From Campmor:
"Tested in some of the heartiest downpours the world has to offer, the Outdoor Research "Sea Somb", Seattle Sombrero is a rainy day classic. The shell offers waterproof protection and the brushed lining manages perspiration. The shaped brim directs water away from your head when it's gushing. Waterproof/breathable, 3-layer 70D Taslan Gore-Tex crown, seam taped. Foam-stiffened brim floats. Brushed tricot crown for comfort and moisture management. Internal Cinch-Band adjustment. Color-matching hook/loop tabs on brim and dome. Removable chin cord with cordlock. Avg. wt. 3.2 oz. Import."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Outdoor Research Seattle Sombrero is a burly full-coverage hat designed for extremely wet climates. In Seattle, there are two types of weather. It's either raining, or it's about to start raining. The Seattle Sombrero's waterproof breathable Taslan Gore-Tex to keep the downpour from soaking your head. Its soft brushed-tricot lining wicks moisture, and the chin strap is removable. The foam-stiffened brim on this Outdoor Research hat offers full protection from rain or sun, directing water away from your head when it's really coming down. And if things get really wet--like, you fall into the river you're rafting--the sombrero's foam brim floats. Maybe better than your boat."

"Great hat, but very warm. Too hot for most summers. Would still carry if cold evenings w/rain were suspected. Very packable. If looking for lighter material, look towards the Nimbus, that is without the fleece lining."
