Professional Equipment??? My wet head says NOT!!!

Rating: rated 1 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $15 to $20 with shipping

Professional Equipment??? My wet head says NOT!!! Thank Jesus I didn’t wear it in freezing rain!  In light rain 1 hour or less it may help but for the most part this hat is not waterproof.

I am sending it back to get my money back. I work outdoors in heat, cold and rain for 4 to 8 hours. This hat did help keep a good field of vision with my parka or PVC hood  up over it, but it would eventually saturate and let the water in.

Unfortunately I work in freezing rain and getting wet is not good. I had to go buy an Outdoor Research hat which has worked well for me so far to keep my head Outdoor Research DRY and not Proquip WET. 

My suggestions after a little research and reading of online reviews were L.L.Bean Waterproof Baseball Cap, Outdoor Research Revel Baseball, Oil cloth hats, and Men's Downpour Baseball Cap had the best review.
