Customer Reviews Columbia Bora Bora™ Booney II

This hat was purchased to be part of my gardening wardrobe. It replaces a Columbia hat that no longer appears to be available, and which served me well for many years. Come Spring we'll see how it works. It is certainly oddly designed, and the fabric may not be as stout as it's predecessor.

I wanted a hat that will protect my ears, face and neck from the sun while I walk. The hat does an adequate job in that matter. My only complaint is in spite of the mesh sides the heat retention is more than I had hoped for. Over it is a good product.

Nice hat for the beach or kayaking. A bit thin and floppier than expected.

Love the hat, but I can't wear it because it arrived completely crumpled and the brim is bent in a way that it cannot be reshaped. Complete waste of money. If it could be shipped in a BOX instead of an envelope that would solve the problem.

It is a different color than represented on line.

I bought this hat because i live in the south, where it is very hot and humid. Although this hat is lite, it is not cool. The rim is so flimsy it blocks your view, especially from the side. I was mowing my yard and would have to lift the front of the rim up or the wind would push it down in my face. Just not what i thought it would be.

The so-called small is not small and so has to be cinched up to stay on. The brim then flops and wrinkles so it is always hanging down in ones eyes. Probably the least functional hat I have owned.

Too large for my head even though I measured and the chart said it would fit. Returned.

i was lookng for a rain/sun hat. decided this wasn't waterproof so I returned it.

The headband does not fit as it should and does not fit against the head.

The brim needs to be stiffer. Texas heat causes extreme sweating, which gets absorbed into the brim. As a result, the brim flops down on both sides of the face. Obviously, the same thing would happen in a rain.

Arrived creased. Soaked in a tub of water. Removed some of the crease but hat is still compromised. More floppy when on then then I anticipated. I was hoping for more structure. Not convinced it will hold up well through packing.

I won't buy one size fits all hats, so quit emailing me.

Doesn't look as nice as it does in the photos. The brim is wrinkled and floppy.

ordered this as direct replacement of identical hat that was lost, this hat's brim was incredibly floppy which made it pretty useless, nothing at all like the "old" one, sent it back

Just received this hat, might as well have a rag on my head. Can't even see as the brim gets in the way of what I want to see. Returning it as soon as I can.

I live in Wyoming where we have an average of 320 sunny days a year. The brim on this hat wouldn't protect my face as well as the previous Columbia hat I had that my sister left on the beach in Baja. The hat has an elastic hat band adjuster but because it was so large when I drew in the elastic it unsightly gathers formed.
