Research Helios Sun Hat. Made with Outdoor Research's SolarShield material, the Helios offers UPF 50 sun protection and is designed with a wide brim to effectively shield your face from the sun's rays. The elastic drawcord keeps the hat glued to your melon when you're floating down a windy river, and the adjustable chin strap serves as a fail safe, just in case you start to feel the Helios peel back from your head under pressure from heavy-handed winds.

Great hat. Love it on the water
I use this hat when I take out my canoe or go fly fishing. often times I won't realize I'm actually sweating because the wicking function is THAT good. The ONLY thing I would change if I could would be if the fabric could resist or wouldn't take a memory quite so readily.

Comfortable light weight fabric, but holds it shape. Adjustable sizing keeps the hat securely in place.

Great sun protection for kayaking on the lake
This hat provides the right amount of sun protection out on the lake kayaking. It fits snug enough and with the chin sinch cord I feel confident it wont blow away on a windy lake Ontario day.

Awesome
The brim is stiffer than my Columbia sun hat, which makes a huge difference in the wind.

Brim won't lay flat...looks ridiculous
I like the weight of this hat and I bought one for my husband and one for me. His hat looks fine on him and the brim lies flat, but no matter what I attempt on my hat, (blocking, bending, stretching), I can't get the brim to lie flat and the hat just looks ridiculous. I think there is something wrong with the way my Helios was made. I plan to return it and get another one.

Great addition to my hiking kit
Had been looking for a sun hat and this ticked all the boxes. compact enough to take backpacking but I find myself using it to mow the lawn, hot sunny days on the sail boat or just out walking the dog. Light weight, durable and wicking. Has held up very well to the abuses I've put it through.

Helios Sun Hat
This is the most versatile sun hat I have owned. It is my go to for mowing the lawn to beach and/or mountain vacations. I have two different colors. The hat is well made, and comfortable.
