Rab says:
Made to keep you cool when the sun's beating down, this boonie-style hat has a soft brim and packable 5-panel design, great for stashing away on multi-day trips. With breathable mesh and a removable chin strap, it's ideal for running and moving fast.
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.
