Rain Hat

| by | Hat Resource | Articles

A rain hat is a waterproof hat specifically intended to keep the head and hair dry. They typically have a tight crown and a wide or flipped-up brim to keep rain off the face. Most tie under the chin to secure the hat to the head during windy, rainy weather.
