A lightweight, breathable sun hat that balances coverage with comfort on warm days
Rab says:
A hat that’s your companion on demanding mountain runs and long, multi-day adventures needs to be as packable as possible. That’s why we’ve given the Rab Boonie Hat a soft brim and a foldable 5-panel design, so you can tuck it into your running vest or keep it stashed away in your backpack, ready to pull out when the heat hits. Engineered with a combination of lightweight, wicking fabrics including a venting mesh crown, this boonie-style hat is crucial to keeping a cool head when you’re moving at pace in hot climates.
Our Verdict
The Rab Boonie Hat offers a comfortable, adaptable fit with an elastic adjustment and a chinstrap, so it sits securely without feeling restrictive. At 71g (S/M), it feels light, with a soft construction that avoids pressure and works well over longer periods.
Breathability is a clear strength, with mesh panels allowing good airflow and helping manage heat during steady movement. The fabric handles moisture effectively and dries quickly.
The soft brim provides consistent shade and packs down easily without losing shape. Overall, it is a well-balanced option that focuses on airflow, comfort and packability.
