Awsome hat. (5/5) | Dec 28, 2007 | John Page | Plain City Ut US |

Today more than ever, you should be protecting yourself from the Suns damaging rays. I spend almost all of my time outdoors, whether it be workin or floating down one of my favorite "riverz". The "Riverz Scout" fits the bill for Sun protection with it's very wide brim, it is light weight and has good ventilation. On very hot days don't be afraid to dunk it in the river for added cooling. The hat is very durable too ("Techstraw"), I have washed the sweat out of mine a few times with a wash mit and light soap, let it dry and it is good as new, also retains it's shape. This is the most stylish hat around today, wait a minute why am I telling everyone this? If the word gets out then everyone is gonna be wearing one. Please disregard everything mentioned above!!! J/K very awsome hat. |

Love it (5/5) | Dec 29, 2007 | Roland McCarter | Sequim WA US |
| Great outdoor hat, especially for sun sensitive people like me. It isn't affected by water; it bounces back when crushed or folded. I have the Delta by the same manufacturer (more narrow brim). | ||||

Great outdoor hat! (5/5) | May 13, 2008 | Wm. Tom Davis, OSA | San Diego or Chicago CA US |
| They are not kidding about this terrific hat. Awesome protection from the sun; Very comfortable, light, cool, and good looking; works great in any water environment. Mine loves to go fly fishing, to the beach, for long walks in any kind of weather, plein air painting, casual strolls or hikes in the country and a good jam session anytime. Care and feeding is minimal. I recommend this coconut protector highly! | ||||

Riverz Scout (5/5) | Jun 9, 2008 | Betsy Barker | Stamford CT US |
| I LOVE this hat. It fits perfectly. I have a boatman friend who has owned a Riverz hat for years. His hat still looks brand new after many river trips, which is what convinced me to own one myself. | ||||

Great! (5/5) | Jul 25, 2008 | Ray Johnson | Provo UT US |
| This is one great hat. I usually buy a new straw hat each year but doubt I will have to buy another hat next year or for many years to come. Hat is stiff enough to withstand Wyoming wind but feels good on your head. Wide brim keeps the sun off. I am most pleased I found it | ||||

Found it at last (5/5) | Sep 6, 2012 | High Wall | Yukon Ok US |
| I've been looking for this hat for hours. My son has my original and I'm on my second hat. My son's hat, after several years of being laid on the brim instead of the crown, has had the brim gone slack near the crown. He needs a new hat and a search of Orvis where I bought the first two shows they no longer sell it. This is a great sun hat and after wearing one for several years I am fully satisfied. If you are looking for a hat to wear in high wind areas like where I live in Oklahoma this may not be the hat for you. The brim is not stiff enough to keep from folding up in high winds. On days when this is a problem I'll wear a stiff straw hat. | ||||

Still a great hat after 5 years! (5/5) | Nov 23, 2012 | Dave in SC | |

I was buying this hat for a friend and thought I'd leave a review. I've had this guy like 6 years, wore it fishing, outdoors, generally a lot. Traveled with it and packed it in suitcases, etc. and it never lost its shape. It is the bomb. Looks great, super durable, feels comfortable and is pretty adjustable, so a close-enough sizing will get you to a comfy hat. The sweat band is great and makes the hat very comfortable to wear all the time. The tether/drawstring will cinch up in the back, out of the way. I loved this feature and it was a huge selling point for me. I got my hat dirty a lot. I just rinsed it with a hose, scrubbed with dish soap on a sponge, rinsed again and it was good as new. The synthetic fibers this hat is made out of made this possible. Want a great fishing hat/outside hat? get this. You wont be disappointed. |

Looks good, does it job. (4/5) | Aug 1, 2008 | Thomas Peña | Albuquerque NM US |
| This is my second Riverz Scout hat. I am an avid fly fisherman, part-time guide and instructor at the local university. The first hat had served me well; it has been a couple of trips on carribean flats searching bonefish, high mountain streams various times looking for cutthroat trout and on the Laguna Madre casting to redfish. It wears well, looks good and gives me protection from the sun. The first hat I left in the back seat of a car and now adores the wall with a bunch of fly rods in S. Texas. The second hat is on its way with mulituble trips to fishing excursions here and shortly to other fishing destinations. | ||||

| Great hat for sun protection and built in chin strap and being washable and it floats. Love the hat for sun protection. The only problem I have had the head band buckle is plastic not metal and the buckle has broken after hardly being used. | ||||
