Outdoor Research Sunbriolet Sun Hat Solid Khaki L, UPF 50+ breathable with floating foam brim

The Outdoor Research Sunbriolet Sun Hat in Solid Khaki (L) is a lightweight, breathable sun hat with UPF 50+ protection, a floating foam–stiffened brim, and adjustable fit for active outdoor use.

This hat combines technical materials and thoughtful details to keep sun exposure manageable without sacrificing breathability or packability. Built from a bluesign-approved nylon blend with recycled components under the brim, the Sunbriolet balances sun coverage and airflow with features like mesh crown panels, side vents, and a moisture-wicking TransAction headband. It’s designed for hikers, anglers, travelers, and anyone who needs reliable sun protection on the trail.

How does this hat handle sun protection and visibility?

The Sunbriolet offers UPF 50+ fabric and a consciously shaped brim to shield face and neck. A darker fabric under the brim reduces glare for clearer vision in bright conditions without adding bulk.

• UPF 50+ rated shell blocks a high percentage of UV rays
• 3.125” front and 4.125” back brim for extended coverage
• Dark under-brim fabric reduces reflected sunlight into the eyes

Will it stay comfortable and dry during extended use?

The hat prioritizes comfort with breathable mesh panels and quick-drying fabrics, plus a TransAction headband that wicks moisture away from skin. Venting and lightweight construction help maintain airflow on warm days so the hat feels less stifling during long outings.

• Mesh-lined crown and external breathable panels for airflow
• Quick-drying nylon/polyester blend and moisture-wicking headband
• Lightweight, floating foam-stiffened brim reduces weight on the head

How adjustable and packable is the fit for active use?

The Sunbriolet is built for on-the-move adjustments and easy stowage. A one-handed drawcord lets you tighten the fit quickly, and the removable chin cord secures the hat in windy conditions or can be removed for storage.

• One-handed drawcord adjustment for precise fit tuning
• Removable chin cord for wind security or compact packing
• Floating foam-stiffened brim maintains shape while remaining compressible

What durability and eco-conscious features does it include?

Materials were selected for performance and reduced environmental impact where possible. The shell and under-brim incorporate recycled nylon components, and the main shell is bluesign-approved, signaling attention to supply-chain and material standards.

• 89% nylon, 11% polyester shell with bluesign approval
• Under-brim uses 60% recycled nylon, 40% nylon for lower impact
• Embroidered Outdoor Research logo and robust construction for lasting wear
