          Comments about Outdoor Research Helios Sun Hat:

          Used in urban and hiking outings. Although it does not have vents, it does not feel hot and can be worn for hours, hardly noticing it. Saved me having to put greasy smelly sunscreen on face and back of neck, brim is wide and protective. Chin strap great in wind. When no wind, chin strap over top gives that cool "Aussie" look.

            The hat breathes very well. Only the sweatband around my forehead ever gets sweaty. The wide brim is great for keeping the sun off my neck and face.

                Comments about Outdoor Research Helios Sun Hat:

                I needed a sun hat for my long runs. It had to be light weight and the headband to not become wet from sweat. This hat is it! I can easily tuck it into the back of my pants during long shady sections of my run. The hat size can be easily adjusted and the neck tie can be untied for removal. It's stylish and exceeds my expectations.

                    I gave this to my husband who is very particular, and tends to reject things that don't suit him perfectly. He loved this hat, especially the adjustment for size that made it fit his head perfectly. He has potential skin cancer on his scalp, and so has worn many hats over the years, and this is his favorite.

                              A:

                              The main difference between the Helios hat and the Transit hat is that the transit hat is made of Cotton and the Helios is a polyester and nylon hat, which makes it a quick drying hat as well.
