- Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2017Size: One SizeColor: SageVerified PurchaseGreat Booney! Some time ago I purchased the Outdoor Research Men's Helios Sun Hat in Multicam. Though the Sun Hat was great, the material was heavy and therefore hot during the summer months. It is very durable but I should have ordered it one size larger. The materials are stiff and will not stretch or shrink.
When I ordered the Columbia Booney, I was looking for one that was made of lighter materials. I did not want to compromise on quality. I wanted a hat that was "crushable" and could be kept in a backpack, etc. I did not want it to lose its shape when stored. I ultimately based my decision on Columbia's reputation and the materials described. When it arrived I was not disappointed. It has been comfortable during hot days (blocking the sun while allowing the heat to dissipate). The brim of the hat is larger than some others I've seen. The brim is not as wide as the Helios. I find that it is a good compromise. The brim is wide enough to protect the wearer from the sun but not so wide as to obstruct vision while working.
The Columbia Booney has become my new favorite. I keep it in my work truck and use it while digging ditches, checking water meters, and other activities. One other thing. It was cheaper than my Outdoor Research hat. Both are great but this one seems to be more comfortable and good all the way around.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2024Size: One SizeColor: WhiteVerified PurchaseGreat hat overall. Really nice lightweight material. Only thing keeping it from a 5 star is the mesh coloring. It is off-white compared to bright white everywhere else on the hat, which makes the mesh appear dirty.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2025Size: One SizeColor: Dark GrayVerified PurchaseNice light weight for use outside in the sun.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2024Size: One SizeColor: GrillVerified PurchaseThese Bora Bora hats are great. I had another for years that finally wore out. I got a new one and it is just as good. In fact the brim on the new one has a little wider and stiffer brim, so better for sun protection. I have a big head and this fits fine, so don't let "unisex" scare you if you are a large male. It will still fit. I'd expect this one to last a long time like the original did.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2024Size: One SizeColor: GrillVerified PurchaseI look foolish in most hates. But in this hate I look very studly, let me assure you. Keeps the sun off my head, ears, and some of my shoulder. It fits well (medium adult men's head), color looks like what it is in the picture. It's comfortable and it is very durable.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2014Size: One SizeColor: SageVerified PurchaseI live in the tropics and the sun blazes relentlessly day in and day out. So I wear head protection and the Bora Bora Booney is a smart and comfy way to keep skin on my bean. It packs easily, compressing into almost nothing. As far as hats go, it's cooler than average due to the mesh ventilation and lightweight fabric, and certainly cooler than my cotton bucket and ball caps. But not as cool as my Columbia Men's Coolhead Ball Cap III (Omni-Freeze ZERO).
It's engineered as a sunhat and the dense weave fabric and large floppy brim provide excellent protection, besting any bucket or ball cap. No sign of burn on my noggin even after a day in the sun. Of course, should you get caught in a tropical downpour, the mesh ventilation windows leak, so not a rain hat. The adjustable chin strap keeps it from blowing away in trade winds but the brim is too large and floppy for heavy wind or ocean boat trips. I'm a photographer and the Booney's brim, although large, easily flexes out of the way when I shoot verticals with a DSLR. It fact, the Booney makes a fine lens shade! Alas, the brim is too floppy to stay if folded up--Australian explorer look--and lacks a snap to lock it in place.
Hat size is adjustable via drawstring. At default the hat is too large for my size 7.25 bean. A slight tug of the drawstring and the clip locks on my hat size and stays put. Simple but effective.
Construction quality is excellent: not a loose thread, nylon fabric is of good quality and it feels and looks durable. It does rock the safari look something fierce, so it that isn't your thing, check out Columbia's buckets or ball caps. However, I dig it and pair it with a Columbia Omni-Shade shirt most of the time.
This fair weather sun hat is wonderful for protecting my noggin and upper face during hiking, beach and gardening. I like it so much I bought three of them—camo, gray and khaki—so there’s always one at ready!
