AWHA Souwester, Rain Hat - Waterproof Cap with Wide Brim and Earflaps

Quality construction, good design. Material is fully waterproof. For small & medium sized heads. May be snug for a larger head or lots of hair.

I deliver mail on foot in my city. I am extremely pleased with this hat. Very high quality. I wear it with my rain cape. The back of hat is long and directs the rain nicely away from face. Very warm. The material on the inside keeps head very warm. For winter use. Any other season it holds in too much heat and I actually get too hot. Holds in heat very well. Visibility in dark conditions. I can't comment on the breathable aspect because I do walk 10 to 13 miles and my body does produce a lot of heat after a while. And I don't want to complain or steer people away because it really is a wonderfully made hat and that keeps head and ears covered and warm. Light weight, soft. It doesn't have any weird smell. Soft chinstraps with wide straps. Very pleased to add this too my winter gear equipment.

This hat is perfect for the rainy coastal weather. I have glasses, and the hat protects them from getting raindrops on them from the rain. Just what I hoped it would do. The hat is lined with fabric, which is perfect for keeping your head warm and dry. Having the draw string is easily adjustable and helpful when those wind gusts come along and try to pull it off your head. It seems to be well-made and sturdy.

This hat seems to be the perfect weight and design. I usually wear a 7.5 hat and this rain hat fits great. It has a sloping back so rain won’t run down your back. I like the front cord so it won’t blow off on windy days. I do need to flip the front rim up in order to have good visibility. Good purchase for the right price.

I have been looking at getting this hat for quite a while and when the opportunity presented itself, I took it and am very happy that I did. In terms of providing as good a review as possible, I will be listing the Pros & Cons but please note I am very happy with the hat and only dinged it 1 star for a 4 out of 5 stars rating due to the Cons... Pros: Yellow color improves visibility Completely Waterproof Extended Brim for complete neck rain protection Fleece Earflaps that can easily be tucked away The chin strap keeps the hat in place in stormy windy weather A very light hat that is easily foldable for easy portability in various items, like pockets, bags, and backpacks, or easily stored in cars, trucks, boats, etc. Cons: The front brim could be longer, as when the weather becomes stormy and extremely windy the brim is too short to cover when rain comes down at a slanted angle The fleece earflaps would be better if they incorporated an extended drop-down fleece back brim like some hats and golf caps have to provide additional warmth and wind protection to the back of the neck as well as it currently covers the ears A fluorescent Safetly Lime or Safety Orange colors would be more highly visible in bad weather and would be deeply appreciated to have as an option Overall this is a very good hat that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good storm hat.

Best rain hat I have had; Heavy rains in San Francisco so far and it does its job. Not only that it is very fashionable and I get compliments on it all the time. I also wear it on sunny days.. The yellow is vibrant and I wear black and it is a good alert for the traffic to see me walking on the street.

Best clothing item I have purchased since moving to the Pacific Northwest. Easy to tuck into my bag. Lightweight, completely waterproof, soft warm lining, and I'm easy to spot in a downpour. Keeps all of me much drier.

I like the fleece lined interior and ear flaps for a little warmth in wet and windy weather. Also, it’s a reasonable size and isn’t so large that it doesn’t fit—a problem I tend to have with one-size hats. It seems well made and has a sturdy chin strap, and can be easily folded for packing.

Super chapeau pour qui ne peut porter de parapluie, il couvre bien la nuque et la matière dans laquelle il est fait est de grande qualité. De plus si la pluie est accompagnée par le vent, les lanières permettent de garder son chapeau sur la tête !

Good fit

Regalo per mio marito che lo ha trovato comodo da indossare anche con i capelli folti e pratico, riparando effettivamente dalla pioggia anche il collo. Utili il laccio per il vento ed i paraorecchi interni per vento e freddo.

Arrived sooner than expected. Fits perfectly. Love the colour. Keeps my hair dry and does not ruin its style

Wirklich prima bei heftigem Regen. Durch ein leichtes Innenfutter bleibt der Kopf warm aber nicht zu warm. Der Kopf bleibt trocken. Da der Hut eine Schnur hat fliegt er bei Wind nicht vom Kopf. Hat Ohrlaschen hält also auch die Ohren warm. Hinten ist der Rand breiter, sodass das Regenwasser nicht in den Nacken läuft.
