Dutch Harbor Gear Men's Sou'Wester Hat Review

Customer Ratings:

I bought this hat because I needed a hat to go with the commercial fisherman's slicker I own. The hat far exceeds my expectations and friends make cracks about looking like the Gorton's Fisherman but there is a reason why off shore fishermen wear these. I live close to the coasts of Washington and Oregon and we recently had a storm with 114 mph wind gusts and over 7.5 inches of rain in half a day. My head remained dry as did my neck and eyeglasses due to the traditional design and modern materials. I did have to tie the chinstrap for the first time. I have worn it in other storms and stayed bone dry. After bluewater sailing where I routeinly had to put towels around my neck to catch water coming down my collar. I wish I had bought one years ago. Lastly, I have seen similar hats for over $140.00 online (check for yourself).

I purchase this hat for fishing. I wear a regular baseball cap under it and it works great. Order it a little larger if you plan to wear a cap under it.

Thanks to those who gave this hat the 5 stars it deserves as they convinced me to make this purchase. Completely worth the price, very well made. As previously stated, it will protect your eye glasses as well as the back of your neck, and has a comfy tie down that snuggly covers your ears if needed. I purchased an XL to accommodate a pony tail or having hair clipped up. Perfect. This is not a cutesy fashion statement hat, but it is a working style which states fairly well that the wearer is hardy and prepared. Umbrellas can flip around and turn inside out in the wind, let in blowing wind and rain, are tedious to tote around while you wait for the storm, and are easily forgotten somewhere (umm, by me anyway). so I'd rather have the hat with my nice slicker. VERY pleased with this purchase. In fact I'm going to purchase another in the event that I am in the company of someone wet and unhappy so I won't feel guilty.

Love it!! The quality is far better than I expected. I can either wear it as a rain hat or a sun visor. I would reccomend this to anyone who is looking for quality and need protection from the weather even wind.

Just what I was looking for.

But please know these run big, I am told because many wear them over hoddies, did know until it arrived. Had to exchange for next size down.
