Outdoor Research Helios Sun Hat – Khaki, Medium | UPF50+ Sun Protection

Meet the Outdoor Research Helios Sun Hat, a versatile companion for sun-soaked adventures. The khaki crown and brim are designed to shield you from bright days while staying light on the head. This hat blends practical comfort with performance-ready details that travel quietly from trail to shoreline, without demanding your full attention.

Why it shines in sunny settings

The Helios uses SolarShield construction with UPF 50+ protection, helping reduce sun exposure on exposed skin. The wide brim creates a generous shade zone, so you can focus on the view or your pace rather than glare. A TransAction headband moves moisture away from your brow, helping you stay dry and comfortable as you push along. When the day heats up, the hat is designed to feel breathable and quick-drying, so you can move without feeling weighed down.
